Provide on-site field review during construction to confirm general conformance with the design documents.

Review shop drawings, respond to requests for information, and provide contract administration support for your projects.

Who you are:

Bachelor’s Degree in Structural Engineering is required; a post-graduate degree is preferred.

5-12 years of related industry experience and registration as a P.Eng.
