• Be supported by NDY’s national and global platform while retaining local market ownership
• Play a hands‑on role in early‑stage growth, balancing delivery, business development, and relationship building
• Lead mechanical design and documentation from concept through to detailed design and construction
• Act as Project Leader, coordinating multidisciplinary teams and ensuring quality, programme and methodology compliance
• Review technical submissions, support construction delivery, and mentor junior engineers
• Serve as NDY’s Toronto market lead, driving the firm’s strategic expansion in the region
• Develop and nurture local client and industry relationships and identify new business opportunities
• Track market pipeline, performance and local conditions to inform growth strategy
• Represent NDY at client meetings, presentations and industry events
• Build and ultimately lead a high‑performing Toronto‑based engineering team and establish a physical office
• Commence in a fully remote capacity, with a long‑term mandate to grow NDY’s Toronto presence
