Consultant Vibration Engineer

Wood is searching for a Consultant Vibration Engineer to join our Vibration, Dynamics and Noise (VDN) group. The preference would be for this individual to sit in our Houston, TX or Calgary, AB office, but we will consider qualified applicants in other locations in North America.

This is a technically challenging role solving complex vibration, fatigue, transients, or integrity related problems for our clients. You would be joining a team of world experts in Flow Induced Vibration, Acoustic Induced Vibration and Finite Element Analysis, dynamic stress and fatigue. We are especially interested in candidates with experience in hydraulic transient analysis. This is a client facing role with responsibilities in opportunity development with clients, proposals generation, project delivery and raising the profile of the Wood VDN team.

This is a great opportunity to make an impression in a growing, global organization. A strong communicator, with client-facing experience and a keen interest in vibration will thrive in this environment.

In our recruitment and hiring process at Wood Canada Ltd., we want to emphasize that we do not employ artificial intelligence or automated systems to screen or select candidates. We are committed to ensuring fairness and inclusivity by relying on the expertise from a team of professional recruiters for the application reviews, interviews, and qualification assessments.
