- Perform preliminary engineering calculations and analyses under the guidance of experienced engineers.
- Prepare and review engineering drawings, reports, specifications, and other technical documentation.
- Coordinate with multidisciplinary teams, including mechanical, piping, electrical, instrumentation, and process engineering.
- Work with designers and drafting personnel to develop coordinated engineering drawings and design packages.
- Participate in site visits, field investigations, and existing facility assessments as required.
- Ensure engineering work complies with applicable codes, standards, project requirements, and quality procedures.
- Continue developing technical knowledge and professional competencies toward obtaining your P.Eng.
What We’re Looking For
- Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering or equivalent.
- Eligible for or currently registered as an EIT with APEGA.
- 0–4 years of engineering experience, preferably in an industrial, EPC or consulting environment.
- Previous co-op, internship or project experience in an industrial environment is an asset.
- Foundational knowledge of civil and structural engineering principles, including steel and concrete design.
- Familiarity with applicable Canadian codes and standards, such as the National Building Code of Canada, CSA S16, and CSA A23.3, is an asset.
- Exposure to structural analysis and design software, such as STAAD.Pro or equivalent, is an asset.
- Familiarity with AutoCAD, structural drawings, and 3D design environments is considered an asset.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, and organizational skills.
- Effective written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to work collaboratively in a multidisciplinary team.
- A willingness to learn, take initiative, and seek guidance from experienced team members.
