Structural Engineer – Computational Design

Role Overview

• Perform structural engineering design and calculations for columns, beams, slabs, foundations, and lateral systems across all project stages—from concept through construction
• Design and engineer using structural steel, concrete, masonry, cold-formed steel, and timber
• Coordinate engineering drawings and contract documents in collaboration with BIM technologists and project teams
• Attend and lead design meetings with project teams and clients to resolve structural challenges and provide status updates
• Review architectural, mechanical, electrical, and structural drawings for coordination and constructability
• Contribute to project planning, scheduling, resource discussions, and cost monitoring with Project Managers
• Develop parametric models and scripts to automate structural engineering workflows, geometry generation, and analysis integration
• Create and customize tools and plugins that connect design-to-analysis platforms, including interoperability between Revit and engineering analysis software (SAP2000, ETABS, RAM, RFEM, Sofistik)
• Collaborate with engineers and designers to translate complex structural design requirements into computational solutions using Grasshopper, Revit, Python, and C#
• Build reusable workflows, templates, and component libraries that accelerate project delivery and enable knowledge sharing across the firm
• Support quality assurance by developing validation checks, reviewing computational outputs, and ensuring design accuracy
• Mentor junior staff on both structural design and computational techniques to ensure quality standards are upheld
• Identify and implement emerging computational design techniques that advance the firm’s capabilities and project performance
• Contribute to the development of standard details, specifications, and drawing standards, including Revit standards in coordination with the BIM team.

Requirements

• BSc in Structural Engineering, Civil Engineering, or Architectural Engineering (MSc considered an asset)
• Professional engineering status (P.Eng.) or eligibility for licensure in the applicable Canadian province
• Minimum 3–7 years of professional experience in structural engineering, including hands-on design and analysis work on building projects from concept through construction
• Demonstrated experience delivering structural projects across a range of scales and materials (steel, concrete, masonry, wood)
• Strong proficiency in structural engineering design and analysis tools: SAP2000, ETABS, RAM, RFEM, Sofistik, or equivalent
• Proficiency in Revit and working knowledge of BIM coordination workflows
• Working knowledge of Python and/or C# with the ability to write scripts and automate workflows, OR a strong motivation to develop these skills with on-the-job support
• Exposure to parametric modeling or computational design techniques (Grasshopper, Dynamo, or equivalent)—even at a foundational level
• Knowledge of applicable building codes (NBCC, CSA, provincial codes)
• Excellent communication skills—both verbal and written—with the ability to translate between engineering, design, and client teams
• Strong project management capability with a track record of delivering projects on time and on budget.
