What is the opportunity?We are a firm that does things a little differently. This is your opportunity to join our high-calibre, experienced group of professionals on a mission to re-imagine the future by changing the way that buildings are conceived and constructed.The Ennovation team at Entuitive is looking for a Structural Engineer – Computational Design based out of our Toronto, Calgary, or Vancouver office. This is a project-focused role where your primary responsibility is delivering real structural engineering solutions on live projects—while leveraging computational design techniques to enhance design quality, accelerate workflows, and optimize building performance for our clients.We are looking for experienced structural engineers who want to expand their toolkit into computational design and automation—not the other way around. The right candidate brings a strong foundation in structural project delivery and is motivated to apply scripting, parametric modeling, and automation to solve engineering problems faster and better.What will you do?Your day-to-day work will center on structural engineering project delivery, enhanced by computational design capabilities.Structural Engineering & Project Delivery
  • Perform structural engineering design and calculations for columns, beams, slabs, foundations, and lateral systems across all project stages—from concept through construction.
  • Design and engineer using structural steel, concrete, masonry, cold-formed steel, and timber.
  • Coordinate engineering drawings and contract documents in collaboration with BIM technologists and project teams.
  • Attend and lead design meetings with project teams and clients to resolve structural challenges and provide status updates.
  • Review architectural, mechanical, electrical, and structural drawings for coordination and constructability.
  • Contribute to project planning, scheduling, resource discussions, and cost monitoring with Project Managers.
Computational Design & Automation
  • Develop parametric models and scripts to automate structural engineering workflows, geometry generation, and analysis integration.
  • Create and customize tools and plugins that connect design-to-analysis platforms, including interoperability between Revit and engineering analysis software (SAP2000, ETABS, RAM, RFEM, Sofistik).
  • Collaborate with engineers and designers to translate complex structural design requirements into computational solutions using Grasshopper, Revit, Python, and C#.
  • Build reusable workflows, templates, and component libraries that accelerate project delivery and enable knowledge sharing across the firm.
  • Support quality assurance by developing validation checks, reviewing computational outputs, and ensuring design accuracy.
Firm Development & Mentorship
  • Mentor junior staff on both structural design and computational techniques to ensure quality standards are upheld.
  • Identify and implement emerging computational design techniques that advance the firm’s capabilities and project performance.
  • Contribute to the development of standard details, specifications, and drawing standards, including Revit standards in coordination with the BIM team.
RequirementsWhat do you need to succeed?
  • BSc in Structural Engineering, Civil Engineering, or Architectural Engineering (MSc considered an asset).
  • Professional engineering status (P.Eng.) or eligibility for licensure in the applicable Canadian province.
  • Minimum 3–7 years of professional experience in structural engineering, including hands-on design and analysis work on building projects from concept through construction.
  • Demonstrated experience delivering structural projects across a range of scales and materials (steel, concrete, masonry, wood).
  • Strong proficiency in structural engineering design and analysis tools: SAP2000, ETABS, RAM, RFEM, Sofistik, or equivalent.
  • Proficiency in Revit and working knowledge of BIM coordination workflows.
  • Working knowledge of Python and/or C# with the ability to write scripts and automate workflows, OR a strong motivation to develop these skills with on-the-job support.
  • Exposure to parametric modeling or computational design techniques (Grasshopper, Dynamo, or equivalent)—even at a foundational level.
  • Knowledge of applicable building codes (NBCC, CSA, provincial codes).
  • Excellent communication skills—both verbal and written—with the ability to translate between engineering, design, and client teams.
  • Strong project management capability with a track record of delivering projects on time and on budget.
Nice to HaveThe following experience would be considered an asset:
  • Portfolio or examples demonstrating computational design work applied to structural projects.
  • Experience with Dynamo for Revit automation.
  • Experience leading or mentoring junior engineers or technicians.
  • Knowledge and interest related to embodied carbon and sustainable structural design.
  • Familiarity with digital fabrication workflows or advanced BIM coordination.
