Sr Structural Engineer

At our core, we’re a community. Together, we exercise creative thought, developing engineering and designs as individual as the people and projects we touch. From approval and permitting to design and construction management services, we put the goals of our clients and their communities at the center of everything we create. Join us as we assist mining companies in getting mined materials to communities around the globe.

We are a leader in underground hard rock mining engineering and related technology, serving the largest, deepest, and most technically challenging mines in the world. This is where great ideas and rewarding careers are built.

We are currently seeking a Structural Engineer to join the Energy and Resources team. The successful candidate will work on a variety of projects within the Energy and Resource sector ranging from studies to detail engineering and construction support for projects in North America and across the world. This role would provide an opportunity to be a part of a diverse team while focusing on technical growth and leading work related to Mining, Energy, and other heavy industrial infrastructure.

This is a great opportunity for a motivated individual who wants to challenge their abilities in a dynamic work environment. As a registered Professional Engineer, you will be responsible for structural engineering design and analysis under minimal supervision. You will make sound structural engineering decisions and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to deliver high‑quality solutions.
