Position: Structural Engineer
Location: Regina, Saskatchewan
Term: Permanent - Full Time
Travel: Site travel to project sites when required (Frequent travel to project sites for design walkdowns, inspections, construction support, and coordination)
Introduction
Brunel is currently seeking a Structural Engineer to join one of our leading mining clients in Regina, Saskatchewan. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced engineer to contribute to the design and analysis of complex underground and surface mining structures, including shafts, headframes, support systems, and heavy industrial infrastructure.
As a Structural Engineer, you will be responsible for delivering technically sound designs and providing field engineering support throughout the project lifecycle — from concept and design development to construction execution. You will apply advanced structural analysis, sound engineering judgment, and practical field experience to ensure safe, efficient, and constructible solutions for challenging mining environments.
Responsibilities
- Perform structural design and analysis (steel, concrete, shotcrete, reinforcement, etc.) for underground and surface mining structures: headframes, load frames, access galleries, portals, conveyors, foundations, supports, and structural elements of mining infrastructure
- Develop structural deliverables: design calculations, structural models, drawings, specifications, and connection details
- Perform site walkdowns, field verifications, and inspections to confirm conditions and adjust design assumptions
- Collaborate with geotechnical, civil, mechanical, and mining engineers to integrate structural designs into full project systems
- Review vendor/subcontractor structural drawings and connection details for compliance with project requirements
- Conduct structural assessments, condition inspections, and retrofits / strengthening of existing structures when required
- Evaluate structural risk, redundancy, load cases (dead, live, dynamic, seismic, ground movement) and perform checks under multiple load combinations
- Ensure designs comply with applicable codes, standards (e.g. Canadian / provincial codes, mining structural standards) and internal QA/QC
- Support construction: respond to requests for information (RFIs), provide design clarifications, and assist in issue resolution in the field
- Coordinate structural scope in bids/proposals (estimate structural costs, prepare structural scope, support tender drawings)
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in civil or Structural Engineering (or equivalent)
- Registered Professional Engineer (P.Eng.)
- Minimum 5+ years of structural engineering experience (preferably in heavy industrial, mining, underground, or infrastructure projects)
- Strong skills in structural modeling and analysis software (e.g. STAAD, SAP2000, ANSYS, RISA, or equivalent)
- Proficiency in producing structural drawings (e.g. AutoCAD, Revit, Tekla, or equivalent)
- Excellent understanding of structural principles: load paths, connection design, reinforcement design, dynamic / seismic effects, structural fatigue
- Ability to interpret geotechnical information and incorporate into structural design (e.g. interaction with rock / ground, ground movement effects)
- Strong communication skills (verbal, written, with ability to present designs, and interface with multidisciplinary teams)
- Willingness and ability to travel to project sites (including underground) to validate design conditions and support construction
Preferred / Asset Qualifications:
- Direct experience in the mining / underground contracting sector (shaft sinking, mine development, tunnelling)
- Experience in structural assessments, repairs, retrofits, or structural life-extension
- Familiarity with mining structural standards, underground support systems, shotcrete, rock bolts, etc.
- Experience with structural dynamics, vibration, fatigue, or cyclic loading
- Experience in cost estimating of structural scope
- Experience with structural risk assessment, reliability, or probabilistic design methods
Working Conditions & Travel
- Primary base in Regina office during design phases
- Frequent travel to project sites for design walkdowns, inspections, construction support, and coordination
- Site exposure may include remote, underground, or constrained environments—must comply with PPE and site safety policies
- Occasional extended stays onsite or irregular hours to respond to construction / field issues
- Some hybrid / remote flexibility possible when off site
