The Opportunity

McElhanney is seeking a motivated junior / intermediate designer to join our municipal engineering team in Langley, BC. This is an exciting opportunity to build design expertise across a wide variety of projects from land development and utilities design to road improvements and master planning.

• Work with a multi-disciplinary team to deliver high-quality projects on time and budget.
• Support the continuous improvement of our design workflows by contributing to standards and best-practice development.
• Coordinate and assist in the preparation of documents required for approvals, prepare development and construction cost estimates, tender documents and contracts, and coordinate with other team members to ensure schedules, budgets and quality control standards are achieved.
