Project Engineer – Mechanical / Process Industries

Location: Guelph, Ontario | On-Premise

About Element6 Solutions

Element6 Solutions is a multidisciplinary engineering and project services firm serving the process industries across Canada and the United States. We support clients across the full lifecycle of their industrial assets, from early project definition and engineering through procurement, construction, commissioning, reliability improvement, and asset management.

Our work includes capital projects, brownfield modifications, equipment and piping upgrades, reliability initiatives, maintenance engineering, and asset management support. We work closely with plant teams to develop practical solutions that improve safety, reliability, maintainability, operability, and long-term asset performance.

Our approach is hands-on, practical, and client-focused. We work on challenging industrial projects where strong engineering fundamentals need to be combined with sound judgment, creativity, and an understanding of how facilities are actually built, operated, maintained, and improved.

We are a growing team where experienced engineers have the opportunity to take real ownership of their work, interact directly with clients, and make a meaningful impact on both projects and operating assets.

The Chance

Element6 Solutions is looking for an experienced Project Engineer to join our team in Guelph, Ontario.

This is an on-premise position for a hands-on mechanical engineer who is comfortable working directly with clients, leading multidisciplinary engineering activities, supporting reliability and asset management initiatives, and getting into the technical details when required.

We’re looking for someone with approximately 8–10 years of experience in industrial engineering and project execution who can take a project from an initial client discussion through scope definition, design, procurement, construction, field execution, and operational support.

What You’ll Do

Work directly with clients to understand their needs, establish project scope, and develop practical, code-compliant engineering solutions.

Lead and coordinate multidisciplinary design activities across the engineering office.

Coordinate engineering, procurement, fabrication, construction, and field activities.

Act as a key technical interface between clients, vendors, contractors, designers, operations, maintenance, and field personnel.

Develop, review, and mark up P&IDs; and translate process requirements into executable mechanical designs.

Prepare and review mechanical equipment specifications, datasheets, requisitions,



and technical bid evaluations.

Provide technical leadership for piping systems, equipment layouts, tie-ins, pressure equipment, and mechanical installations.

Perform and/or review pipe stress analysis, including piping flexibility, support requirements, equipment loads, and code compliance.

Apply applicable ASME codes and standards to the design and modification of piping and mechanical systems.

Support projects requiring interaction with TSSA, including pressure piping and pressure equipment requirements, registrations, inspections, and documentation.

Apply relevant Ontario Building Code and Ontario Fire Code requirements to industrial projects and coordinate code requirements with other engineering disciplines.

Support equipment reliability, maintenance improvement, and asset management initiatives.

Assist with root cause investigations, equipment performance issues, failure analysis, and development of practical corrective actions.

Support lifecycle planning, equipment replacement strategies, maintainability improvements, and asset performance initiatives.

Review vendor drawings, calculations, specifications, and other technical documentation.

Support estimating, scheduling, procurement, construction planning, commissioning, and project closeout.

Perform site visits, field verification, troubleshooting, and construction support.

Identify technical and project risks early and work with the project team and client to resolve them.

Take ownership of assigned projects and deliverables and drive them through to completion.

What We’re Looking For

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering.

Licensed Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) in the Province of Ontario.

Approximately 8–10 years of relevant engineering and project experience.

Strong experience in process industries, such as chemical, mining, minerals processing, nuclear, energy, manufacturing, or other industrial facilities.

Expert-level working knowledge of P&IDs;, mechanical equipment specifications, and industrial piping systems.

Strong knowledge of pipe stress analysis and piping design.

Working knowledge of applicable ASME codes and standards, including pressure piping and pressure equipment requirements.





Good understanding of the Ontario Building Code, Ontario Fire Code, and TSSA requirements as they apply to industrial facilities.

Experience with reliability engineering, maintenance engineering, or asset management in an operating industrial environment.

Understanding of equipment lifecycle, maintainability, failure modes, and practical reliability improvement.

Experience coordinating multidisciplinary engineering and field execution.

Excellent written and oral communication skills.

Strong client-facing skills with the ability to turn loosely defined requirements into a clear, executable scope of work.

Strong initiative and problem-solving skills, with the ability to identify issues, develop practical solutions, and move work forward independently.

Ability to recognize when specialist input is required and effectively coordinate other engineering disciplines and technical experts.

Comfortable leading engineers, designers, vendors, and contractors while remaining willing to roll up your sleeves and get into the details yourself.

Practical, field-oriented approach to engineering and problem solving.

- Willing and able to work on-premise in our Guelph office and travel to client and project sites as required.

The Person We’re Looking For

This role is best suited to someone who enjoys the space between engineering, reliability, asset management, and project execution. You should be equally comfortable sitting with a client to define a scope, reviewing a P&ID; with the design team, working through an ASME piping issue, investigating an equipment reliability problem, coordinating code requirements, and putting on your boots to resolve a problem in the field.

We value initiative, ownership, reliability thinking, and strong problem-solving skills. We’re looking for someone who sees what needs to be done and takes action—someone who can work through ambiguity, identify practical solutions, and keep a project or asset improvement initiative moving without needing to be directed at every step.

The successful candidate will communicate clearly, exercise sound engineering judgment, and be comfortable making decisions and taking responsibility for their work. You’ll be expected to lead when leadership is needed, collaborate when others have the right expertise, and roll up your sleeves and get into the details when that’s what it takes to solve the problem.

At Element6 Solutions, we value engineers who are practical, resourceful, accountable, reliability-minded, and focused on getting things done well.
