D.M. Wills Associates Limited is looking for a Project Engineer to join our growing Land Development Engineering team and help bring exciting projects from concept to completion.

Land development is a collaborative, multi-disciplinary process, and successful projects require more than technical expertise. They depend on thoughtful engineering, proactive project coordination, clear communication and practical, solutions-oriented thinking. At Wills, our Land Development team brings together engineers, project managers, professional planners, biologists, hydrogeologists, contract administrators, surveyors and inspectors to understand the full picture of a project and how each piece connects. By working together across disciplines, we deliver integrated solutions that create greater value for our clients and the communities they serve.

As a Project Engineer, you’ll take a lead role on the technical engineering side of land development projects, working on a diverse range of assignments including residential subdivisions, commercial and industrial developments, site plans, municipal infrastructure and more.



You’ll be involved throughout the project lifecycle, from initial concepts and design through approvals, detailed engineering and construction.

While the focus of this position is engineering, you’ll also have the opportunity to take on project management responsibilities, including coordinating project teams, managing schedules and deliverables, communicating with clients and stakeholders, and helping keep projects moving forward. It’s an opportunity to grow your technical expertise while developing the broader project leadership skills needed to successfully deliver complex land development projects.

Working alongside a team-oriented team of professionals, you’ll help shape the communities of tomorrow, build meaningful client relationships and contribute to projects that have a lasting impact across Ontario.

Key Responsibilities

- Lead and contribute to the planning, design and delivery of land development projects, including residential subdivisions, commercial, industrial, institutional and mixed-use developments, from initial concept through approvals, detailed design and construction.
- Prepare and oversee the preparation of civil engineering designs and drawings, including site grading, site servicing, municipal infrastructure, roadways, sanitary and storm sewers, watermain, drainage, stormwater management and related infrastructure.




- Prepare and coordinate technical reports and studies, including Functional Servicing Reports, servicing strategies, design briefs, grading and drainage plans, and other supporting documentation required for land development approvals.
- Liaise with clients, municipalities, Conservation Authorities, regulatory agencies and other stakeholders to advance projects through the approvals process, respond to technical comments and resolve project issues.
- Coordinate with planners, surveyors, architects, environmental professionals, geotechnical consultants, contractors and other technical disciplines to ensure integrated and practical project solutions.
- Provide technical leadership and guidance to junior engineers, designers and technologists, including reviewing technical work and supporting their professional development.
- Support and participate in project management activities, including project scheduling, scope and deliverable coordination, budget tracking, resource planning, risk identification and client communication.
- Prepare and/or coordinate proposals, fee estimates, scopes of work and project schedules for land development services.
- Support the preparation of tender packages, construction specifications, cost estimates and contract documentation, and provide technical support during construction.
- Participate in construction administration and site inspections, including reviewing contractor submissions, responding to site issues and assisting with contract administration where required.
- Assist with the preparation and coordination of development agreements, municipal submissions and other
