If you want to combine technical challenges, hourly remuneration (with paid overtime), and real advancement opportunities, this engineering and design role is for you.

Job Description

As a Civil Engineer - Inspection (IRI), you will play a key role within an expert team dedicated to bridges, dams, maritime infrastructures, and roads.

We are looking for a professional capable of managing projects from A to Z, from initial planning to presenting results to the client. You will join a team where technical expertise is valued, and where continuous training is not only encouraged but fully funded.

• Career Path: Real opportunity to become an associate/partner within the company.
• Continuous Learning: Funding for training, including university studies.
• Flexibility: Flexible schedule, hybrid mode, and tools adapted for remote work.
• Benefits: Complete group insurance (flexible choices) and RRSP with employer contribution (4%).
• Location: Modern offices in downtown Montreal, close to public transport.
• Fees Covered: OIQ dues and professional association fees paid.

Responsibilities

• Manage inspection projects by planning and coordinating interventions with all stakeholders involved.
• Perform general and detailed inspections and conduct damage surveys on bridges and structural works (visual inspection, working at heights, etc.).
• Perform structural modeling to evaluate load‑bearing capacity.
• Write inspection reports, evaluations, technical expertise documents, and specialized studies with high rigor.
• Present results, technical analyses, and recommendations to clients.
• Contribute to continuous process improvement by developing procedures, IT tools, and internal training documents.
• Prepare calls for tenders, including strategic planning and cost estimation.
• Actively participate in project kickoff and follow‑up meetings.

Qualifications

Skills:

• Proficiency in MS Office Suite (Advanced Excel) and Microsoft Project.
• Excellent understanding of structural behavior and material degradation phenomena.
• Superior writing skills and impeccable mastery of French (oral and written) are mandatory.
• Comfortable working at heights and in confined spaces (inspection via climbing or aerial lift).
• Natural leadership, scientific rigor, and professionalism in client relations.
• In‑depth knowledge of MTQ standards and procedures.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering or Construction Engineering (Master's is an asset).
• Member in good standing of the Ordre des ingénieurs du Québec (OIQ).
• Minimum of 4 to 5 years of relevant experience in the inspection or evaluation of bridges and structural works.
• Hold the "Ingénieur Responsable de l'Inspection" (IRI) qualification or possess the prerequisites (60,000 m² inspected) to obtain it quickly.
• Valid driver's license (travel required for inspections).
• ASP Construction card (Health and Safety on construction sites).
