Manager, Structural Engineering
First seen by Alion on Oct 15, 2026.
Moncton, NB | Permanent Full-Time | Employee-Owned Consulting Firm
Ready to lead and grow one of Atlantic Canada's premier structural engineering teams? GEMTEC is seeking a strategic, client-focused structural engineering leader to guide our Structural Division, mentor future leaders, strengthen relationships, and help shape the next stage of our growth across Atlantic Canada.
At GEMTEC, we offer something different: the scale and multidisciplinary depth to work on meaningful projects, with the agility, ownership mindset, and personal connection of a mid-sized, employee-owned firm. You will have the autonomy to influence strategy, develop people, build client trust, and contribute directly to long-term value for our employees, clients, and communities.
This is a leadership role for someone who enjoys building teams as much as delivering excellent technical work. You will be a visible leader in the business, working closely with senior leadership while guiding day-to-day operations, project delivery, growth, and culture within the Structural Division.
What You Will Lead
- Develop and execute the Structural Division strategy in alignment with GEMTEC's corporate objectives.
- Oversee structural engineering projects from proposal through completion, with a focus on quality, client service, and profitability.
- Provide senior technical guidance on complex structural projects and support strong QA/QC practices.
- Lead annual budgets, resource planning, workload management, and operational performance.
- Grow relationships with municipal, provincial, federal, and private-sector clients, and lead key proposals.
- Coach managers, project leads, and emerging leaders through recruitment, performance management, and succession planning.
Why This Role Stands Out
- Lead a growing division of 20 team members with established clients and a strong regional reputation.
- Shape the future of an employee-owned company where leadership decisions have a visible impact.
- Build and mentor the next generation of structural engineering leaders.
- Enjoy the responsiveness and flexibility of a mid-sized firm without getting lost in bureaucracy.
- Lead infrastructure, institutional, commercial, industrial, and development projects that matter to Atlantic Canadian communities.
- Position yourself for continued advancement as GEMTEC grows nationally.
What We Offer
- Compensation: Competitive salary, based on experience, leadership background, business development success, and internal equity.
- Ownership culture: A meaningful leadership seat in an employee-owned consulting firm where success is shared by the people who help create it.
- Benefits: Complete health and dental coverage, including vision, paramedical services, Teladoc, and an Employee & Family Assistance Program.
- Retirement & time off: Retirement planning with a 5% employer match, paid vacation and sick days, and paid office closure between Christmas and New Year.
What You Bring
- Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering; structural specialization preferred. A Master's in Structural Engineering is an asset.
- Eng. designation in at least one Atlantic province.
- 10+ years of progressive structural engineering experience, including leadership or senior project management experience.
- A strong consulting background with experience managing project delivery, budgets, proposals, client relationships, and business development.
- Broad structural design experience across commercial, institutional, industrial, infrastructure, and development sectors.
- Strong understanding of QA/QC systems, NBCC, CSA, regulatory requirements, and provincial standards.
- Valid driver's licence and access to a personal vehicle for work-related travel.
