• Reporting : Prepare and draft comprehensive engineering reports, technical memos, proposals, and specifications for review by Senior Engineers.
• Construction Support : Conduct site reviews and provide engineering support during construction to ensure adherence to design intent and quality standards.
• Project Management : Manage small to medium-sized projects (or components of larger projects), including tracking budgets, schedules, and resources.
• Mentorship : Provide technical guidance and feedback to Junior Engineers, EITs, and Technicians, helping to foster their development.
• Compliance : Ensure deliverables meet municipal, provincial, and federal codes (e.g., BC Building Code, MMCD) and internal quality standards.
• Collaboration : Coordinate with civil, structural, and environmental teams to ensure geotechnical constraints are integrated into the overall project design.
• Business Support : Assist in the preparation of proposals, work plans, and fee estimates.
