- Perform civil calculations, design checks, drawings review, and technical reports under limited supervision
- Develop and review engineering sketches and markups for drafting staff to prepare 3D models and design drawings
- Prepare material take-offs, quantities, and work packages; support procurement and construction activities with technical inputs
Coordination & Collaboration
- Coordinate with process, piping, mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation disciplines to gather inputs and resolve interface items
- Participate in design reviews, incorporate feedback from senior engineers and stakeholders, and communicate effectively with internal teams and clients
Project Execution & Delivery
- Support the delivery of civil deliverables to meet scope, schedule, and quality requirements
- Provide bid/proposal input, vendor data reviews, and technical clarifications during procurement
- Contribute to risk assessments, constructability reviews, and design optimization efforts
Construction & Field Support
- Provide engineering support during construction, respond to field queries, and help resolve technical challenges
- Participate in site visits/inspections as required and ensure designs remain practical and buildable
Safety, Quality & Compliance
- Adhere to safety, environmental, and quality requirements throughout the project lifecycle
- Support adherence to applicable codes and standards (e.g., CSA, CISC, NBC, provincial codes)
