Intermediate/Senior Railway Project Engineer, P.Eng.

Intermediate/Senior Structural Engineer, P.Eng.

Growth-Focused Railway & Infrastructure Role

Ironwood Infrastructure Inc. – Ontario

Ironwood Infrastructure is a specialized railway engineering firm focused on complex railway joint infrastructure projects such as bridges and grade crossings, with expertise in regulatory compliance, and owner’s engineer projects.

We are growing — and we are doing it intentionally.

We are seeking a licensed Engineer (P.Eng.) who understands railway environments and is more than a technical expert — ideally with experience working with or for Class 1 railways (freight) — and who wants to help build something meaningful, not just fill a seat.

This is not a 9–5 desk role.

This is a leadership-track opportunity.

What You’ll Do

• Lead design and review for:
• Bridge rehabilitations
• Grade separations
• Rail-adjacent infrastructure
• Temporary works within railway corridors
• Interface directly with railway stakeholders (freight and passenger)
• Review drawings for compliance with railway standards and constructability constraints
• Provide QA/QC oversight on technical deliverables
• Support proposals and contribute to winning new work
• Attend client meetings and industry events when needed
• Mentor junior staff and elevate technical standards internally
• Step in to lead projects independently when required

What We’re Looking For

Required

• Licensed P.Eng. in Ontario with ability to license in other provinces.
• 8+ years of design experience
• Experience working in active railway operations
• Strong understanding of railway bridge and crossing agreements and standards
• Ability to independently review third party designs
• Ability to independently undertake reviews on site and complete reports

Preferred

• Direct experience with freight operators in Canada
• Experience in owner’s engineer roles
• Comfort with business development and client interaction

Who You Are

• Entrepreneurial mindset
• Comfortable with responsibility
• Practical and solutions-oriented
• Clear communicator
• Accountability
• Interested in growth — both personal and organizational with a willingness to mentor and train others

You understand that engineering excellence and commercial awareness go hand-in-hand.

Compensation & Growth

We offer

• Competitive but growth-stage salary
• Clear pathway toward senior leadership
• Opportunity to shape the technical direction of a growing firm

This role is ideal for someone who

• Has strong railway experience
• Wants more autonomy
• Is ready to help build and lead — not just execute
