Help define construction methods, work sequences, and execution plans for civil and marine works activities.
Prepare construction documents: scopes of work, method statements, risk assessments, procedures, and plans.
Support the review and assessment of subcontractor proposals, technical submissions, and execution strategies.
Support budget development and construction planning including mobilization plans.
Coordinate daily with engineering, procurement, project controls, quality, and HSE teams.
Prepare progress reports and presentations for internal and external stakeholders.
During execution phase (from 2027), act as a field engineer and/or subcontractor coordinator, supporting and monitoring daily site activities.
Your skills:
Degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, Marine Engineering, or related discipline.
At least 5 years of experience as Construction Engineer in heavy civil works (precast and/or in‑situ), marine works (dredging, port construction or offshore operation involving floating equipment), or other large-scale infrastructure projects.
Proficiency with AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Microsoft Office, or similar.
Excellent communication and teamwork skills, with the ability to work in multidisciplinary and multicultural project environments.
A proactive, field‑oriented mindset with strong problem‑solving capabilities.

The construction of the subway line south in Toronto, involving a six-kilometer tunnel and associated excavation work. The project includes the design, construction, and handover of all tunnels (twin tubes of 6 km each), 7 stations (turnkey for: 1 at-grade station and 6 underground stations) and civil engineering works.
Extension of the Confederation Line in Ottawa, one of the components of Phase 2 of the city's O-Train system, which includes the design, construction, and financing of 27.5 km of light rail infrastructure. The work also includes 4 kilometers of cut-and-cover tunnels, 20 engineering structures, 16 stations and a light maintenance facility.
The Pickering Nuclear Generating Station refurbishment program includes the design and construction of a new deep water intake in Lake Ontario to improve the plant's cooling system. This project will include a 1.5 km long tunnel, excavated by a pressurized tunnel boring machine (10.15 m diameter slurry), two vertical shafts (onshore and offshore), and a modular offshore intake structure, resting on the lakebed. This project is notable for its proximity to an active nuclear site, requiring rigorous standards of safety, planning, and coordination.
