Structural Engineer

Company Description

Ferrovial Construction Canada Inc. and VINCI Construction Grands Projets are undertaking the design, build, and finance the Ontario Line Southern Civil, Stations, and Tunnel (South Civil) package.

As Ontario Transit Group, we are now mobilizing our design and construction crews, with major works. The South Civil contract is anticipated to be completed in 2030. The project will strengthen Ontario’s economy by supporting an estimated 1,500 jobs at the peak of construction.

• A six-kilometer tunnel and associated tunnelling works from Exhibition to Don Yard portal (west of the Don River)
• Stations:
  • One above-ground station to be integrated with the existing GO Transit Exhibition Station
  • Two underground stations to be integrated with the existing TTC Osgoode and Queen subway stations
  • Four new underground stations (King/Bathurst, Queen/Spadina, Moss Park, Corktown)

Faster, more frequent, and reliable access to rapid transit with more than 227,500 people will live within a 10-minute walk of an Ontario Line station.

• Improve the quality of life for commuters by reducing daily travel time
• Reduce crowding on the existing Line 1 (Yonge-University) subway
• Up to 57,000 more jobs accessible by transit (in 45 minutes or less) for Toronto residents
• Economic and community growth along the future transit line and thousands of job opportunities annually during construction
• Reduction in traffic congestion, greenhouse gases and fuel consumption by providing an alternative transportation option

As a Structural Engineer (CTO Design Coordinator), you will support the Construction Technical Office (CTO) and serve as a bridge between our Construction Team and our Designers, addressing any design‑related issues that arise during the Construction Phase of the Project until Construction Completion is achieved.

The salary range for this position is $100,000 CAD - $140,000 CAD, plus additional benefits.

• Work closely with the Construction Team to coordinate with our Designers on any design changes and issues that inevitably occur during construction, related to the structural design. These issues will be related to the IFC documentation and will be in the form of Requests For Information (RFI), Field Change Requests (FCR), Non‑Conformances (NCR), Notices of Design Change (NDC), etc.
• Attend, organize, or lead regular and ad‑hoc meetings focused on structural questions with the Construction Team and the Designers.
• Track the performance of the Designers in terms of their responses to RFI, FCR, NDC, NCR, etc., for the structural topics as well as their review of shop drawings, evaluating potential impacts on the Construction Schedule.
• Prepare, regularly update, and track the schedule of shop drawings and other design submittals reviewed by our Designers.
• Review, in accordance with the Project Specifications and local standards, and with the support of the Discipline Lead Managers, shop drawings related to the structure prepared by our Subcontractor’s Designers. The review of shop drawings shall cover constructability, comparison with the IFC Design, and the analysis of potential interfaces with other designers (e.g., temporary works designers).
• Prepare and distribute to all parties any redlines and IFC drawing markups arising from RFI, FCR, NDC, etc., on a regular basis. These redlines and markups will form part of the as‑built documentation required for the Record Drawings.
• Participate in the coordination and resolution of design‑related issues between different departments such as our Construction Team, Means and Methods Team, Quality Team, and other teams within the Design Team (Architecture, MEP, Traffic), addressing any potential conflicts in the most beneficial way for the project as a whole.
• Provide all necessary inputs to track the Designer’s cost (ESDC, Engineering Services During Construction), based on the Time and Material invoices received during construction.
• Regularly visit relevant construction sites as required.
• Attend meetings with our Client and their Technical Advisor as required.
• Perform other duties as applicable.
