Do you want to put your mechanical engineering expertise to work on challenging, hands-on lifting projects?

At GUAY, you’ll work at the heart of our operations, collaborating with a team of engineers and drafters on constantly evolving projects for a recognized and well-established leader in the industry.

More specifically, you will:

• Supervise and coordinate the work of 4 to 7 drafters: assign requests, explain requirements, follow up, and ensure that plans meet applicable standards and allow lifting operations to be carried out safely;
• Manage lifting requests from start to finish: gather information from sales representatives and their clients, follow up, incorporate feedback, and manage revisions through to project execution;
• Analyze work environments to identify constraints, interferences, power lines, access points, and other factors that may affect crane positioning and operation;
• Design and analyze technical solutions tailored to complex lifting projects, particularly in the hydroelectric and industrial sectors and, as required, in refineries;
• Manage priorities and schedules to ensure requests are completed within required timelines and, whenever possible, deliver ahead of schedule;
• Collaborate with sales representatives, clients, and various GUAY departments, including procurement, maintenance, and fabrication, to resolve technical issues;
• Participate in technical meetings with sales representatives and clients and travel to project sites when warranted by the complexity of the project;
• Following the onboarding and training period, gradually take responsibility for supervising lifting operations in the field, including planning and monitoring activities;
• Continuously improve practices, learn from experience, stay current with industry developments, and contribute to knowledge sharing within the engineering team.

Desired profile:

• Autonomy, initiative, professional judgment, and the ability to manage a project from start to finish, providing a turnkey solution;
• Functional English skills to understand technical documentation and communicate with certain clients and suppliers;
• Excellent analytical and technical problem-solving skills;
• Ability to manage multiple requests simultaneously, establish priorities, and meet tight deadlines;
• Autonomy, initiative, professional judgment, and the ability to manage a project from start to finish;
• Strong coordination and communication skills when working with technical and operational stakeholders;
• Team spirit, respect for colleagues, open-mindedness, and the ability to work in a multidisciplinary and multicultural environment;
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to safety rules and professional practices.

Job requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering;
• Active membership with the Ordre des ingénieurs du Québec (OIQ) and a professional engineer designation (required);
• 5 to 10 years of relevant experience in mechanical engineering; direct experience in lifting operations, equipment, electrical installations, or the industrial sector is considered a strong asset.

Benefits:

• A competitive salary that reflects your skills and experience;
• A competitive retirement savings plan: you contribute 5%, and GUAY contributes 5%;
• Comprehensive group insurance coverage, with 65% paid by GUAY;
• Wellness support, including an Employee Assistance Program, telemedicine services, stress management, and mental health resources;
