What if your next career move offered more than a senior title — what if it offered a genuine opportunity to build a business, lead its growth and become a Partner? Canterra Group has been retained by an established, highly respected and growing Canadian consulting engineering firm to recruit a Senior Structural Engineer and Business Development Leader for its Halifax operations. This is an exceptional opportunity for an entrepreneurial structural engineering professional who has built strong relationships within the Nova Scotia construction and development community and is ready to take on a more influential leadership role. Whether you are an accomplished Senior Engineer, Associate, Principal or an established leader considering your next chapter, this opportunity offers the ability to shape a growing practice, develop your client portfolio and pursue a defined path to Partnership. Why This Opportunity Stands Out A Genuine Path to Partnership This is not simply another senior technical position. You will have the opportunity to help grow the firm's structural engineering business in Atlantic Canada, influence its strategic direction and work toward becoming a Partner. Exceptional Earning Potential An attractive compensation package with total annual earning potential in the $250,000+ range, including competitive base salary, performance-based bonus and RSP contributions. Flexibility & Work-Life Balance Enjoy flexibility in how and where you work, including remote work options, while maintaining the client relationships and local market presence essential to success in this leadership role. An Entrepreneurial Environment with Established Support Enjoy the freedom to develop business, pursue opportunities and build relationships without having to establish a consulting practice from the ground up. Benefit from the technical resources, multidisciplinary expertise and collaborative support of an established engineering organization. A Culture Where People Matter Join a firm that values collaboration, mutual respect, mentorship and professional growth. Leadership is approachable, ideas are encouraged and individuals are empowered to take initiative. The culture emphasizes supporting colleagues, celebrating achievements and delivering exceptional client service. Interesting and Diverse Projects Work across a broad range of building types and structural engineering assignments, including new construction, building modifications, renovations, structural assessments and restoration projects. The diversity of work offers opportunities to apply your expertise, solve complex engineering challenges and build lasting client relationships. The Opportunity As a senior member of the structural engineering leadership team, you will play an important role in expanding the firm's presence and reputation in Halifax and throughout Nova Scotia. Your responsibilities will include: Developing and maintaining strong relationships with architects, general contractors, developers, building owners and other key clients. Identifying, pursuing and securing new structural engineering consulting opportunities throughout Nova Scotia and Atlantic Canada. Leading business development initiatives, preparing proposals and negotiating professional service agreements. Providing technical leadership and oversight on structural engineering projects involving a variety of building types and construction materials. Building and managing a portfolio of projects encompassing commercial, residential, institutional, industrial and other building sectors. Working collaboratively with engineering professionals across the organization to deliver practical, innovative and cost-effective solutions. Mentoring and supporting engineering staff while contributing to the continued growth of the practice. Participating in strategic planning, market development and long-term business growth initiatives. Requirements What You Bring We are interested in speaking with established structural engineering professionals who combine technical credibility with strong commercial instincts and an entrepreneurial approach. The ideal candidate will possess: Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) licence in good standing with Engineers Nova Scotia — required. Extensive experience in structural consulting engineering, with a strong background in the design, assessment and modification of buildings. Proven business development success, including developing relationships and generating consulting engineering assignments from architects, contractors, developers, building owners and other clients. An established professional network within the Halifax and Nova Scotia building design and construction markets. Experience delivering structural engineering services across a variety of building types, including new construction, renovations, additions, rehabilitation and restoration. Strong technical knowledge of structural systems and materials, including steel, concrete, masonry and wood. Demonstrated ability to manage client relationships, develop proposals, secure projects and oversee successful project delivery. Excellent communication, leadership and interpersonal skills. A genuine interest in business growth, leadership and the opportunity to progress toward Partnership. Previous experience as an Associate, Principal, Department Manager or Practice Leader would be an asset, although we are equally interested in successful Senior Structural Engineers who have demonstrated strong business development capabilities and are ready for their next challenge. Benefits Your Next Career Move Could Be Your Most Rewarding For the right individual, this opportunity offers a compelling combination of financial rewards, professional autonomy, flexible working arrangements, meaningful leadership responsibilities and a defined path to Partnership.
