Structural Engineer​/Technologist

The Opportunity and Candidate Profile

We’re looking for a Structural Engineer / Technologist with a passion for creating and implementing design solutions and services, responsible for performing structural analysis and design of building components. Whether you’re established in the field or looking to make your mark on our industry, if you bring the right set of skills and a can‑do spirit, we want to hear from you.

G.L. Smith was founded in 1984 to offer modern, practical and striking interior design to retail clients. Today, we’re at the forefront of interior design and development, with roughly 100 full‑time employees … and growing!

Our roster of leading retailers spans a range of industries and includes some of Canada’s biggest, most recognizable brands.

Serving Canada’s retail industry for more than three decades, we provide customized, cost‑efficient interior design, engineering and expert project management capabilities.

If you thrive in a fast‑paced studio environment where you have the freedom to work independently but also the opportunity to collaborate with like‑minded professionals, then G.L. Smith might be right for you. Our office is an exciting place as we take projects from conception to completion. While we work hard to deliver top‑notch retail design solutions and services, you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing your work has a tangible impact on both our company and valued clients.

Your work will be interesting and challenging, plus you’ll enjoy a chance to develop your skills and grow in the company, and be supported within a caring culture that promotes a good work‑life balance.
