Your Opportunity

Our Winnipeg Roadways & Highways team is seeking an experienced Roadway Design Engineer to grow into a technical and project leadership role within our transportation Business Center. This position is intended for a professional engineer with 5–10 years of progressive experience who is ready to Manage the full project lifecycle — from planning and preliminary design through detailed design, tendering, and construction support.

Your Key Responsibilities

• Lead and/or support the design of provincial highways, municipal/urban roadways, rural roads, and bridge-approach works from planning through detailed design and construction support.
• Develop horizontal and vertical geometry, cross-sections, corridor models, superelevation, earthworks/mass-balance quantities, and drainage coordination using Autodesk Civil 3D and Bentley OpenRoads Designer (ORD).
• Apply and interpret geometric design standards including MTI Geometric Design Criteria (Blue Sheets), the TAC Geometric Design Guide, and AASHTO policies; prepare design exceptions where criteria cannot be met within constraints.
• Prepare and review contract drawings, tender documents, technical specifications, design memos, opinions of probable cost, and engineering reports.
• Provide project management of small to medium-sized transportation projects — planning, organizing, and controlling scope, budgets, schedules, and financial performance — and assist senior PMs on larger multi-disciplinary commissions.
• Support proposals, RFP/RFS responses, work breakdown structures, fee estimates, and scope-change management.
• Provide construction-phase support and contract administration, including field reviews, RFIs, change orders, and site inspection.
• Liaise with clients, sub-consultants, utilities, and regulatory agencies; prepare correspondence and meeting minutes as required.
• Provide quality management reviews and technical guidance/mentoring to junior engineers, EITs, and CAD staff.

Your Capabilities and Credentials

• Minimum 5–10 years of transportation design experience, preferably in a Canadian consulting environment.
• P.Eng. registration with Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba (or eligibility to register).
• Strong working knowledge of applicable roadway and highway design standards (MTI, TAC, AASHTO).
• Proficiency in both Autodesk Civil 3D and Bentley OpenRoads Designer design environments would be considered an asset.
• Demonstrated experience across a variety of project types — highways, urban/municipal roads, and bridges — at both a technical and project-management level.
• Field, construction, and/or survey experience is a strong asset, bringing practical, constructible design judgment.
• Outstanding communication, documentation, and proposal-writing skills.
