Field Engineer

Come help build the future, where our work makes the world work! Field Engineer Toronto, Ontario SUMMARY Green Infrastructure Partners Inc. is seeking a high-caliber professional to lead the integration of design and field operations for complex Support-of-Excavation (SOE) and Sequential Excavation Method (SEM) projects. In this role, you will serve as the critical link between design intent and site execution within dense urban environments. PRIMARY SCOPE OF ROLE Field Engineering & Execution Plan and sequence SEM rounds (drift headings, face support, shotcrete cycles). Coordinate SOE systems (soldier piles/lagging, secant/diaphragm walls, sheet piles, tiebacks/soil nails, struts/walers). Oversee excavation activities, temporary works, utility protections, and traffic staging. Monitor geotechnical instrumentation (extensometers, piezometers, inclinometers, load cells); interpret trends and escalate exceedances. Support dewatering plans and groundwater management in accordance with permits and discharge limits. Lead ITPs, hold points, trials (e.g., shotcrete panels/cores), material approvals, and field quality records. Conduct face mapping, ground classification, and daily reports (advance, support installed, stand-up time, incidents). Technical Coordination Review drawings, models, and method statements; raise RFIs; coordinate shop drawings and temporary works designs. Interface with design teams (geotech/structural), survey, and subcontractors to resolve field clashes and constructability issues. Validate as-builts, survey control, and settlement/convergence control measures. Contribute to risk registers, trigger/action response plans, and mitigation during adverse ground conditions. Planning & Controls Develop short-interval lookahead schedules; align crews, plant, and material logistics to milestones. Track production rates (advance per shift, shotcrete volumes, anchors installed) Support cost control/changes (quantity tracking, time-impact analysis). Safety & Compliance Enforce OHS requirements, confined space protocols, ventilation, gas testing, dust/noise management, and emergency response readiness. Lead/participate in JHAs, toolbox talks, and incident investigations. Ensure compliance with permits, environmental constraints, and municipal/rail/transit corridor requirements, as applicable. POSITION REQUIREMENTS Education: B.Eng./B.Sc. in Engineering or related Discipline Experience: 5-8 years in heavy civil/underground construction with direct exposure to shoring, deep excavation, and/or SEM. Credentials: P.Eng. (or eligible) preferred; EIT considered with strong field record. Work Authorization: Permanent Resident of Canada (or Canadian citizen). Training (assets): Working at Heights, Confined Space, WHMIS, First Aid; rail/transit safety certifications. Valid driver’s license; ability to travel across project sites. Site-based role with shift work (nights/weekends) as required by excavation and tunneling sequences. Physically able to work in tunnel environments (confined spaces, variable temperatures, PPE). Technical Skills Proficient with AutoCAD / Civil 3D; Bluebeam; MS Project or Primavera P6 for short-interval planning. Familiarity with geotechnical design/analysis tools (e.g., Rocscience RS2/RS3 or Slide, PLAXIS, gINT) and instrumentation platforms. Experience with shotcrete QA/QC and SEM documentation (e.g., core tests, rebound, layer thickness control). Strong survey coordination, tolerance management, and as-built workflows Soft Skills Calm under pressure; decisive in the face of changing ground conditions and live-urban constraints. Strong communicator—able to align designers, supers, subs, and inspectors. Detail-oriented with a safety-first mindset and proactive risk management.
