ENGINEER

Creating the safe, sustainable municipal infrastructure that makes Toronto so livable is the responsibility of our Engineering & Construction Services (ECS) Division, which provides specialized engineering design and construction services to Toronto Water, Transportation Services, Solid Waste Management Services and other City of Toronto Divisions, Agencies, Boards and Commissions, and external clients such as the development industry, utility companies and other public agencies.

As an Engineer/Project Manager in one of the following sections below, you’ll provide project management and engineering support in order to ensure reliable, economical and effective/efficient City-wide engineering services. This will include providing technical review of, and engineering opinions on, planning, design and operation of the Division’s programs and projects.

Staff in the Linear Infrastructure Section provide project management, contract administration, technical and engineering expertise in the planning, design and construction of linear capital works projects, including roads, sewers, green linear infrastructure, watermains, streetscaping, cycling infrastructure, and TTC track replacement.

Leading by example, as a City of Toronto Engineer/Project Manager (ECS), you’ll manage a variety of assigned engineering projects, directing project team staff to meet deadlines and ensuring effective teamwork and communication, high standards of work quality and organizational performance, continuous learning and maintenance of related data, while seeing to it that expenditures are controlled within budget. This role involves securing all required engineering permits and approvals, gathering and refining project scope, determining the financial impact of projects and proposals, reviewing and commenting on technical drawings, engineering studies, specifications, plans and cost estimates, and assisting in preparing capital and operating budgets.

Recognized for keeping current with technological developments in the field of engineering, you’ll conduct research into your assigned area, ensuring that it takes into account developments within

the field, corporate policies and practices, legislation and initiatives by other levels of government. Equipped with this up-to-date knowledge, you’ll provide technical advice, reviews and expertise, and utilize standard engineering principles and practices to assist in the operation, development and maintenance of the Division’s programs, facilities and equipment. The Division will also rely on you to prepare engineering analyses, as well as evaluate and recommend new systems, work procedures and technologies with the potential to improve divisional performance.

An effective communicator – verbally and in writing – at all organizational levels, with excellent interpersonal skills, you’re adept at working collaboratively with a multidisciplinary team, contractors, colleagues, elected officials, consultants, developers, and other internal and external clients and stakeholders. These talents will be evident as you represent the City on committees, provide input at meetings, and liaise with the public, developers, consultants, stakeholders, Councillors, other divisions and government agencies about projects, programs and developments.

Among the other strengths you bring to the role of Engineer/Project Manager ECS will be the following key qualifications:

With this professional background as a solid foundation, you bring knowledge of engineering principles and project management as it relates to public works, as well as asset management principles, including data collection, analysis and estimating, and can apply relevant legislation, standards, Acts, By-laws and Regulations, including the Occupational Health and Safety Act. You’re also known for your ability to read, interpret, and report on engineering plans and drawings, specifications, correspondence, reports and other documents in a timely manner, conduct studies, surveys and research, develop effective solutions to engineering issues, initiate and lead technical studies and projects, and plan and prepare reports and recommendations.

A valid Province of Ontario Class “G” Driver’s License is also required, with an ability to drive to different sites in a timely manner.
