Role

Description

data collection

field instrumentation

coastal design

technical mentoring

calculations

design drawings

Defining metocean in-situ data collection campaigns based on project scope requirements. Hands-on field and instrumentation experience is an asset.
Studying, defining and providing coastal engineering related design basis inputs to structural basis of design for the domains of marine and port structural engineering.
Provide technical mentorship to graduate and junior level engineers
Performing engineering calculations, and preparing design drawings
Collaborate on exciting projects to develop innovative solutions

Requirements

15+ years

coastal engineering

mooring

swan

delft3d

beng/meng

Minimum 15 years of experience in engineering and design of coastal structures
Professional affiliation (e.g., engineering, geoscientist or equivalent)
Mooring analysis based on static and dynamic numerical models.
Numerical models (e.g., SWAN, Delft3D, DHI Mike models, AQUA, Optimoor)
Understanding of the overall port development and planning phases and aspects, including navigation, and weather dependent downtime.
Hydrodynamic (waves, tides, and flow) and sediment transport numerical modeling. Tsunami modeling is an asset.
B.Sc., B.Eng., M.Sc., or M.Eng. degree in Civil, Coastal or Ocean Engineering and Ocean Science
Coastal protection design based on hard engineering (breakwater, groins, revetment), and alternative soft engineering solutions (beach nourishment or habitat creation). Experience with physical modelling, design implementation and construction methodologies is an asset.
Proficient in oral communication and reporting skills in English. Additional languages (especially French and Spanish) are an asset
Sound knowledge on data processing of vast environmental data sets, including but not limited to, hindcast data, measured data, statistical analysis methods, etc.

Company

Overview

Founded in 1955

Year of Establishment

The company was established in 1955, marking the beginning of its engineering journey.

70+ Offices

Global Presence

Operates with over 70 offices, supporting projects worldwide.

Began as a small civil-engineering firm and expanded into metallurgy under its namesake leader.
Now employee-owned and independent, it has grown through strategic acquisitions of engineering firms across North America and beyond.
Offers end-to-end services—from concept and feasibility through design, construction management, and operations—in key sectors.
Projects include heavy industrial and mining operations, hydropower tunnels, green-steel plants, and rail & transit infrastructure.
Specialises in multidisciplinary engineering disciplines including structural, mechanical, civil, piping, electrical, and process design.
Known for integrating advanced tools like 3D parametric design, simulation, CFD, and proprietary Hatch software in project delivery.
Milestones include delivering North America’s Niagara Tunnel Project and pioneering high-current AP60 aluminium smelting pots.
Combines local insight with global expertise to support projects in over 150 countries.
