Schedule:5 days on 2 days off - initially remote/hybrid and transitioning to site near Princeton, BCfull-time on-site during construction.Key ResponsibilitiesResponsibilities can be adjusted for the right candidate, with coaching and mentorship provided by the project team.
- Coordinate with external engineering consultants in support of the Project Manager - Water Management. Review design packages, manage Request for Information (RFI) processes, and coordinate the timely resolution of design conflicts and field discrepancies.
- Create field sketches, redlines, and as-built drawings for piping layouts, pipe supports, and mechanical equipment installations using drafting software to accommodate field conditions.
- Perform site-specific engineering calculations, including pipe hydraulics, pressure drops, pump sizing verification, and structural support assessments, ensuring compliance with applicable project standards and codes (e.g., ASME B31.3, ASME B31.11, API).
- Provide construction support by interpreting blueprints, piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs), isometric drawings, and vendor manuals for field supervisors and contractors.
- Oversee subgrade preparation, compaction, and liner installation for water storage ponds, ensuring compliance with geotechnical design specifications.
- Perform civil and structural field calculations, including earthwork volumes (cut and fill), open-channel flow hydraulics (ditch and culvert sizing), and basic concrete and rebar layout verification.
- Coordinate the interface between civil and mechanical work by verifying foundation elevations, anchor bolt placement, concrete pad levels, and pipe trench depths prior to equipment and piping installation.
- Coordinate with survey teams to verify lines, grades, and elevations for piping corridors, culverts, and water management infrastructure.
- Monitor implementation of erosion and sediment control measures, such as silt fences and check dams, to ensure compliance with environmental permits and water discharge requirements.
- Oversee and document quality control activities, including hydrostatic and pneumatic pressure testing, equipment alignment (pumps, compressors, and valves), and torque verification.
- Review vendor documentation, including Material Test Reports (MTRs) and data sheets, and verify that mechanical and piping components meet engineering specifications.
- Track and report daily and weekly progress of mechanical and piping installations against the project schedule, identifying potential bottlenecks and recommending mitigation strategies where required.
Requirements- Education: Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering (with a piping focus), or a related engineering discipline.
- Experience: 3-6 years of experience in field engineering, construction engineering, or mechanical/piping design, preferably in heavy industrial sectors such as mining, oil & gas, or large-scale water treatment.
- Software Skills: Proficiency in AutoCAD (2D/3D) is preferred. Experience with hydraulic modeling software (e.g., AFT Fathom, Pipe-Flo) or structural analysis tools is considered an asset.
Technical Knowledge- Strong understanding of water management systems, HDPE piping, carbon and stainless steel piping, pumps, and valves.
- Working knowledge of industrial piping codes (ASME B31.3) and mining/environmental regulations related to water management and discharge.
- Experience with bulk earthworks, site grading, excavation, and construction of water containment structures, including lined sedimentation ponds and drainage channels.
- Familiarity with geosynthetics, including installation and quality control testing of HDPE pond liners and geotextiles.
- Knowledge of soil mechanics, compaction testing methods (e.g., Proctor testing and nuclear density gauge testing), and concrete reinforcement and placement inspections.
- Understanding of surface water hydrology, stormwater management, and erosion and sediment control practices.
Professional Skills- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with field personnel, project managers, contractors, and engineering consultants.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to make sound decisions in fast-paced field environments.
Certifications- Engineer-in-Training (EIT) or Professional Engineer designation (P.Eng. or PE) is highly desirable.
Working Conditions- Field-based position located at a mine construction site.
- Ability to work in remote locations and outdoors in varying weather conditions.
- Must be able to wear and work safely in standard personal protective equipment (PPE), including a hard hat, steel-toed boots, safety glasses, and a high-visibility vest.
Benefits- Health and Dental Benfits.
- Company Pension Matching.
- Company Incentives.
