• A flexible and supportive work environment designed for long-term career growth

What You’ll Do
As an Intermediate Civil / Structural Engineer, you will help deliver safe, constructible, and code-compliant designs. Your role will include:

Structural & Civil Design Support

• Support the design and analysis of steel, concrete, and foundation systems for oil and gas facilities and related infrastructure
• Prepare structural calculations, design checks, and supporting engineering documentation under supervision
• Develop engineering sketches and markups for drafting/design staff to produce structural models and design drawings
• Assist with material take-offs (MTOs), quantities, and work packages

Coordination & Team Collaboration

• Coordinate with process, piping, mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation disciplines to gather inputs and resolve interface items
• Participate in design reviews and incorporate feedback from senior engineers and other stakeholders
• Communicate effectively with internal teams and, as appropriate, clients and vendors

Project Execution & Delivery

• Support the delivery of civil/structural deliverables to meet scope, schedule, and quality requirements
• Assist with procurement support activities (e.g., reviewing vendor data, responding to technical queries)

Construction & Field Support

• Support responses to RFIs, field queries, and engineering clarifications during construction
• Participate in site visits/inspections as required, with guidance from senior staff

Safety, Quality & Compliance

• Follow engineering quality processes and support checking/verification practices
• Help ensure designs align with applicable codes, standards, and project specifications (e.g., CSA, CISC, NBC, provincial codes)

About You
You are a developing civil/structural engineer who enjoys practical design work, learning from experienced engineers, and contributing to multidisciplinary projects. You bring:

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil/Structural Engineering (required)
• P.Eng. registration/eligibility with APEGA (required)
• 5–8 years of relevant civil/structural engineering experience (oil & gas facilities experience preferred but not required)
• Strong communication, organization, and collaboration skills
• A detail-oriented, analytical approach to problem-solving

Technical Foundation

• Structural analysis/design exposure for steel and concrete structures
• Understanding of loads, foundations, and connection concepts (bolted/welded)
• Familiarity with industry design standards and drawing practices
• Familiarity with Canadian design codes and standards, including the National Building Code of Canada, CSA S16, and CSA A23.3
• Familiarity with US and/or Australian codes and standards would be an asset

Software Proficiency

• Working knowledge of structural tools such as RISA 3D (or equivalent), STAAD, SAP2000, S-FRAME, and MS Excel
