What you can expect to do here:
  • Designing and 3D modeling mechanical systems, piping layouts, and plant configurations using AutoCAD and Plant3D
  • Creating P&IDs, isometrics, and process flow diagrams that reflect real-world functionality and safety
  • Visiting client mine sites to verify designs and soak in firsthand feedback
  • Supporting feasibility and detailed design work with fresh ideas and precision
  • Interfacing with clients and cross-discipline teams to deliver high-quality engineering outputs
  • Championing safety-first values as part of WSP's H&S program
  • Pitching in on other project phases as needed - because no great design happens in isolation

We're looking for someone curious, collaborative, and eager to grow:
  • A College Diploma or higher in Mechanical Engineering Design
  • 0-5 years' industry experience (mining exposure is a plus!)

  • Proficiency in AutoCAD and Plant3D, with bonus points for skills in SolidWorks, Inventor, Revit, AutoPLANT, Civil3D, and Microsoft Office
  • Top-notch organizational and time management abilities
  • Clear and confident communication in English - written and verbal
