Your expertise ensures project requirements are translated into accurate and constructible solutions.

You will be expected to coordinate closely with the CAD standards group to maintain drafting and modeling standards across all project deliverables. Collaborating with other design disciplines is essential for effective integration of multidisciplinary inputs, resolving interface issues, and supporting seamless project delivery. This collaborative approach is key to upholding quality and consistency throughout the design process.

Additionally, you will assist junior designers with design concepts and software questions, providing guidance and mentorship to help develop their technical skills. By sharing your knowledge and experience, you help build a capable design team and reinforce high standards of performance across all phases of the project.

• Possess a collaborative attitude in working with other members of a road and transportation team.
• Able to work independently with direction and supervision as needed based on the complexity of the assignment(s).
• Lead and contribute to the planning, preliminary, and detailed design of roadways and highways.
• Ensure compliance with local, provincial, and federal design standards (e.g., TAC, OTM, MTO Design Supplements).
• Perform quantity takeoffs, cost estimating, and design calculations.
