• Maintaining quality throughout a project and implement improvements when determined

• Preparing regular project summary reports

• Encouraging growth within the group and increasing the general knowledge base throughout the company

• Developing and sustaining long-lasting business relationships with clients

• Identifying and mitigating potential hazards in the field or onsite, promoting a safe working environment.

The good stuff you get:

• Full time permanentsalaried position

• Employee owned company with future potential to be a shareholder

• Year end profit sharing bonus

• Health and dental benefits

• Matching RRSP employer contributions up to 5%

• Work/life balance including a 37.5 hour work week and flexible working arrangements including hybrid options.

• Growth and development opportunities as we work on a large variety of projects so you can build your skills and experience.

Your qualifications and what you bring:

• Bachelor’s degree in civil engineering from an accredited University

• Minimum of 12 years of experience in civil engineering including specific expertise in marine structures.

• Adaptability to represent GEMTEC professionally with clients, developers, or contractors

• Strong written and verbal communication skills needed to convey technical ideas clearly

• Eligibility to register or are currently registered as a Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) with one or more of the Atlantic provinces
  

• Proven ability to manage projects
