We’re currently looking for an INTERMEDIATE STRUCTURAL ENGINEER to join our Kingston team.
What does working at the Kingston location mean?
-
Contact with the Barrie office will largely be virtual except for initial onboarding, periodic visits to Barrie for company events, and if otherwise decided on as a Team.

Lead the successful planning, execution, and completion of structural engineering projects for our clients - with a strong focus on quality, cost-effective delivery, safety, and compliance.
-
Act as Project Manager on single-discipline projects, keeping them on time and on budget.
-
Coordinate with Gerrits' Project Management team on multi-disciplinary projects to keep things moving forward as planned.
-
Provide technical expertise, guidance, training, and mentorship to our team.
-
Write proposals and reports, review designs, and coordinate with vendors and clients.
-
Using your extensive knowledge of building codes and structural standards: OBC Part 4, CSA A23.3, CSA S16, CSA S136, CSA O86
What will help you succeed in this role?
-
Bachelor's degree in engineering, with an emphasis in Structural Engineering.
-
P.Eng. designation in good standing with Professional Engineers Ontario (PEO).
-
4+ years of experience in an Engineering role.
-
Comfortable with field work - construction sites, contractors, and building relationships in the Kingston area are a regular part of this role.
-
Proficient in Microsoft Office and structural analysis software (e.g., SAFI GSE, S-Frame, SPSlab, MASS, Woodworks); basic coding experience is a plus.
-
Strong, client-focused work ethic, and entrepreneurial approach.
-
A collaborative mindset - you speak up, share your perspective, and aren't afraid to respectfully challenge the team when you see a better way.
What we offer:
-
Work alongside Professional Engineers, Engineering Interns, Designers, Drafters, and more.
-
A 37.5-hour work week.
-
Hybrid work environment.
-
A salary that reflects your experience and qualifications (see Compensation below).

A comprehensive Total Rewards package, including Canada Life benefits, a MyHSA spending account, and an optional GRSP/DPSP program.

Opportunities to get involved in charitable initiatives throughout the year.
-
Ongoing support for your professional development and growth.
