About Canada Rocket Company Canada Rocket Company is developing Canada''s first medium-lift launch vehicle.

We are a team of veterans from SpaceX, Blue Origin, Rocket Lab,Ariane

Group, Pangea Propulsion, Tesla, MDA, and more, bringing over a century of combined launch and space systems experience back to Canada.

Our mission is to provide reliable, independent access to space for Canada and its allies in a rapidly expanding global market.

Our approach is defined by pragmatic engineering: Weutilizea single725kNengine that scales from light- to medium-lift via engine clustering.

We lean on easy, proven technologies to reach orbit faster, avoiding the pitfalls of complex or novel designs.

We test early and often, catching problems on the bench instead of at the pad.

Backed by over $20M in funding secured within our first four months, including the largest all-Canadian seed round in the sector and an $8.3M Department of National

Defencegrant, we are moving with the speed and institutional backing required to meet Canadas orbital launch needs.

About the role Canada Rocket Company is building the infrastructure that gets engines firing.

Werelooking for an Infrastructure Engineering Program Manager to own the technical baseline and integrated execution of CRCs test and launch infrastructure, from detailed design through construction and commissioning.

You are the engineering authority for the program.

You manage third-party design firms across multiple disciplines, hold the requirements and the integrated schedule, and make the technical calls that construction, procurement, and facilities execute against.

Itsa high-paced, high-autonomy position that sits at the intersection of engineering and program management, in an environment where the decisions you make this year show up in concrete and conduit next year.

At most companies, infrastructure is a support function.

Here,itsthe critical path.





How This Role Fits This role is part of CRCs infrastructure group, a small team built to take our test and launch sites from drawing to operation: engineering owns the technical baseline, supply chain sources it and controls the spend, construction builds it, and facilities runs it.

The team is deliberatelylean, so the boundaries below describe where accountability sits, not where your involvement stops.

What you''ll do Own the technical baseline: translate program requirements into engineering scope, specifications, and acceptance criteria, and run the change control that keeps design, procurement, and construction working off the same version of the truth.

Serve as the primary technical interface with third-party design firms; manage design scopes, deliverables, and cross-discipline integration, and hold them to scope, schedule, and quality.

Own the integrated program schedule and the budget baseline across design, procurement, and construction;identifythe critical path,sequencelong-lead decisions, andmaintainprogress and forecast reporting to leadership.

Write the technical specifications for major equipment andsystems, andlead technical evaluation of vendor bids alongside Supply Chain, who runs the commercial process and controls committed spend against your baseline.

Run design reviews and constructability reviews with the Construction Manager and

Facilities Manager, andadjudicateRFIs and design changes raised from the field.

Own commissioning: define commissioning plans, acceptance criteria, and functional test procedures across all systems,



and sign off on technical acceptance before turnover to Facilities.

Act as the integration point across the infrastructure group, and keep engineering, procurement, construction, and facilities aligned on one plan.

What Youre Not Responsible For High-level regulatory strategy, permitting, and compliance with governing bodies (Transport Canada,NRCan, MECP, etc.).

Launch licensing andrangesafety frameworks.

Day-to-day field execution, trade contractor supervision, and site safety owned by the Construction Manager.

Sourcing, purchase order issuance,expediting,logistics, and commitment tracking against the budget owned by Supply Chain.

Ongoing operation and maintenance of commissioned facilities owned by the Facilities Manager.

Qualifications Required Degree in engineering ora relatedtechnical discipline (or equivalent experience).5+ years in infrastructure, facilities, or industrial project delivery ideally in aerospace, energy, or heavy industrial.

Experience managing third-party engineering firms and holding them to scope, schedule, and quality.

Hands-on engineering background with experience reviewing drawings, specs, and design deliverables across multiple disciplines.

Demonstrated ownership of an integrated schedule and budget across concurrent workstreams.

Familiarity with procurement workflows and equipment commissioning.

Comfortable in a startup environment whereprocessis still being built.

Nice To Have P.

Engor eligibility in Ontario.

Experience with test stands, propulsion infrastructure, or hazardous fluid systems.

Familiarity with Ontario building and fire codes, and applicable Canadian standards.

Experience with DAQ systems, control architecture, or instrumentation.

Experience standing up engineering process requirements management, change control, or document control from scratch. PI5b9bb94dfdbc-30511-41396103
