Industrial, Mechanical Engineer - Gatineau

WSP in Canada; Outaouais; On-site; CAD 76,000 - 119,000; Full time

Job summary

WSP in Canada is seeking a senior Mechanical Engineer to advance industrial systems through hands‑on engineering, detailed calculations, and robust designs for manufacturing and process facilities. You will focus on equipment sizing, material selection, and code‑compliant deliverables while applying field insights and standards such as CSA/ASME/NFPA.

Fluency in French is required. Collaborate with CAD/Revit teams, perform site assessments, and deliver clear memos and design notes to support

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering and eligibility for P.Eng. with the OIQ.
• 10+ years of mechanical engineering experience in industrial environments (manufacturing lines, heavy equipment, process systems, utilities, material handling).
• Strong command of modeling and analysis tools such as AutoCAD, Revit, FEA tools, mechanical simulation software, or reliability analysis platforms.
• Deep familiarity with industrial equipment — pumps, conveyors, blowers, pressure systems, mechanical drives, rotating and static equipment.
• Strong understanding of asset integrity, maintenance engineering, failure modes, and lifecycle analysis.
• Ability to translate complex technical problems into well‑structured engineering solutions.
• Comfortable performing field verification, equipment assessments, and detailed technical walkthroughs in operational industrial environments.
• Full professional proficiency in French

Responsibilities

• Perform detailed mechanical calculations for industrial equipment and systems, including stress analysis, heat transfer, ventilation, piping, rotating machinery, and reliability engineering.
• Develop precise technical deliverables such as equipment specifications, P&IDs, mechanical datasheets, scoping documents, and design notes.
• Model and analyze mechanical components and assemblies, selecting materials, mechanical tolerances, and design parameters aligned with industrial codes and standards.
• Conduct equipment sizing (pumps, fans, compressors, heat exchangers, industrial HVAC units), ensuring safety, efficiency, and long‑term durability.
• Apply CSA, ASME, ANSI, NFPA, and other industrial standards to validate designs and ensure compliance across all deliverables.
• Review and interpret laser scans, 3D models, and field measurements to support retrofit, upgrade, and brownfield engineering.
• Perform root‑cause analyses to resolve equipment failures and operational issues, proposing robust engineering solutions.
• Prepare technical memos and engineering justification reports grounded in analytical methods and defensible engineering principles.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineers and CAD/REVIT designers, providing technical input without leading or managing project teams.
• Support site investigations and equipment inspections, documenting findings for integration into design packages.
