Our client is a well-established manufacturing and engineering company based in Mississauga, and they are looking for a Lead Structural Engineer
Responsibilities
- Structural engineering. Own structural calculations and connection design across the product family, wide-flange steel members, sized per project load, span, and tilt, not off a fixed catalog spec. Prepare structural packages for review and final sign-off by the Structural Engineering Manager.
- Design review and mentorship. Review drafters' and designers' work for accuracy and constructability before it goes out.
- Customer-facing technical engagement. Work directly with customers and their engineers of record to understand site constraints (sloped terrain, clearance requirements, utility conflicts, foundation conditions) and propose feasible, buildable solutions
- RFI and field engineering support. Own the RFI process during construction for projects: field questions on foundation deviations, connection modifications, broken-fastener remediation, and site conditions that don't match the drawings. Escalate to the Structural Engineering Manager when a deviation falls outside established standards or precedent.
- Foundation and site coordination. Work alongside geotechnical engineers and foundation contractors to confirm soil bearing capacity, frost depth, and site-specific conditions are compatible with the structural design, including unusual sites (landfills, sloped terrain, brownfield).
- Installation support. Be the technical escalation point for install crews on projects, clarify ambiguous details, approve routine field fixes, and know when something needs to go up to the Structural Engineering Manager.
- Cross-functional collaboration. Partner with Sales on technical feasibility during quoting, and with SCM on constructability and fabrication tolerances.
Requirements
- Professional Engineer (PE/P.Eng.) license, structural discipline, or actively pursuing
- 7+ years structural engineering experience, with direct experience in steel building/structure erection, not purely desk-based design
- Demonstrated structural calculation experience on real built projects
- Project management experience, comfortable owning a technical workstream from design through construction close-out
- Strong written and verbal communication, RFI responses carry engineering liability, and you'll present design rationale to customers' engineers directly
- Comfortable collaborating closely with another senior engineer who holds final authority, this is a partnership-heavy role, not a solo-authority one
- Experience with EORs, structural review comments, and construction administration (RFIs, submittals, field changes)
