Job Description

📍 LOCATION

London, Ontario (Surrounding Area) | On-Site

💰 COMPENSATION

$120,000 – $150,000 + Bonus

We are working with a specialized engineering and manufacturing company delivering structural steel solutions across Canada.

This is a leadership role with real authority.

You will act as Engineer of Record, lead the engineering function, and partner directly with executive leadership to shape technical direction, team performance, and project delivery.

This is not a middle-management role.
This is ownership of the engineering function.

🏗️ THE ROLE

This is a dual mandate position combining:

  • Technical leadership (P.Eng / EOR responsibility)

  • Team leadership and operational influence

You will lead design standards, review and seal work, mentor engineers, and ensure engineering output aligns with commercial and operational goals.

🔧 KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Engineering Leadership & Professional Practice

  • Act as Engineer of Record across structural steel projects

  • Review and seal drawings, calculations, and technical documentation

  • Ensure compliance with Canadian design codes and standards

  • Establish and improve engineering processes, standards, and workflows

  • Provide final technical direction on complex or non-standard designs

Team Leadership & Development

  • Lead, mentor, and develop engineers, EITs, and designers

  • Drive performance, accountability, and professional growth

  • Support hiring, succession planning, and team structure

  • Foster a strong engineering culture focused on quality and collaboration

Project & Business Integration

  • Partner with Sales on feasibility, estimating, and value engineering

  • Support project delivery from concept through execution

  • Work cross-functionally with Operations and Production to improve efficiency

  • Provide technical support to clients, consultants, and stakeholders

Innovation & Strategy

  • Lead product and design innovation initiatives

  • Evaluate new materials, systems, and structural approaches

  • Monitor industry trends and competitor activity

  • Contribute to long-term engineering and business strategy

🎯 WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

  • Licensed Professional Engineer (P.Eng) in Ontario (or eligible)

  • Experience acting as Engineer of Record and sealing structural work

  • 8+ years in structural, bridges or civil engineering

  • Background in steel structures, bridges, or related systems

  • Proven leadership experience managing engineering teams

  • Strong understanding of Canadian design codes and standards

⚙️ TECHNICAL ENVIRONMENT

  • Structural design tools (RISA, Midas, IdeaStatica or similar)

  • CAD tools (AutoCAD, SolidWorks)

  • Project-based engineering environment

💥 WHY THIS ROLE STANDS OUT

  • Direct reporting line to executive leadership

  • Full ownership of engineering function

  • Influence over both technical and business decisions

  • Opportunity to build and shape a team

  • Stable, specialized company with national reach

  • High-impact role with visible outcomes

🧲 IDEAL BACKGROUNDS

  • Structural Engineers ready to step into leadership

  • Engineering Managers in steel / infrastructure / fabrication

  • Senior Engineers acting as informal team leads looking for authority

  • Candidates from bridge, steel, or heavy structural environments
