Position Overview

BMAC Technologies and Consulting Inc. is seeking an Intermediate Building Science Engineer / EIT – New Construction to join our growing Building Science team.

The successful candidate will work primarily on new construction building-envelope projects, supporting projects from design and drawing review through construction, field review, testing, deficiency resolution, and project closeout.

This role is intended for an engineer or EIT with strong building-envelope fundamentals who is ready to take increasing ownership of projects, communicate directly with clients and project teams, and develop toward an independent Project Manager role.

The position will work closely with BMAC’s senior Building Science staff and New Construction team lead.

- window and curtain-wall testing,
- adhesion testing,
- moisture investigations, and
- other field verification activities.

- Track project budgets, deliverables, and deadlines.
- Communicate directly with clients, architects, contractors, developers, and other consultants.

Required Qualifications

- Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Building Engineering, Architectural Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
- Registered as an EIT with Engineers and Geoscientists BC, or eligible for registration.
- Approximately 3–5+ years of relevant building-science or building-envelope consulting experience.
- Experience working on new construction projects in British Columbia is strongly preferred.
- Practical understanding of:
- rainscreen wall assemblies,
- waterproofing,
- roofing,
- windows and curtain wall,
- air barriers,
- vapour control,

- Experience with Bluebeam, AutoCAD, Revit, or similar design/review software.
- Experience with airtightness and water-penetration testing.
- Experience reviewing shop drawings, RFIs, submittals, and construction deficiencies.
- Experience independently managing smaller building-envelope projects.
- Progress toward P.Eng. registration.

Ideal Candidate

We are looking for someone who:

- takes ownership of their projects;
- communicates confidently with clients and contractors;
- understands how envelope details actually get built in the field;
- can identify problems before they become expensive construction issues;
- is comfortable making practical technical recommendations;
- works well with junior staff and senior engineers;
- wants to progress toward a Project Manager and ultimately senior leadership role within BMAC.
