Job description

Overview

Aplin is partnering with a growing Alberta-based consulting engineering firm to recruit a Process Field Reviewer and Drafting / Design Technologist to support a portfolio of water and wastewater infrastructure projects. This is a hybrid field and design role—ideal for a technologist with a blend of CAD drafting experience and on-site construction support expertise. The successful candidate will split their time between fieldwork (approx. 50%) and office-based design coordination (approx. 50%), contributing to project delivery across the full lifecycle—from design to commissioning. This role is ideal for a hands-on, solutions-driven technologist looking to grow their career in a high-impact environment.

Key Responsibilities

Design & Drafting Support

• Prepare technical drawings, process flow diagrams, P&IDs, and mechanical equipment layouts using Autodesk AutoCAD and AutoCAD Plant 3D.
• Support the selection and layout of pumps, valves, piping, instrumentation, and process systems for water and wastewater facilities.
• Coordinate multi-discipline drawing sets (civil, structural, mechanical, HVAC, electrical) for engineering packages.
• Ensure CAD documentation is accurate, well-organized, and aligned with quality standards.

Field Review & Construction Support

• Perform field engineering reviews and site inspections to monitor conformance with design specifications and construction contracts.
• Represent the engineering team on active construction sites—acting as the key liaison between engineering, contractors, and clients.
• Participate in construction meetings and site walkthroughs; record and report progress updates, issues, and design changes.
• Maintain construction documentation including RFIs, shop drawings, progress payment certifications, site instructions, and testing logs.
• Assist with commissioning activities for water / wastewater treatment systems.

Project Coordination

• Contribute to construction contract administration by maintaining documentation logs and tracking change orders, field instructions, and correspondence.
• Support communication flow between the office engineering team and external stakeholders.
• Produce field reports, photo documentation, and as-built markups throughout project execution.

Qualifications

• Diploma in Engineering Design Technology or Mechanical Engineering Technology from an accredited institution (NAIT or equivalent).
• 2–5 years of experience in consulting engineering, ideally in municipal water and wastewater infrastructure.
• Registration with ASET as a Technologist-in-Training (T.T.), with active pursuit or attainment of C.E.T. designation.
• Proficiency in AutoCAD and AutoCAD Plant 3D (2D and 3D design environments).
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with an ability to work independently and collaboratively.
• Valid Class 5 driver’s licence; willingness to travel to project sites across Alberta (including multi-day site stays).

Why Apply

• Contribute to impactful infrastructure that supports Alberta communities.
• Take on a diverse role that blends technical design with field-based construction execution.
• Join a people-focused firm known for its team culture, meaningful work, and strong reputation for engineering excellence.
• Competitive compensation, challenging projects, and strong opportunities for professional development.
