About the Job

Requirements

  • A bachelor's degree in civil engineering is required.
  • The candidate must hold the Engineer title with the Ordre des ingénieurs du Québec (OIQ), or be able to obtain it quickly.
  • At least three years of experience designing and delivering civil infrastructure projects is required.
  • Experience designing access roads, earthworks, drainage, hydrology, hydraulics, and water management is required.
  • Experience with construction-site follow-up and construction support is required.
  • The candidate must understand cut-and-fill optimization and constructability principles.
  • The candidate must be proficient in AutoCAD Civil 3D, AutoCAD, and other civil-design software.
  • The candidate must have strong multidisciplinary coordination abilities.
  • The candidate must have excellent spoken and written French.
  • The candidate must be bilingual in French and English, as the role frequently involves projects for anglophone clients and partners outside Quebec.
  • A valid Class 5 driver's licence is required.

Responsibilities

  • Define project technical needs and develop solutions suited to technical, environmental, regulatory, and economic constraints.
  • Present engineering concepts, study results, and recommendations to clients, partners, and internal teams.
  • Design civil infrastructure for wind, solar, and battery energy storage system projects.
  • Design temporary and permanent access roads needed to construct, operate, and maintain facilities.
  • Plan and optimize access routes to facilitate equipment transportation while minimizing construction costs and environmental impacts.
  • Optimize site layouts and earthworks to reduce cut-and-fill volumes in wind, solar, and battery energy storage system projects.
  • Participate in planning and locating equipment to maximize constructability and the efficiency of civil works.
  • Coordinate site layouts with multidisciplinary teams to optimize land use, soil movement, and execution costs.
  • Conduct hydrology, hydraulics, drainage, and stormwater-management studies.
  • Design ditches, culverts, retention basins, erosion-control works, and other water-management infrastructure.
  • Assess runoff, erosion, and surface-water-management risks, and recommend appropriate mitigation measures.
  • Produce, check, and approve tender documents, specifications, plans, technical reports, studies, calculations, and other engineering deliverables.
  • Ensure designs comply with standards, client requirements, and municipal, provincial, and federal regulations.
  • Conduct construction-site visits, technical inspections, and field surveys.
  • Provide technical follow-up on civil works and support construction teams in resolving field issues.
  • Supervise and support technicians, designers, and drafters by serving as a technical reference.
  • Coordinate with geotechnical, environmental, electrical, and construction disciplines.
  • Integrate environmental requirements, permits, and authorization conditions into project concepts and delivery strategies.
  • Apply and promote company quality, health and safety, and risk-management processes.
  • Contribute to developing best practices, technical standards, and methods for civil engineering in renewable energy.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience in the renewable energy sector, including wind, solar, or battery energy storage systems, is an asset.
  • Knowledge of GIS tools such as ArcGIS or equivalent is an asset.
  • Knowledge of environmental and regulatory requirements applicable to infrastructure projects is an asset.
