We are a professional engineering firm licensed to practise in five provinces - Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia - doing structural, storage rack and building envelope work for industrial and commercial clients. Field work is GTA and southern Ontario; design work spans all five.

WHY THIS ONE IS DIFFERENT

Most EIT jobs put you in a corner of a large office, on a corner of a large project, for two years. This is the opposite.

- On site from your first month. What you measure is what gets calculated, and what gets calculated is what gets sealed.
- Whole projects, not fragments: field capture, calculation, drawing, report, issue.
- Mentored directly by the P.Eng. who signs your experience record - a Ph.D., P.Eng. who also teaches at McMaster University.

If you want to be one of forty EITs, this is the wrong posting.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

Roughly half field, half design.
- Storage rack inspections to CSA A344, and Pre-Start Health and Safety Review field capture under O. Reg. 851.
- Construction-stage general review - slab pours, steel erection, cladding - observed against the sealed drawings.
- Structural calculations to CSA S16, S136, A23.3 and O86, to the NBC and whichever provincial code edition governs - we seal in five provinces, so that is a question you ask, not one you assume.
- Rack capacity checks, reports, drawings, and shop drawing review.

WHAT WE NEED

- B.Eng. or B.A.Sc.



in Civil or Structural Engineering (CEAB-accredited, or a PEO-assessed equivalent).
- Eligible to enrol in PEO's Engineering Intern program. We pay the fee.
- 0-4 years of experience. New graduates genuinely encouraged.
- Valid Ontario Class G licence and reliable access to a vehicle. Site travel is core to this job, not an occasional favour. If you will not drive to a warehouse in Brantford in February, this role will make you unhappy.
- AutoCAD, Excel, Word, and transparent technical writing in English. Field notes are legal documents.

NICE TO HAVE

Storage rack, warehouse, industrial or building envelope exposure. Robot Structural Analysis, SAP2000 or RISA. Bluebeam. CSA A344, ANSI MH16.1 or ACI 360R.

WHAT WE PROVIDE

- PEO Engineering Intern fees paid, and structured support toward your P.Eng.
- Mileage at the CRA rate. Hybrid working. Formal reviews at six and twelve months.

TO APPLY

Apply through LinkedIn with your resume. A short note on why this role rather than a large firm beats a cover letter template.
