The Opportunity:

We are seeking a motivated engineering graduate who is actively pursuing their P.Eng. license with Professional Engineers Ontario (PEO). This is a role for someone who wants to gain engineering experience in a hands-on environment and grow into a future leader in the field.

- You will report directly to the Principal Engineer and benefit from regular mentorship and shadowing.
- You will have access to training, with dedicated professional development time each year. • You will gain broad experience across municipal infrastructure projects, including independent field work, office duties, design, technical analysis, business development, and customer service.
- You will mentor and supervise our engineering co-op students, building supervision and leadership experience early in your career.

This position includes client-facing work, technical delivery, and quick turnaround times with high-quality expectations. We are looking for someone who enjoys construction, is energized by learning, and has strong communication and customer service skills. Salary Range: $30/hr to $40/hr plus performance bonus eligibility (40+ hour work week)

Work Environment & Expectations:

This is a hybrid role based out of our St.



Catharines office. Your week will mix field work, office collaboration, and home-based work, with field and client commitments taking priority when scheduling.

The work is physical at times. Expect active construction sites, uneven ground and dense vegetation, extended periods of driving, and the occasional sewer manhole lid that needs lifting.

This is a demanding role. You will be expected to take initiative, learn from critical feedback, manage competing priorities, maintain high standards under time pressure, and deliver excellent customer service.

What We Offer:

Reg. 285/01, we voluntarily pay overtime at 1.5× the regular rate after 44 hours per week. Peak construction seasons will involve extended hours, and we are committed to recognizing that effort.
- Time Off Policy: 80 hours annual vacation, 40 hours annual sick/flex time, and 40 hours annual professional development & community involvement time.
- Benefits: RRSP contribution matching, PEO dues reimbursement, company laptop, and business mobile phone.
- Performance Bonus: Eligible for annual bonuses tied to individual performance and company results.
