About The Position

Walters Engineering delivers safe, economical, and construction-driven structural steel solutions, with a strong focus on execution, collaboration, and continuous improvement. We’re looking for a Project Engineer with structural steel connection design experience to join our growing team. We are open to candidates ranging from intermediate to senior level, with opportunities to take on increased responsibility based on experience and capability. You’ll work on complex, real-world steel projects where constructability and execution matter just as much as design — with the opportunity to take ownership of decisions and see your work through to fabrication and erection.

Degree in Civil/Structural Engineering.
P.Eng (or working toward; required for senior roles).
Strong understanding of steel fabrication, connections, and erection practices.
Ability to balance technical accuracy with practical, construction-driven solutions.
Strong communication skills with a focus on clarity, relevance, and timely updates.
