Do you enjoy collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to bring designs to life?

Keep reading - this might be the role for you!

We’re currently looking for a SENIOR STRUCTURAL ENGINEER to join our Kingston team.

What does working at the Kingston location mean?

• Contact with the Barrie office will largely be virtual except for initial onboarding, periodic visits to Barrie for company events, and if otherwise decided on as a Team.
• You're an independent worker (you'll be the solo Structural team member in Kingston), though this does not mean unsupported! There is daily contact with the Barrie team via Teams, email, phone, as you need and inclusion in meetings and team conversations.

What will you be doing in this role?

• Lead the successful planning, execution, and completion of structural engineering projects for our clients - with a strong focus on quality, cost-effective delivery, safety, and compliance.
• Act as Project Manager on single-discipline projects, keeping them on time and on budget.
• Coordinate with Gerrits' Project Management team on multi-disciplinary projects to keep things moving forward as planned.
• Provide technical expertise, guidance, training, and mentorship to your team.
• Write proposals and reports, review designs, and coordinate with vendors and clients.
• Using your extensive knowledge of building codes and structural standards: OBC Part 4, CSA A23.3, CSA S16, CSA S136, CSA O86

What will help you succeed in this role?

• Bachelor's degree in engineering, with an emphasis in Structural Engineering.
• P.Eng. designation in good standing with Professional Engineers Ontario (PEO).
• 8+ years of experience in an Engineering role.
• Comfortable with field work — construction sites, contractors, and building relationships in the Kingston area are a regular part of this role.
• Proficient in Microsoft Office and structural analysis software (e.g., SAFI GSE, S-Frame, SPSlab, MASS, Woodworks); basic coding experience is a plus.
• Strong, client-focused work ethic, and entrepreneurial approach.
• A collaborative mindset - you speak up, share your perspective, and aren't afraid to respectfully challenge the team when you see a better way.

What we offer:

• Work alongside Professional Engineers, Engineering Interns, Designers, Drafters, and more.
• A 37.5-hour work week.
• Hybrid work environment.
• A salary that reflects your experience and qualifications (see Compensation below).
• A comprehensive Total Rewards package, including Canada Life benefits, a MyHSA spending account, and an optional GRSP/DPSP program.
• Opportunities to get involved in charitable initiatives throughout the year.
• Ongoing support for your professional development and growth.

Founded in 2006, Gerrits is a multi-disciplinary engineering consulting firm built on a team that genuinely enjoys working together. Everything we do is guided by our Mission, Vision, and Core Values – Genuine, Engaged, Leadership – and our relaxed, supportive office environment gives everyone room to thrive, both personally and professionally.
