Engineer Scientist Civil Structural

Description

• Conduct condition and performance assessments of existing civil structures and develop recommendations for repair, reinforcement, or upgrade.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to ensure integration of civil, structural, mechanical, and electrical design within modular or conventional construction frameworks.
• Lead and support Nuclear Facilities Design activities, including preparation of building layouts, architectural interfaces, and facility upgrade designs aligned with operational, safety, and regulatory standards.
• Mentor and provide technical oversight to junior engineers and designers.
• Perform civil/structural analysis and design for new and existing nuclear facilities, including foundations, framing systems, and reinforced concrete and steel structures.
• Provide Construction System Design services, offering engineering support for construction means and methods, including temporary works, scaffolding, shoring, rigging, and lifting systems to ensure safe and efficient field execution.
• Support and develop modular construction strategies, including module interface definition, transport and lifting design, sequencing, and onsite assembly planning to optimize constructability and minimize schedule risks.
• Apply knowledge of construction methods, modular fabrication, and digital construction technologies to enhance quality, safety, and efficiency in project delivery.
• Provide field engineering support, including on-site verification, design clarifications, and review of contractor submittals and change requests.
• Conduct Constructability Reviews during early design stages to assess feasibility, evaluate modularization opportunities, and optimize construction sequencing and access.
• Provide Engineering Request (ER) Support, delivering timely and practical field engineering solutions to emergent site issues, ensuring compliance with applicable codes, standards, and safety requirements.
• Interface with construction, procurement, and utility partners throughout the project lifecycle—from conceptual design through detailed engineering, construction, modular assembly, and project closeout.

Requirements

• Excellent technical communication and documentation abilities.
• Stay current with advancements in construction engineering, modular design methodologies, digital twin applications, and advanced construction technologies.
• Proficiency in structural analysis and modeling software (STAAD.Pro, SAP2000, MathCAD) and CAD/BIM tools (AutoCAD, Navisworks, SmartPlant). Experience with 3D modeling and digital field coordination tools is an asset.
• Strong interpersonal and collaboration skills across design, construction, and field teams.
• Knowledge of civil/structural codes and standards such as CSA N287, N289, N291, NBCC, OBC, A23.3, and S16, and understanding of nuclear QA standards (CSA N286).
• Expertise in one or more areas such as facility design, structural analysis of steel and concrete systems, temporary works, lifting/rigging design, seismic design, or modular construction engineering.
• Strong understanding of constructability principles and construction engineering practices, with experience conducting field reviews and troubleshooting.
• Proactive problem-solving and decision-making in fast-paced project environments.
• Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) designation or eligibility for registration in Ontario or New Brunswick.
• Bachelor’s degree in Civil or Structural Engineering (Master’s degree considered an asset).
• Experience with Engineering Change Control (ECC) and documentation processes within nuclear or regulated environments.
• Excellent communication, teamwork, and project coordination skills with the ability to interface effectively with clients and field teams.
• Demonstrated experience with modular construction and prefabrication methods, including interface management and module installation planning.
• Strong problem-solving and organizational abilities with a focus on safety, constructability, and quality.
• Ability to manage multiple concurrent tasks and deliver high-quality engineering outputs under tight deadlines.
• 5 years of relevant experience in civil/structural design and construction engineering support for industrial, utility, or nuclear projects.
