The position plays a critical role in keeping all technical disciplines aligned as the project progresses specifically for the Tunnel and Elevated Guideway design and construction works.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead all interface and integration activities related to the elevated guideway, including structural elements, foundations, bearings, utilities, systems, and adjacent works.

• Serve as the primary technical liaison between design teams, construction teams, stations, tunnels, systems, and third-party stakeholders for elevated guideway matters.

• Maintain and manage the Elevated Guideway Interface Register, ensuring actions are clearly defined, assigned, tracked, and closed.

• Coordinate integration of guideway design with alignment, trackwork, power, communications, signaling, drainage, utilities, and architectural elements.

• Facilitate interdisciplinary workshops focused on constructability, staging, installation constraints, and technical risk closure.

• Support reviews of IFC drawings, design packages, models, and specifications to identify conflicts, gaps, or impacts to adjacent structures and systems.

• Ensure compliance with Metrolinx standards, municipal requirements, and all project design criteria affecting the elevated guideway.

• Interface with systemwide teams (SCADA, S&TCS, COMMS, power supply, OCS/TPSS) to ensure elevated guideway readiness for installation and commissioning.

• Work with the Construction Manager to ensure guideway interfaces align with field realities, sequencing, and access constraints.

• Review design development against construction staging plans, erection methodologies, and crane/rigging logistics.

• Support permitting and approvals involving utilities, roads, structural works, and structural tie-ins.

• Monitor and support resolution of RFIs, NCRs, design changes, and technical clarifications related to guideway interfaces.

• Coordinate system interfaces including cable routing, troughs, conduits, OCS supports, maintenance walkways, drainage elements, and future access requirements.

• Validate as-built conditions and ensure interface documentation is updated, traceable, and properly handed over.

• Support risk and mitigation planning related to alignment tolerance, structural fit-up, erection sequencing, access limitations, and third-party constraints.

• Contribute to readiness for guideway energization, testing, and integration with downstream systemwide works.

• Other duties as required.

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, or related discipline is preferred.

• 8–12 years of experience on large-scale civil or rail transit projects, preferably with elevated guideway, bridge, or viaduct construction is preferred.

• Demonstrated experience in multidisciplinary interface management on complex transportation or megaprojects is preferred.

• Strong understanding of civil/structural design, bridge erection methodologies, segmental or span-by-span construction, and systems integration.

• Familiarity with rail systems: traction power, OCS/TPSS, S&TCS, COMMS, SCADA, and systemwide interfaces.

• Proficiency with design review tools (Bluebeam, Navisworks, Civil 3D, Revit) and interface tracking systems.

• Strong communication, coordination, and facilitation skills, with experience managing multiple stakeholders.

• Ability to translate technical challenges into solutions that support construction, sequencing, and operational requirements.
