This construction specialist are leaders in their field and are looking for a junior-to-mid-level Structural Engineer who can learn the company's systems and processes, and gradually take on greater responsibility as the engineering function continues to grow.

This is an excellent opportunity to join an employee-owned construction structural specialist who will help you obtain your P.E. licence and further develop your career in a direct and individually-tailored path.

THE ROLE:

• Perform structural analysis and engineering calculations for new construction projects, providing engineering support for structural steel, metal panel and associated structural systems.


• Work closely with the sales team on value engineering and design-assist projects, reviewing designs and developing structurally sound, practical and cost-effective solutions.
