Building Science Engineer managing projects related to building envelope and construction at Stantec. Collaborating with architects, engineers, and construction teams to deliver quality results.
Responsibilities
Manage and deliver assigned building science projects, including scope, schedule, budget, and coordination
Perform building envelope design, third-party design reviews, and building envelope commissioning services for new construction and rehabilitation projects
Prepare and coordinate contract drawings, details, and technical specifications
Review design documents, shop drawings, and trade submittals for conformance with good building practice related to:
Water intrusion
Air leakage
Vapor diffusion
Thermal performance
Differential movement
Conduct site reviews and field investigations to confirm construction aligns with approved designs and mock-ups
Prepare site visit reports, track deficiencies, and coordinate resolution with project teams
Perform and oversee field testing of building envelope assemblies (air leakage and water infiltration) and prepare test reports
Contribute to forensic investigations related to building envelope failures such as water leakage, air/vapour control problems, concrete deterioration / delamination, and other failures involving wall cladding and fenestration assemblies, roofing, below-grade foundations and parking garages, and other building elements.
Interface directly with architects, contractors, and sub-trades, escalating technical issues as required
Contribute to building condition assessments and report preparation; although not a primary role, review of reports and miscellaneous involvement will be required from time to time
Support proposal preparation, fee development, and business development initiatives, including direct involvement in sales and marketing with prospective and ongoing clients
Participate in internal training, mentoring, and technical knowledge sharing
Requirements
Typically 5–15 years of experience in building science, building envelope consulting, construction, or related fields, however, will consider candidates with both less and more experience.
Experience with review and repair of building envelope systems such as:
Systems involving liquid water, air, heat energy, and vapor control
Experience with energy performance modeling and code requirements, LEED requirements, and sustainable practices are all considered assets
Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering, Architecture, Building Science, or a related discipline
Strong written and verbal communication skills
Ability to work independently while collaborating within a multidisciplinary team
Proficiency with Microsoft Office
Familiarity with Bluebeam, CAD, and/or Revit is an asset
Willingness to perform regional travel and work on active construction sites
Valid driver’s license and clean motor vehicle record.
