Senior Structural Engineer (P.Eng.)
Calgary, AB · On-site · Full-time, permanent
You've designed enough buildings to know what good looks like. Now you want to be the engineer the team checks with — engineer of record on the harder projects, reviewing others' work and shaping how our structural team designs, with every other discipline in-house.
Licence
P.Eng. with APEGA, in good standing
Experience
7+ years of structural design on buildings
Reports to
Director of Structural
Project types
Multi-family residential, commercial and institutional buildings across Alberta and Canada
Why this role
We're growing our structural team in Calgary. You'll lead structural design on multi-family residential, commercial and institutional buildings, act as engineer of record, and work alongside our own mechanical, electrical, civil and fire protection engineers, so coordination happens inside one firm.
What you'll do
Lead the structural design as engineer of record — concept, analysis, drawings, specifications and construction support.
Solve the harder problems — lateral systems, transfer structures and mixed wood, steel and concrete buildings.
Review and stamp calculations and drawings prepared by intermediate and junior engineers.
Coordinate with architects and our in-house mechanical, electrical, civil and fire protection teams so designs are resolved before they reach site.
Be the structural lead for your clients — in meetings, in presentations and on site.
Support construction — shop drawings, RFIs, site reviews and field issues.
Mentor engineers and technologists, and help build our structural standards.
Help win work — proposals, fee estimates and client relationships.
What success looks like after year one
You're engineer of record on several active projects, running them with little oversight.
Intermediate engineers bring their designs to you for review — and need fewer changes by year-end.
You've shaped proposals and fee estimates on new structural work.
What you bring
Must-haves
Bachelor's degree in civil or structural engineering.
