Structural Engineer (Port Carling) (Bala)

Why This Role This is a rare chance to be the founding structural engineer at a respected Muskoka design firm — not just joining a department, but building one. You'll work directly alongside a talented principal designer on one-of-a-kind custom homes and waterfront cottages, where your structural decisions are visible, impactful, and genuinely matter to the design. If you're a residential-focused P.Eng who takes pride in doing clean, well-coordinated structural work and wants to own the function rather than be one of many on a large team, this is worth a serious look.
