About Us
Fidelity Engineering & Construction operates as a general contractor in the heavy civil construction sector, delivering infrastructure that supports Canada’s transportation networks, environmental systems, and public assets.
We work primarily with federal, provincial, and public-sector clients, providing end-to-end construction services on projects that demand advanced technical expertise, careful coordination, and a deep understanding of regulatory and environmental requirements.
Our work is defined not by a checklist of services, but by our ability to manage complexity, adapt to site-specific challenges, and deliver durable, long-term solutions.
Build the North with Fidelity. Driven by significant economic investment across Northwestern Ontario, Fidelity’s heavy civil and highway divisions are expanding operations to support major infrastructure growth. Key areas of expansion are focused on Road Construction, Bridge Rehabilitation and Reconstruction programs across the Thunder Bay, Rainy River & Kenora districts.
Position Overview
This opportunity offers more than just a career opportunity—it is a chance to expand your experience on large-scale, high-impact infrastructure work while gaining valuable hands-on training in a dynamic and challenging environment. For motivated professionals looking to grow, Northwestern Ontario provides the chance to build new skills, take on greater responsibility, and advance within a respected organization known for excellence, innovation, and project execution. Relocating for this role can open the door to long-term career development, exposure to major civil works, and the opportunity to be part of projects that help shape communities across the province.
