• Prepare structural calculations, design checks, and supporting engineering documentation under supervision
• Develop engineering sketches and markups for drafting/design staff to produce structural models and design drawings
• Assist with material take-offs (MTOs), quantities, and work packages

Coordination & Team Collaboration

• Coordinate with process, piping, mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation disciplines to gather inputs and resolve interface items
• Participate in design reviews and incorporate feedback from senior engineers and other stakeholders
• Communicate effectively with internal teams and, as appropriate, clients and vendors

Project Execution & Delivery

• Support the delivery of civil/structural deliverables to meet scope, schedule, and quality requirements
• Assist with procurement support activities (e.g., reviewing vendor data, responding to technical queries)

Construction & Field Support

• Support responses to RFIs, field queries, and engineering clarifications during construction
• Participate in site visits/inspections as required, with guidance from senior staff

Safety, Quality & Compliance

• Follow engineering quality processes and support checking/verification practices
• Help ensure designs align with applicable codes, standards, and project specifications (e.g., CSA, CISC, NBC, provincial codes)
