Structural Engineer – Technical Sales & Business Development
SETIN | Greater Toronto Area | Full-Time
SETIN is looking for a commercially minded Structural Engineer who can combine strong technical knowledge with business development and sales.
This is not a traditional engineering role.
We are looking for someone who understands construction, structural systems, and project requirements - but is also confident meeting clients, developing relationships, identifying opportunities, and turning those opportunities into projects.
About SETIN
SETIN provides construction services across residential and commercial projects, including:
• Footing & Foundation
• Concrete Work
• ICF Construction
• Structural Construction Services
• Drywall & Interior Construction
• Specialty Finishes and Related Construction Services
We work with custom home builders, developers, general contractors, architects, designers, commercial clients, and other industry partners across the GTA.
What You’ll Do
Business Development & Sales
• Develop new business with custom home builders, developers, general contractors, architects, designers, and commercial clients

Technical & Project Support
• Review structural drawings, plans, specifications, and project requirements
• Identify project scope, constructability considerations, and potential technical challenges
• Work closely with estimating, operations, and construction teams
• Support pricing discussions and technical clarification with clients
• Communicate effectively between clients, engineers, contractors, and internal teams
• Assist in evaluating project feasibility and construction methods
• Support a smooth handoff from sales into estimating and project execution
Who We’re Looking For
You are someone who:
• Has a background in Structural Engineering or Civil Engineering with structural experience
• Understands residential and commercial construction
• Is comfortable reading structural drawings and construction documents
• Has excellent communication and presentation skills
• Is confident speaking with builders, developers, architects, contractors, and business owners
• Is comfortable with cold calling and outbound business development
• Can explain technical information in a clear and practical way
• Has strong negotiation and relationship-building skills
• Is proactive, organized, and commercially minded
• Enjoys both the technical and business sides of construction

Preferred Qualifications
• Bachelor’s degree in Structural Engineering, Civil Engineering, or a related field
• P.Eng. designation in Ontario is preferred
• 3+ years of experience in structural engineering, construction, technical sales, or business development
• Experience with residential, custom home, commercial, concrete, foundation, or ICF projects is a strong asset
• Existing relationships with builders, developers, architects, engineers, or contractors are highly valued
• Previous technical sales or construction business development experience is an asset
• Valid driver’s licence and ability to travel to meetings and project sites throughout the GTA
Compensation & Growth
Base salary + highly attractive commission structure
This position offers strong earning potential for someone who can consistently generate and close new business.
The opportunity goes well beyond commission.
SETIN is growing, and we want someone who can grow with us. A high-performing candidate will have the opportunity to take on greater responsibility, develop their own portfolio of clients, and move into a more senior business development or leadership position as the company expands.
We are looking for someone who wants to build something, grow their career, and directly benefit from the business they generate.
What Success Looks Like
You understand the technical side of the project.
You can speak the language of builders, engineers, developers, and contractors.
You consistently create new business opportunities.
You build trusted relationships.
And you turn technical conversations into real construction projects.
If you are a Structural Engineer with a strong commercial mindset and want to combine engineering, sales, and business growth, we’d love to hear from you.
