Building Enclosure Engineer-in-Training

Building Enclosure Engineer in Training

Have you recently graduated from a Structural program and are looking to gain unique experience in Building Enclosure work? We are looking to grow and mentor an EIT that will be based out of our Calgary, AB office.

You will be introduced to the full lifecycle of enclosure projects — from initial condition assessments and risk identification through design, contract administration and field review. You will work alongside experienced team members, supporting clients, contractors and multidisciplinary teams, and building your technical skills on every file.

• Assisting in the preparation of design packages including drawings and specifications.
• Field review of work in progress to confirm general conformance to the design documents.
• Review documentation (e.g., architectural drawings) to identify areas of risk for water ingress, air leakage, and condensation.
• General contract administration tasks – change orders, site instructions, certificates for payment, etc.
• Assisting with investigations and reports documenting existing conditions and evaluation of future risks.
• Supporting Building Enclosure Condition Assessments across a range of building types and sectors.
• Other related duties as assigned.

As a new member of ISL’s Building Enclosure team, this future ISLer models our organizational values of Curiosity, Unity, Integrity and Excellence.

• You ask “why is this failing?” before determining how to address it.
• You have a genuine interest in building science underlying enclosure performance, vapour drive, thermal bridging, pressure differentials, and you are motivated to keep developing that knowledge.

• You are effective working alongside architects, contractors and other disciplines, recognizing that sound enclosure design is resolved at the interfaces between systems.
• You communicate clearly, follow through on commitments and make it easier for the people around you to do their best work.
