Civil/Structural Engineer (

Job Description

This role offers an opportunity for a Civil/Structural Engineer ( with a strong background in concrete structural engineering to provide technical leadership on transmission, distribution, substation, and downtown underground infrastructure projects. You will take ownership of projects from early feasibility through detailed design, construction, and closeout, producing and reviewing a full range of engineering deliverables and supporting construction teams in the field.

The position is ideal for a well-rounded engineer who enjoys balancing hands-on design work, project coordination, and collaboration with multidisciplinary engineering and construction teams on small, fast-paced projects.

Responsibilities

Lead and perform structural engineering design for concrete-based infrastructure, including manholes, duct banks, and substation foundations, using appropriate codes and standards.

Prepare feasibility and conceptual assessments, design scopes, detailed structural designs, calculations, and design review documentation for transmission, distribution, and substation projects.

Stamp engineering designs and documents as a Professional Engineer, taking responsibility for the quality and integrity of the work.

Conduct structural assessments and condition evaluations of existing infrastructure and develop repair, retrofit, or replacement strategies that support long-term asset lifecycle management.

Review and coordinate third-party and EPC firm designs, ensuring compliance with civil and structural standards, project requirements, and stakeholder expectations.

Respond to and review construction Requests for Information, consulting with relevant parties and providing clear, timely guidance to resolve design or construction issues.

Collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams, including electrical and other civil/structural engineers, to integrate structural solutions into broader project designs.

Work directly with construction and field teams, providing consultation, clarification, and general support during construction, including occasional site visits.

Apply bridge and road construction knowledge to the design of manholes and duct banks located beneath roadways, using bridge design codes as a benchmark where appropriate.

Produce field instructions, inspection reports, and record documentation to support construction, commissioning, and project closeout activities.

Manage multiple small, fast-paced projects concurrently, maintaining schedules, priorities, and communication with internal stakeholders and external consultants.

Participate in design reviews and internal quality checks to ensure structural safety, constructability, and adherence to applicable CSA standards.

Essential Skills

Minimum of 5+ years of experience as a structural or civil engineer with a focus on structural design.

Registered . in civil or structural engineering, or eligibility for . status with The Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta (APEGA).

Strong proficiency in concrete structural engineering, with concrete as the primary material for project designs.

Demonstrated experience in structural design and a clear willingness and ability to perform hands-on design work and stamp drawings and calculations.

Practical understanding and experience with road or bridge construction, particularly in relation to infrastructure located under roadways.

Proven experience working within multidisciplinary engineering teams, including collaboration with electrical and other civil/structural engineers.

Sound knowledge of civil and structural standards and codes, including CSA A23 (Design of Concrete Structures) and CSA S16 (Design of Steel Structures).

Experience coordinating with EPC firms and overseeing or integrating their design efforts into overall project deliverables.

Experience reviewing construction Requests for Information and providing engineering responses in coordination with relevant stakeholders.

Ability to communicate effectively with engineering colleagues, consultants, and construction personnel and maintain productive long-term working relationships.

Capacity to manage multiple concurrent projects and deliver high-quality work in a fast-paced environment.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

Familiarity with CSA S6 (Highway Bridge Design Code) is preferred, especially for work involving manholes and duct banks beneath roadways.

Familiarity with CSA O86 (Engineering Design in Wood) and CSA S269.1 (Falsework and Formwork) is considered an asset.

Experience with timber design (wood) for falsework and formwork is an advantage.

Experience conducting condition assessments of existing civil or structural infrastructure.

Prior experience with reinforced concrete design beyond basic competency is considered a strong asset.

Previous city utility civil or structural design experience is beneficial, particularly for underground and urban infrastructure projects.

Experience in rehabilitation,…
