Job description

Are you an experienced Marine Structural Engineer looking to progress your career? We're looking for a Senior Marine Structural Engineer to join our growing team. We are open to filling this position in any of our Atlantic Canada offices including Fredericton, Moncton, Saint John, Grand Falls, Bathurst, Halifax or St. John’s.

At GEMTEC, we offer something different. We’re an employee‑owned, 400‑person multidisciplinary consulting firm—not too big, not too small. We’re large enough to compete head‑to‑head with publicly traded engineering giants, but still small enough to maintain the culture and flexibility of a close‑knit team.

Our size and hands‑on management style let us move quickly, embrace new opportunities, and empower our people to shape their own careers—without getting lost in corporate bureaucracy.

A typical day on the job might look like:
