- Assess elevated walkways, ladders, and platforms against specific client and regulatory standards.
- Verify load paths, corrosion, concrete degradation, deformation, weld conditions, and anchorage integrity during site inspections.
- Analyze field findings to assign severity classifications in alignment with structural priority systems.




- Create comprehensive field inspection reports using approved templates and capture precise deficiency data via annotated redline drawings and high‑resolution photos.
- Immediately elevate any imminent risk conditions to the client and internal project managers.

Engineering Response & Remediation

- Prepare detailed structural response actions, repair plans, and engineering assessments based on inspection findings for both heavy industrial and water‑retaining structures.
- Provide engineering solutions to extend the lifespan of existing facilities, including troubleshooting structural deterioration and implementing ground‑improvement coordination.
- Write clear, comprehensive construction specifications for structural remediation and brownfield integration.

Project Delivery

- Lead and manage structural engineering tasks across all project phases, from initial scoping and feasibility studies to detailed design, procurement, and commissioning.
- Ensure projects are delivered on time, within budget, and in compliance with client and regulatory requirements.
- Conduct site visits to assess existing systems, gather data, and provide hands‑on support during project execution in underground and surface environments.
- Supervise, mentor,



and review the technical work of junior engineers and EITs supporting field data collection.

Client and Stakeholder Collaboration

- Work closely with clients to understand their operational needs and develop tailored engineering solutions for mining and industrial operations.
- Collaborate with internal teams, including mechanical, electrical, and civil engineers, to ensure seamless project integration.

Business Development

- Foster and maintain strong relationships with clients, serving as a trusted advisor for their structural needs.

Compliance and Safety

- Ensure all condition assessments and document retention practices meet the minimum expectations of EGBC or other provincial regulatory bodies.
- Conduct risk assessments and implement safety measures in all project phases, focusing on the unique challenges of various mining environments, such as hazardous areas, gas monitoring, and emergency egress systems.

Innovation and Continuous Improvement

- Stay updated with the latest technologies, trends, and best practices in structural engineering and underground mining operations.
- Drive innovation by identifying and implementing current tools, methods, or approaches to improve project outcomes.

Qualifications

Minimum Requirements

- Bachelor’s degree in civil or structural engineering (or equivalent).
- 6+ years of structural engineering experience, with a heavy emphasis on asset management, structural condition assessments, and brownfield remediation.
- Demonstrated physical ability and willingness to perform hands‑on field inspections in challenging environments, ranging from remote underground mines
