Acuren Group is recruiting an Engineer in Training (EIT) to join our Structural Engineering team. Acuren is one of North America's largest providers of integrated inspection, testing, and engineering services, operating across 110+ locations and serving clients in the oil & gas, power, petrochemical, and building infrastructure sectors.
In this role, you will develop hands‐on expertise in structural integrity assessment, fitness‐for‐service evaluations, and field inspection programs — working directly with clients across industrial facilities, plant sites, and civil infrastructure. Under the mentorship of senior structural engineers, you will grow toward independent project leadership and, in time, the professional certification responsibilities that come with it.
Responsibilities
Field Inspection & Structural Programs
- Travel to client sites to lead and oversee structural inspection programs for industrial structures, buildings, platforms, and civil infrastructure
- Perform condition assessments of steel, concrete, and wood structures, identifying deficiencies and recommending remediation strategies
- Conduct and support lifting equipment inspections (cranes, hoists, rigging, and custom lifting fixtures) in accordance with ASME B30 and applicable provincial standards; progress toward signing off on lifting equipment inspection certifications
- Operate in industrial environments including refineries, chemical plants, and power generation facilities; field travel is expected up to 50% of the time depending on client scheduling
Engineering Analysis & Assessment
- Support fitness-for-service (FFS) assessments for structural systems and mechanical equipment — including storage tanks, pressure vessels,
and pipelines — in accordance with API 579-1/ASME FFS-1 and related standards
- Develop and apply finite element analysis (FEA) models to evaluate structural integrity under various loading conditions (pressure, gravity, thermal, displacement)
- Assist with structural analysis and design for rehabilitation, repair, and load‐upgrade projects
- Integrate field inspection data (LiDAR scans, UT thickness, NDT results) into engineering models to support accurate, defensible assessments
Project & Client Delivery
- Act as site lead on structural inspection projects, managing field activities, client communication, and timely report delivery
- Prepare professional engineering reports documenting findings, analysis, and recommendations
- Proactively understand client requirements and identify opportunities for additional Acuren services
- Follow up with clients on implementation of recommendations and support ongoing inspection program planning
- Manage work within budget and schedule, ensuring efficient use of resources
Requirements
- University degree in Civil or Structural Engineering; Mechanical Engineering considered with relevant structural coursework
- Membership in, or eligibility for, the applicable provincial engineering association (P.Eng. in progress); registration as an EIT required
- Genuine interest in structural integrity and inspection work; prior co‐op or project experience in structural analysis, industrial inspection, or a related field is an asset
- Familiarity with structural engineering standards (e.g., NBCC, CSA S16, ACI 318) and exposure to pressure equipment or mechanical standards (API, ASME) is a plus
- Proficiency in structural analysis software and/or FEA tools is an asset
- Robust written and verbal communication skills; ability to produce transparent, client‐ready technical reports
- Ability to work effectively in industrial environments and comply with site safety requirements
- Understanding of, and commitment to, applicable provincial Occupational Health and Safety legislation, ISO systems, and Acuren's Safety and Quality Management Systems
- Proficiency in MS Office; valid Class 5 driver's licence with a clean driving record required
