- Collaborate across internal departments to deliver integrated, multi-discipline engineering solutions.
- Oversee project budgeting, scheduling, and staffing to ensure profitability and efficiency.
- Maintain and grow strong client relationships with municipalities, government agencies, and institutional clients.
- Monitor industry trends, building codes, and regulations to ensure compliance and innovation.

- 8+ years of progressive experience in structural design and project management.
- Proven leadership in managing teams and delivering successful infrastructure projects.
- Expertise in steel, concrete, masonry, and timber design across a range of facility types.
- Proficiency in structural analysis and design software (e.g., RISA, RAM, STAAD, Revit, AutoCAD).
- Strong communication skills and the ability to lead client meetings, presentations, and proposals.

- Leadership Opportunity: Step into a strategic leadership role with real influence over departmental direction and project vision.
- Strong Client Base: Work with loyal, long-term municipal and institutional clients that value collaboration and trust.
- Cross-Departmental Support: Enjoy seamless project integration with in-house civil, traffic, water, and GIS teams.
