Ready to Take Your Structural
Engineering Career to the Next Level?

What if your next career move offered more than a senior title — what if
it offered a genuine opportunity to build a business, lead its growth and
become a Partner?

Canterra Group has been retained by an established, highly respected and
growing Canadian consulting engineering firm to recruit a Senior Structural
Engineer and Business Development Leader for its Halifax operations.

This is an exceptional opportunity for an entrepreneurial structural
engineering professional who has built strong relationships within the Nova
Scotia construction and development community and is ready to take on a more
influential leadership role.

Whether you are an accomplished Senior Engineer, Associate, Principal or
an established leader considering your next chapter, this opportunity offers
the ability to shape a growing practice, develop your client portfolio and
pursue a defined path to Partnership.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

A Genuine Path to Partnership

This is not simply another senior technical position. You will have the
opportunity to help grow the firm's structural engineering business in Atlantic
Canada, influence its strategic direction and work toward becoming a Partner.

Exceptional Earning Potential

An attractive compensation package with total annual earning potential in
the $250,000+ range, including competitive base salary,
performance-based bonus and RSP contributions.

Flexibility & Work-Life Balance

Enjoy flexibility in how and where you work, including remote work
options, while maintaining the client relationships and local market presence
essential to success in this leadership role.

An Entrepreneurial Environment with Established Support

Enjoy the freedom to develop business, pursue opportunities and build
relationships without having to establish a consulting practice from the ground
up. Benefit from the technical resources, multidisciplinary expertise and
collaborative support of an established engineering organization.

A Culture Where People Matter

Join a firm that values collaboration, mutual respect, mentorship and
professional growth. Leadership is approachable, ideas are encouraged and
individuals are empowered to take initiative. The culture emphasizes supporting
colleagues, celebrating achievements and delivering exceptional client service.

Interesting and Diverse Projects

Work across a broad range of building types and structural engineering
assignments, including new construction, building modifications, renovations,
structural assessments and restoration projects. The diversity of work offers
opportunities to apply your expertise, solve complex engineering challenges and
build lasting client relationships.

The Opportunity

As a senior member of the structural engineering leadership team, you
will play an important role in expanding the firm's presence and reputation in
Halifax and throughout Nova Scotia.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Developing and maintaining strong
  relationships with architects, general contractors, developers, building
  owners and other key clients.
  
• Identifying, pursuing and
  securing new structural engineering consulting opportunities throughout
  Nova Scotia and Atlantic Canada.
  
• Leading business development
  initiatives, preparing proposals and negotiating professional service
  agreements.
  
• Providing technical leadership
  and oversight on structural engineering projects involving a variety of
  building types and construction materials.
  
• Building and managing a portfolio
  of projects encompassing commercial, residential, institutional,
  industrial and other building sectors.
  
• Working collaboratively with
  engineering professionals across the organization to deliver practical,
  innovative and cost-effective solutions.
  
• Mentoring and supporting
  engineering staff while contributing to the continued growth of the
  practice.
  
• Participating in strategic
  planning, market development and long-term business growth initiatives.
  

Requirements

What You Bring

We are interested in speaking with established structural engineering
professionals who combine technical credibility with strong commercial
instincts and an entrepreneurial approach.

The ideal candidate will possess:

• Professional Engineer (P.Eng.)
  licence in good standing with Engineers Nova Scotia — required.
  
• Extensive experience in
  structural consulting engineering, with a strong background in the design,
  assessment and modification of buildings.
  
• Proven business development
  success, including developing relationships and generating consulting
  engineering assignments from architects, contractors, developers, building
  owners and other clients.
  
• An established professional
  network within the Halifax and Nova Scotia building design and
  construction markets.
  
• Experience delivering structural
  engineering services across a variety of building types, including new
  construction, renovations, additions, rehabilitation and restoration.
  
• Strong technical knowledge of
  structural systems and materials, including steel, concrete, masonry and
  wood.
  
• Demonstrated ability to manage
  client relationships, develop proposals, secure projects and oversee
  successful project delivery.
  
• Excellent communication,
  leadership and interpersonal skills.
  
• A genuine interest in business
  growth, leadership and the opportunity to progress toward Partnership.
  

Previous experience as an Associate, Principal, Department Manager or
Practice Leader would be an asset, although we are equally interested in
successful Senior Structural Engineers who have demonstrated strong business
development capabilities and are ready for their next challenge.
