FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common residential structural engineering questions about drawings, inspections, renovations, permits, foundations, and code compliance in Toronto.

Do I need to be a licensed P.Eng to apply?



Yes — an active P.Eng license in Ontario is required for this role. We're looking for engineers who can stamp and take full ownership of their work. If you hold a P.Eng in another Canadian province and are willing to obtain Ontario licensure, we'd still love to hear from you.

What does a typical week look like in this role?



Most of your week is spent working from a home office — performing structural calculations, preparing CAD drawings, and communicating with clients, contractors, and architects. You'll typically head out for site visits a few times per week within Toronto and the GTA to conduct inspections or review ongoing work.

What is the salary range and how is it determined?



The position pays $90,000 – $130,000 per year. Where you land within that range depends on your years of experience, the complexity of projects you've led, and your depth of residential structural knowledge.

Is this role fully remote or do I need to come into an office?



It's hybrid — you work primarily from a home office, but must be available Monday to Friday, 8am–5pm, and able to travel to sites across Toronto and the GTA as needed. You'll need a valid driver's license and access to your own vehicle for site visits.

What kinds of projects will I be working on?



The work is primarily residential — renovations, additions, new builds, and structural assessments. You'll handle load-bearing wall removals, beam and column sizing, foundation evaluations, retaining wall design, framing, timber frame design, and screw pile installation reviews.

How big is the team and what's the culture like?



e're a small, tight-knit firm — which means less bureaucracy, more ownership, and a real focus on work-life balance. If you thrive with autonomy and like seeing your decisions matter, this environment suits that well.

Can a structural engineer help with foundation cracks or settlement?



Yes. A structural engineer can determine the cause of cracks or movement, whether it’s settlement, moisture, or structural failure, and provide practical solutions to stabilize and repair the issue.

Do I need residential experience specifically, or does commercial count?



Previous residential experience is a strong asset, but not a hard requirement. If your background is in commercial or mixed-use structures, your transferable skills in analysis, code compliance, and CAD are absolutely valued.

Will I need to expand my license to other provinces?



Ontario licensure is required. Willingness to obtain licensure in additional Canadian provinces is considered an asset as we grow, but it's not a condition of employment right now.
