Your New Company

Hays is partnering with a leading Canadian energy organization on a major in-situ operation in northern Alberta. This site-based opportunity supports the safe and successful delivery of construction projects in a technically complex operating environment, working closely with construction contractors, engineering teams, project management and commissioning stakeholders.

Your New Role

As the CSA Field Engineer / Quality Assurance Engineer, you will combine hands-on field engineering with construction quality assurance across civil, structural and architectural scopes. You will resolve technical and constructability issues, review engineering and quality documentation, support inspections and work package execution, and help ensure construction is completed safely and in accordance with applicable codes, drawings, specifications and project requirements.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide field engineering support, resolving RFIs, field changes, design questions and constructability issues in coordination with contractors and the Engineer of Record.
• Review drawings, specifications, shop drawings, engineering packages and construction work packages for technical accuracy and completeness.
• Review Quality Plans, Inspection and Test Plans (ITPs), construction quality procedures and contractor QA documentation.
• Conduct field inspections, quality surveillance and audits, including witnessing activities identified within approved ITPs and initiating NCRs when required.
• Lead construction, installation work package and final walkdowns, supporting deficiency identification, technical resolution and closeout.
• Support mechanical completion and turnover by reviewing redlines, change documentation, QA records and final turnover packages.

What You'll Need to Succeed

Must-Have Requirements

• Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) registration, with the ability to authenticate professional engineering work products.
• Civil, structural and/or architectural engineering background suitable for CSA field engineering responsibilities.
• Strong knowledge of the Alberta Building Code and National Building Code of Canada.
• Demonstrated field engineering experience supporting construction activities and resolving technical or constructability issues.
• Practical experience with construction quality assurance, including ITPs, inspections, NCRs and contractor quality documentation.
• Ability to work effectively with contractors, construction management, project teams and Engineers of Record in a site environment.

Nice-to-Have Requirements

• Previous experience supporting oil sands, in-situ, heavy industrial or energy construction projects.
• Experience with mechanical completion, construction turnover, redline documentation and work package closeout.
• Familiarity with installation work packages, RFIs, FCNs, DCNs and structured turnover management processes.

What Success Looks Like

• Field engineering and construction issues are resolved safely, practically and without unnecessary impact to project milestones.
• Construction quality meets applicable engineering, code, specification and project requirements.
• Deficiencies, quality records and turnover documentation are progressively resolved to support efficient mechanical completion and handover.
