Tech Stack
About the role
- Perform structural engineering design and calculations for columns, beams, slabs, foundations, and lateral systems across all project stages—from concept through construction
- Design and engineer using structural steel, concrete, masonry, cold-formed steel, and timber
- Coordinate engineering drawings and contract documents in collaboration with BIM technologists and project teams
- Attend and lead design meetings with project teams and clients to resolve structural challenges and provide status updates
- Review architectural, mechanical, electrical, and structural drawings for coordination and constructability
- Contribute to project planning, scheduling, resource discussions, and cost monitoring with Project Managers
- Develop parametric models and scripts to automate structural engineering workflows, geometry generation, and analysis integration
- Create and customize tools and plugins that connect design-to-analysis platforms, including interoperability between Revit and engineering analysis software (SAP2000, ETABS, RAM, RFEM, Sofistik)
- Collaborate with engineers and designers to translate complex structural design requirements into computational solutions using Grasshopper, Revit, Python, and C#
- Build reusable workflows, templates, and component libraries that accelerate project delivery and enable knowledge sharing across the firm
- Support quality assurance by developing validation checks, reviewing computational outputs, and ensuring design accuracy
- Mentor junior staff on both structural design and computational techniques to ensure quality standards are upheld
- Identify and implement emerging computational design techniques that advance the firm’s capabilities and project performance
- Contribute to the development of standard details, specifications, and drawing standards, including Revit standards in coordination with the BIM team.
Requirements
- BSc in Structural Engineering, Civil Engineering, or Architectural Engineering (MSc considered an asset)
- Professional engineering status (P.Eng.) or eligibility for licensure in the applicable Canadian province
- Minimum 3–7 years of professional experience in structural engineering, including hands-on design and analysis work on building projects from concept through construction
- Demonstrated experience delivering structural projects across a range of scales and materials (steel, concrete, masonry, wood)
- Strong proficiency in structural engineering design and analysis tools: SAP2000, ETABS, RAM, RFEM, Sofistik, or equivalent
- Proficiency in Revit and working knowledge of BIM coordination workflows
- Working knowledge of Python and/or C# with the ability to write scripts and automate workflows, OR a strong motivation to develop these skills with on-the-job support
- Exposure to parametric modeling or computational design techniques (Grasshopper, Dynamo, or equivalent)—even at a foundational level
- Knowledge of applicable building codes (NBCC, CSA, provincial codes)
- Excellent communication skills—both verbal and written—with the ability to translate between engineering, design, and client teams
- Strong project management capability with a track record of delivering projects on time and on budget.
Benefits
- Competitive base salary
- Profit-sharing: An above-market, performance-based annual profit-sharing program with a strong track record of meaningful payouts
- Retirement: RRSP matching up to 5%
- Health & wellness: Employer-paid health insurance, comprehensive wellness program, and generous parental leave
- Time off: Generous vacation plan based on experience
- Culture & community: Team-building activities, social events, and a supportive environment where we celebrate success together
