Working under the direction of senior engineers, you will produce the models, drawings, and coordinated documentation that turn engineered designs into buildable projects.
Our regional portfolio includes acute care hospitals, continuing care and community health centres, correctional facilities, and other essential public infrastructure. You will work closely with engineers, technologists, and multidisciplinary teams to deliver high-quality documentation while supporting the continued growth of CIMA+’s local presence in the region.
This role offers a balance of technical production, project coordination, and field engagement — including site reviews, field verification, and construction support for projects throughout Northern Alberta. You will take part in our hybrid work model that includes flexible work hours, working from home and in our Grande Prairie, AB office.
