Design Coordinator
About The Position
FCC Group is an international leader in engineering and infrastructure, headquartered in Spain. With over a century of history, FCC’s core businesses include construction, environmental services, end-to-end water management, and the development of concessions for large infrastructure. In Canada, FCC is proud to be involved in multiple projects in Ontario and British Columbia to improve public transportation infrastructure. FCC Canada, part of the Construction Division of FCC Group, has been present in Canada since 1997. We have been involved in innovative subway infrastructure work, such as the Highway 407 stations and Northern Tunnels for the Toronto York Spadina Subway Line Expansion, as well as the construction, operation, and maintenance of the Fredericton Moncton Highway. FCC Canada excels in civil works such as roads, railways, maritime construction, tunnels, bridges, and subway projects. Scarborough Transit Connect (STC) is a joint venture between Aecon and FCC Canada Ltd. that was selected by Metrolinx to deliver the Scarborough Subway Extension – Stations, Rails and Systems (SSE-SRS) package. The Scarborough Subway Extension will bring the TTC’s Line 2 subway service nearly eight kilometers farther into Scarborough. It will extend from Kennedy Station to Sheppard Avenue and McCowan Road, providing quick and seamless transit for those heading into and out of the downtown core and those travelling within Scarborough. The extension will replace Line 3 (the Scarborough RT), helping to reduce travel times and improve access to jobs, schools, and other key destinations throughout the city. As part of this project, FCC is looking for a Design Coordinator – Geotechnical to join our team.
