Compensation: Competitive base salary + package + stock options Imagine joining a launch company at the point where the drawings are about to become concrete, steel, pipework and ultimately a place where rocket engines will fire. This is not an established aerospace business maintaining infrastructure that already exists. The company is building Canada’s first medium-lift launch vehicle and much of the infrastructure needed to test, develop and launch it still needs to be created. The team behind it includes veterans of some of the world’s most successful launch, aerospace and engineering organisations, bringing more than a century of combined launch and space systems experience to the programme. The engineering philosophy is deliberately pragmatic. Hardware will be tested early and often, finding problems on the test stand rather than discovering them at the launch pad. More than $20M was secured within its first four months, including the largest all-Canadian seed round in the sector and an $8.3M Department of National Defence grant. We’re looking for an Infrastructure Engineering Program Manager who can help turn that ambition into something physical. Test facilities. Control systems. Concrete. You’ll take ownership of the technical baseline and integrated execution of the company's test and launch infrastructure, from detailed design through construction and commissioning. The engineering decisions you make today will determine what gets built tomorrow and ultimately whether engines can be tested and vehicles can be launched. You’ll act as the engineering authority for the programme, sitting at the intersection of engineering, procurement, construction and facilities.



You'll manage third-party engineering firms across multiple disciplines, own requirements and the integrated schedule, establish the technical baseline and make the engineering decisions that construction and procurement execute against. You’ll translate programme requirements into engineering scopes, specifications and acceptance criteria, while establishing the change-control processes that keep engineering, procurement and construction working from the same technical baseline. Third-party engineering firms will look to you as their primary technical interface. You'll manage their scopes and deliverables, integrate work across disciplines and hold partners accountable for schedule, quality and technical performance. When major equipment and systems need to be purchased, you'll develop the technical specifications and work alongside Supply Chain to evaluate potential vendors. As designs move towards reality, you'll run design and constructability reviews alongside Construction and Facilities, resolving RFIs and engineering changes as issues emerge in the field. You'll own the technical side of commissioning, defining commissioning plans, acceptance criteria and functional testing before signing off the systems for handover into operational use. Ultimately, you'll be the person keeping engineering, procurement,



construction and facilities aligned around one technical plan. Engineering owns the technical baseline. Supply Chain sources the equipment and manages commercial commitments. Facilities takes ownership once those systems become operational. You'll likely have at least five years' experience delivering infrastructure, facilities or complex industrial projects within environments such as aerospace, energy, advanced manufacturing or heavy industry. You’ll have a strong engineering foundation and be comfortable reviewing drawings, specifications and multidisciplinary design packages rather than simply managing a programme from a spreadsheet. Experience managing external engineering firms is key, as is the ability to hold suppliers and partners accountable for scope, schedule and quality. You’ll understand integrated schedules and budgets, procurement workflows and equipment commissioning. Experience with test stands, propulsion infrastructure or hazardous fluid systems would be particularly valuable, as would exposure to instrumentation, DAQ or control architecture. Eng status or eligibility in Ontario would also be advantageous, alongside knowledge of relevant Ontario building and fire codes and Canadian standards. There aren't many opportunities where an infrastructure engineer can point to a facility several years from now and say: "I helped build that from the ground up." There are even fewer where the facility you've helped create exists to test rocket engines and support a national orbital launch capability. The company already has the funding, engineering pedigree and launch ambition.
