Municipal, Provincial and Federal Clients
Up to $140 K base salary
This one is for a P. Eng. who enjoys the design side of municipal work and wants to stay close to it, rather than drifting into pure management.
My client is a civil consultancy in Eastern Ontario where the offices work as one team rather than separate silos, so you’d regularly collaborate with colleagues across locations. Municipal work is a big part of what they do. In Ottawa alone, roughly half the staff work on it, serving the City of Ottawa and a long list of surrounding municipalities. On top of that, there’s a good mix of provincial and federal projects for clients such as DCC/DND, Public Works, and Infrastructure Ontario.
They want someone senior enough to run projects on their own and guide the junior engineers, but who is still happy getting stuck in when required. You’d work out of whichever of the three offices is closest to home on a hybrid basis.
