The Engineering and Construction Services Division is seeking a highly motivated professional with a passion for municipal infrastructure, excellent communication skills, and demonstrated project management experience. If you’re looking for an opportunity to take a lead role in delivering essential municipal infrastructure that serves the City of Toronto's residents, businesses and visitors, then consider this an excellent career opportunity!

As an Engineer / Project Manager in the Ashbridges Bay Wastewater Treatment or the Water Treatment and Solid Waste Facilities Unit, in the Design and Construction - Major Infrastructure Section, you’ll work in a team delivering complex, multidisciplinary municipal infrastructure projects at the Ashbridges Bay Wastewater Treatment Plant or various water treatment plants, pumping stations, reservoirs, solid waste transfer stations, and closed landfills. You will provide project management and engineering expertise throughout the full project lifecycle, including  studies, preliminary design, detailed design, construction, and post construction phases of projects.

An integral part of your job as an Engineer / Project Manager will be to work independently or in a team with a Senior Project Manager and engage engineering consultants by preparing Requests for Proposals (RFPs), evaluating proposals for compliance with the City's purchasing processes, and managing, overseeing and reviewing the work of engineering consultants. Working in collaboration with the client divisions, you'll provide project management and engineering advice, prepare Request for Quotations (RFQs) and construction tender packages, and oversee construction activities. 

Project Management Accountabilities

Following best project management practices and Division guidelines and manuals, you’ll work primarily on facility projects – from initiation, scoping, and gathering of background information, to assisting the client and manager in preparing the capital budget and executing projects through to warranty completion. For projects you manage or support, it will be your responsibility for ensuring that all required permits and approvals are secured, stakeholders are identified and consulted, projects remain on schedule, expenditures are within budget and annual cash flow estimates, contract payments are finalized, and quality control / quality assurance measures are implemented (for both design and construction phases). 

Technical Expertise and Innovation

Valued for your professional expertise, you’ll review technical memoranda, alternative assessments, engineering reports, multidisciplinary engineering design drawings and contract specifications, and provide engineering review and advice to ensure compliance with applicable guidelines, standards, specifications and other requirements, as applicable. You’re also well equipped to prepare engineering analyses, justifications and evaluations to recommend change orders for senior management approval, advise on major issues, and provide sound recommendations on technical, contractual and project-related matters. You’ll conduct research and development for the effective resolution of engineering issues, as well as initiate and lead technical studies and projects.

This highly accountable role will give you the opportunity to demonstrate your thorough understanding and knowledge of design and construction processes and management, including contract law and the Construction Act, change management, and claim and dispute resolution processes. Knowledge and understanding of the Occupational Health and Safety Act and its Regulations for construction projects, proficiency using MS Office and the ability to learn new and custom software interfaces are also required. Knowledge of City of Toronto by-laws will be considered an asset.

You will also participate on various technical or project management committees that impact or contribute to service delivery improvements and employee engagement.

Communication and Stakeholder Management

Adept at communicating with a broad range of audiences – a key strength within our multi-stakeholder environment – you’ll represent the City on committees, attend meetings and provide input, manage public complaints during construction, prepare presentations for Councillors, prepare construction notices, and complete public consultation in accordance with project needs. This skill will also prove vital as you negotiate claims with contractors and consultants, and coordinate continuously with stakeholders throughout project execution.
