R+A Engineering is looking for an intermediate structural engineer to join our Vernon team. This is a role for someone three to five years into their career who wants real project responsibility, working directly with our principals and a strong team of EITs and technologists.
ABOUT THE ROLE
You would work across our full range of building structural projects: multi-family and mixed-use housing, custom homes, commercial, and institutional work across western Canada. Depending on your experience, you would take on structural design, analysis, drawing production and detailing, and construction administration, with increasing ownership as you grow.
You would be supported, not thrown in the deep end. You would have principals and senior engineers close at hand for mentorship and review, and you would be given work that challenges you at a pace you can handle.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
· A degree in engineering with 3-6 years of structural experience
· Registration as an E.I.T. or P.Eng. with EGBC
· A solid working knowledge of the BCBC, including wood construction and seismic design
· A strong working knowledge of the BCBC
· Multi-family residential experience is an asset, but not required.
· A practical approach to design and an understanding of how buildings are actually built
· Strong written and verbal communication
· Experience with Sizer/Forte, SAFE, ETABS, RFEM, and Revit is an asset
WHAT R+A OFFERS
We are a small firm, which means you would take on real responsibility early, and you would have direct access to the principals for guidance and support. We have invested in good systems and clear workflows, so your time can actually go to engineering. The variety of our work, from housing to custom homes to institutional projects, means you would build a broad foundation rather than getting boxed into one project type.
LOCATION
This role is based in our Vernon office, with a hybrid schedule available. We value the in-person collaboration and mentorship that come from working alongside the team, which matters most at this stage of your career.
COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS
· Base salary of $80,000 to $110,000, depending on experience
· Performance bonus
· Extended health benefits
· Flexible schedule and relocation assistance
· Support for continuing education, including courses, seminars, and conferences
