Innovate and Lead
In this role, you will be at the forefront of innovation, collaborating on transformative projects that push the boundaries of what is possible. If you are looking for a challenge that offers both career growth and the chance to make an impact, this is the opportunity for you.
Based in Gatineau, you will contribute as an Industrial Mechanical Engineer and deepen your expertise as a technical specialist supporting manufacturing, processing, and industrial facilities. Focused on hands-on engineering rather than project administration, you will apply advanced mechanical judgement to improve the integrity, performance, safety, and reliability of industrial systems.
Deliver detailed calculations for industrial equipment and systems, including stress analysis, heat transfer, ventilation, piping, rotating machinery, and reliability engineering.
Produce equipment specifications, piping and instrumentation diagrams, mechanical data sheets, scoping documents, design notes, technical memoranda, and engineering justification reports.
Design and analyze mechanical components and assemblies by selecting materials, tolerances, and parameters aligned with applicable industrial codes and performance requirements.
Size pumps, fans, compressors, heat exchangers, and industrial heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning equipment to strengthen safety, efficiency, and long-term durability.
Resolve equipment failures and operational issues through root-cause analysis, field verification, equipment inspections, laser scans, three-dimensional models, and defensible engineering recommendations.
Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineers and computer-aided design and Revit professionals to integrate technical solutions into coordinated design packages.
A bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering and eligibility for registration as a Professional Engineer with the Ordre des ingénieurs du Québec.
Extensive mechanical engineering experience in industrial environments involving manufacturing lines, heavy equipment, process systems, utilities, or material handling.
Advanced capability with AutoCAD, Revit, finite-element analysis tools, mechanical simulation software, reliability platforms, or comparable engineering applications.
Deep knowledge of pumps, conveyors, blowers, pressure systems, mechanical drives, and rotating and static industrial equipment.
Strong command of CSA, ASME, ANSI, NFPA, and other applicable industrial codes and standards used to validate mechanical designs.
Expertise in asset integrity, maintenance engineering, failure modes, root-cause analysis, and lifecycle evaluation for operational facilities.
Ability to translate complex technical problems into structured calculations, design decisions, and engineering reports that withstand technical review.
Full professional proficiency in French and readiness to complete field verification, equipment assessments, and detailed walkthroughs in operating industrial environments.
We exist to shape communities to advance humanity. The brightest engineers, advisors and scientists from across the globe call WSP home.
