• Attend all weekly T-Minus meetings, capture technical actions, follow up with accountable parties, and ensure key decisions are communicated clearly to construction and design stakeholders.
• Support construction teams by reviewing design intent, identifying constructability risks, coordinating responses to RFIs, and helping resolve technical issues that may affect safety, quality, schedule, or sequencing.
• Work closely with civil, track, systems, utilities, stations, operations, testing and commissioning, and project controls teams to support effective multidisciplinary delivery.
• Support technical reviews, inspection readiness, change assessment, non-conformance resolution, and implementation of applicable project requirements, standards, specifications, and procedures.
• Provide clear progress updates, issue summaries, technical recommendations, and escalation support to the Construction Manager and project leadership team.

• Bachelor's Degree in Civil Engineering, Railway Engineering, Construction Management, or a related field.
• Registered as a Professional Engineer (P. Eng) in Ontario.
• Strong experience in rail or transit infrastructure delivery, ideally with hands‑on exposure to construction support, design coordination, or delivery partner environments.
• Strong technical understanding of track and civil infrastructure, including interfaces across multidisciplinary rail/transit programs.
• Experience supporting construction teams with design clarifications, RFIs, method statements, submittals, field issues, non-conformances, change management, and technical risk resolution.
• Ability to work effectively with construction managers, design managers, discipline leads, contractors, consultants, client representatives, and project leadership.
• Previous experience with major transit projects in Ontario or comparable Canadian jurisdictions is an asset.
• Strong communication, coordination, problem-solving, and decision‑making skills, with the ability to translate technical information into clear actions.
