The opportunity

Shape the design. Guide the team. Build the North. As a Senior Structural Designer based in Sudbury, Ontario, you will lead structural design and modelling for complex mining and industrial facilities, from early layout through issued-for-construction deliverables. You will bring practical design judgement, coordinate closely with engineers and other disciplines, and strengthen the capability of the local design team.

You will help build WSP’s Sudbury delivery capability while connecting with multidisciplinary mining specialists across Canada and around the world. This is an opportunity to contribute across long-term programs, multiple clients, and diverse project stages while shaping a growing Northern Ontario team.

• Extensive structural design and drafting experience in mining, heavy industrial, or comparable project environments.
• Advanced proficiency with relevant 2D and 3D design software, coordinated model workflows, and industrial drafting practices.
• Strong knowledge of structural steel and concrete detailing, industrial layouts, drawing standards, and constructability considerations.
• Experience leading design packages, estimating effort, assigning work, monitoring progress, checking deliverables, and mentoring designers.
• Strong field awareness, communication, interdisciplinary coordination, technical problem-solving, and commitment to quality and safety.
• Experience with brownfield facilities, laser-scan or point-cloud information, and constructability-focused design is preferred.
• Experience developing structural layouts for conveyors, equipment supports, process buildings, or underground infrastructure is preferred.

• Plan design work, estimate effort, assign tasks, monitor progress, and check and back-check models and drawings for accuracy, completeness, standards compliance, and interdisciplinary coordination.
• Coordinate interfaces with mechanical, piping, electrical, process, and civil teams; participate in model reviews; and identify clashes, access issues, and constructability risks early.
• Support site investigations, field verification, brownfield tie-ins, and construction-driven revisions while proposing practical resolutions to field constraints.
• Develop design practices, templates, and efficient workflows while mentoring junior and intermediate designers and strengthening quality and safety across the team.
