M2 Engineering

Position Overview

As a Certified Engineering Design Technologist at M2 Engineering you will be a Computer Aid Design (CAD) Operator responsible for the engineering design drafting for multiple engineering disciplines, including civil engineering, structural engineering, and process engineering.

This position would be a great fit for you if you:

• Demonstrate a high attention to detail
• Have good math and physics skills
• Enjoy working with computers
• Enjoy working in an office environment
• Enjoy practicing in a broad spectrum of engineering design that is inclusive of civil engineering, structural engineering, and process mechanical engineering.
• Hold your Certified Engineering Technologist (C.E.T.) credentials and have 5 years of relevant industry experience

This position requires an understanding of municipal water/wastewater infrastructure and commercial/industrial buildings, which represents our primary project types. This position also requires a general understanding of civil engineering infrastructure, structural engineering, and process mechanical engineering. Candidates with experience and strengths in only one or two engineering disciplines are still encouraged to apply as this position will allow for your career development growth and your skillset expansion to include the multi-discipline engineering design of civil, structural and process mechanical projects.

In this role, you will work as a key contributor of our engineering team as a Computer Aided Design (CAD) Operator to prepare sketches, figures, and drawings for these project types for various design milestones, whether it be for initial concept development, preliminary design drawings, or detailed design drawings.

This position requires experience with Computer Aided Design (CAD) software, primarily Autodesk AutoCAD for engineering design drafting in 2D. In addition, this position will require use of additional CAD software, such as: Autodesk Civil 3D and Autodesk AutoCAD Plant 3D. Therefore, it is preferable if candidates have prior experience in either or both of Autodesk Civil 3D and Autodesk AutoCAD Plant 3D.

Any prior experience with the design of municipal infrastructure is an asset as this role includes working with a multi-discipline engineering project team to deliver complex multi-discipline projects.

Depending on the future interests of the candidate, this position has the opportunity to evolve to include responsibilities of field engineering site review work and construction contract administration. A field engineering technologist liaises directly between our engineering team, contractors, and our clients. Construction contract administration includes coordinating contractor enquiries, request for information submissions, shop drawings, site reviews, progress payment certificates, monthly construction meetings, and the preparation of meeting minutes and records. The role of a field reviewer requires short out of town trips for a 1-2 hour site review, or longer trips that could require being onsite / away from work for weeks at a time.

As a Certified Engineering Technologist you will use you use interpersonal, organizational, and time management skills to successfully execute projects. It is expected that you will be driven to continually improve upon the customer experience and will be enthusiastic and positive about learning new ways to better business.

In this position, you are required to responsible, self-motivated, detailed oriented, and a good communicator. Additionally, as a Certified Engineering Technologist you are required to provide excellent customer service and perform your duties in a busy environment.
