- Exposure to diverse facilities projects across Canada and international markets
- A flexible and supportive work environment designed for long‑term career growth
What You’ll Do
As a Senior Civil / Structural Engineer, you will be responsible for delivering safe, constructible, and code‑compliant designs. Your role will include:
- Lead the civil and structural engineering design of oil and gas facilities, pipelines, and related infrastructure across all project phases—from conceptual and FEED through detailed engineering
- Develop, analyze, review, and approve structural designs, calculations, drawings, specifications, and technical reports
- Apply expertise in foundations, steel structures, concrete design, and modularized systems
- Ensure designs meet applicable codes, standards, and client specifications (CSA, CISC, NBC, provincial codes; experience with US or Australian codes and standards considered an asset)
- Coordinate closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams to ensure structural designs are fully integrated with process, piping, electrical, and mechanical disciplines
- Lead and mentor junior engineers and designers, supporting technical development and knowledge sharing
- Provide technical guidance and oversight to ensure consistent, high‑quality deliverables
- Manage civil/structural deliverables, schedules, and budgets to support on‑time and on‑budget project execution
- Support project bidding, procurement, and construction phases with technical input and evaluations
- Conduct design reviews, constructability assessments, and risk analyses to proactively identify and mitigate issues
- Perform site assessments and inspections as required
- Provide engineering support during construction, responding to field queries and resolving technical challenges
- Ensure designs are practical, buildable, and aligned with safety and quality standards
- Ensure adherence to safety, environmental, and quality requirements throughout the project lifecycle
- Promote best practices in engineering quality control and continuous improvement
