Structural Engineer

About the Role

Exchanger Industries Limited (EIL) is seeking an experienced Structural Engineer to provide technical leadership across the full lifecycle of custom-engineered industrial equipment and modular packages. This role is hands-on, fast-paced, and deeply connected to fabrication — ideal for a structural engineer who enjoys seeing their designs built, not just reviewed.

You will act as the structural design authority, supporting projects from proposal and detailed engineering through fabrication, shipment, and field support. You’ll collaborate closely with Engineering, Project Management, Drafting & Design, Procurement, Quality, and Manufacturing to deliver practical, fabrication-ready solutions that meet code, schedule, and budget.

Our Values (RISE)

At EIL, we don’t just talk about values — we expect them to show up in our work:

Respect & Safety First – Physical and psychological safety always come first

Integrity in Action – Accountability, professionalism, and doing the right thing

Seek Growth Through Curiosity – Continuous learning and innovation

Excellence in Team Collaboration – Strong partnerships that deliver results

What You’ll Be Doing

Structural Design & Analysis

Perform structural analysis and design for industrial structures including air coolers, modular skids, platforms, walkways, and equipment supports (saddles, skirts, baseplates)

Complete static and dynamic analysis, including natural frequency checks and time-history analysis

Perform lifting, transportation (road/sea), and handling analysis for modularized structures

Design lifting lugs, anchor bolts, steel connections, and seismic ductile detailing

Conduct FEA for thin plates and shells associated with structural components

Prepare detailed calculation packages, reports, and support reaction documentation

Project & Technical Support

Act as the structural engineering liaison throughout project execution

Participate in internal and customer kickoff meetings

Review specifications, scopes, POs, and project documentation to identify risks and requirements

Provide clear, practical technical guidance to balance quality, cost, and schedule

Support and guide the drafting/design team through reviews and design intent clarification

Fabrication & Shop Floor Support

Work directly with manufacturing to resolve fit-up issues, design gaps, and non-conformances

Provide engineering input on repairs, modifications, and production challenges

Support safety-related engineering decisions during fabrication

Post-Production & Field Support

Assist with field issues, warranty investigations, and damaged equipment assessments

Participate in root cause analysis and corrective actions when required

What You Bring

Required Qualifications

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Civil / Structural / Mechanical Engineering

P.Eng. designation in Alberta and/or British Columbia (or eligible within 6 months)

Solid working knowledge of CSA, CISC, AISC, NBC, ASCE, and ASME BTH-1

Comfortable managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced project environment

Practical, solutions-focused communicator who works well across disciplines

Preferred Experience

Structural support of engineered equipment or pressure equipment packages

Experience working closely with fabrication shops and production teams

Familiarity with engineering document control and design review workflows

Software Experience (Preferred)

Structural analysis: RISA-3D, STAAD Pro, IDEA StatiCa, Limcon (or similar)

CAD / design review: AutoCAD, Inventor, SolidWorks, Navisworks

Excel, MathCAD

Work Environment

Office-based role with regular interaction in an industrial fabrication facility

PPE required when supporting shop floor activities

Ability to climb stairs/ladders and walk the production floor as needed

Travel

Occasional travel to job sites or vendor facilities

Valid Class 5 Driver’s Licence required

Why Join EIL?
