Based in Thunder Bay, this role offers the opportunity to contribute to heavy industrial and mining projects, working alongside a close‐knit and collaborative team.

Reporting to a Senior Engineer / Team Lead, you will apply your structural drafting expertise from conceptual design through project completion, supporting new construction and rehabilitation projects for industrial, institutional, and government clients across Ontario.

Produce high‐quality 3D models and 2D drawings to support planning, permitting, and construction.
Develop drawings for steel, concrete, and masonry structures, including foundations and industrial facilities.
Collaborate closely with engineers and multi‐disciplinary teams to deliver coordinated design solutions.
Participate in site visits and field reviews, verifying construction progress and gathering technical information.
Support material quantity take‐offs for steel, concrete, excavation, and earthworks.
