Field Engineer

Field Engineer Toronto, Ontario

Green Infrastructure Partners Inc. is seeking a high-caliber professional to lead the integration of design and field operations for complex Support-of-Excavation (SOE) and Sequential Excavation Method (SEM) projects. In this role, you will serve as the critical link between design intent and site execution within dense urban environments.

• Plan and sequence SEM rounds (drift headings, face support, shotcrete cycles).
• Coordinate SOE systems (soldier piles/lagging, secant/diaphragm walls, sheet piles, tiebacks/soil nails, struts/walers).
• Oversee excavation activities, temporary works, utility protections, and traffic staging.
• Monitor geotechnical instrumentation (extensometers, piezometers, inclinometers, load cells); interpret trends and exceedances.
• Support dewatering plans and groundwater management in accordance with permits and discharge limits.
• Lead ITPs, hold points, trials (e.g., shotcrete panels/cores), material approvals, and field quality records.
• Conduct face mapping, ground classification, and daily reports (advance, support installed, stand-up time, incidents).
• Technical Coordination Review drawings, models, and method statements; raise RFIs; coordinate shop drawings and temporary works designs.
• Interface with design teams (geotech/structural), survey, and subcontractors to resolve field clashes and constructability issues.
• Validate as-builts, survey control, and settlement/convergence control measures.
• Contribute to risk registers, trigger/action response plans, and mitigation during adverse ground conditions.

• Develop short-interval lookahead schedules; align crews, plant, and material logistics to milestones.
• Track production rates (advance per shift, shotcrete volumes, anchors installed)
• Support cost control/changes (quantity tracking, time-impact analysis).

• Enforce OHS requirements, confined space protocols, ventilation, gas testing, dust/noise management, and emergency response readiness.
• Lead/participate in JHAs, toolbox talks, and incident investigations.
• Ensure compliance with permits, environmental constraints, and municipal/rail/transit corridor requirements, as applicable.

• Education:
  
  B.Eng./B.Sc. in Engineering or related Discipline
• Experience:
  
  5-8 years in heavy civil/underground construction with direct exposure to shoring, deep excavation, and/or SEM.
• Credentials: P.Eng. (or eligible) preferred; EIT considered with strong field record.
• Work Authorization:
  Permanent Resident of Canada (or Canadian citizen).
• Training (assets):
  Working at Heights, Confined Space, WHMIS, First Aid; rail/transit safety certifications.
• Valid driver's license; ability to travel across project sites.
• Site-based role with shift work (nights/weekends) as required by excavation and tunneling sequences.
• Physically able to work in tunnel environments (confined spaces, variable temperatures, PPE).

• Proficient with AutoCAD / Civil 3D;
  Bluebeam; MS Project or Primavera P6 for short-interval planning.
• Familiarity with geotechnical design/analysis tools (e.g., Rocscience RS2/RS3 or Slide, PLAXIS, gINT) and instrumentation platforms.
• Experience with shotcrete QA/QC and SEM documentation (e.g., core tests, rebound, layer thickness control).
• Strong survey coordination, tolerance management, and as-built workflows

• Calm under pressure; decisive in the face of changing ground conditions and live-urban constraints.
• Strong communicator—able to align designers, supers, subs, and inspectors.
• Detail-oriented with a safety-first mindset and proactive risk management.

• Expected Base Salary: $75,000-$95,000 per year. The actual base salary will depend on several factors including experience,…
