Senior Highway Design Lead - MTO Projects
We are seeking a Senior Highway Design Lead to guide the delivery of complex transportation infrastructure projects from preliminary planning through detailed design, tender preparation and construction support. This role will provide technical leadership across multidisciplinary teams, ensuring that highway, roadway and interchange designs meet applicable standards, project requirements, quality expectations and delivery schedules. The successful candidate will work closely with clients, contractors, consultants, utilities, municipalities and other stakeholders to develop practical, safe and cost-effective design solutions.
Responsibilities will include leading highway and road design assignments; reviewing geometric layouts, grading, drainage, pavement, traffic staging, roadside safety and related civil components; preparing and overseeing technical reports, drawings, specifications, cost estimates and tender documentation; and coordinating deliverables across engineering disciplines. You will manage design schedules, budgets, risks and quality control processes, while identifying issues early and implementing effective solutions. The role will also involve participating in design reviews, responding to technical questions, supporting approvals and permitting, attending construction meetings and providing timely clarification during construction. You may also be asked to mentor junior and intermediate staff and contribute to proposals, work plans and business development activities.
The ideal candidate is a licensed professional engineer with substantial experience delivering highway and transportation projects in Ontario or a comparable Canadian jurisdiction. Strong knowledge of applicable provincial highway design manuals, geometric design principles, traffic management requirements, drainage and municipal infrastructure standards is expected. Experience with design software such as Civil 3D, MicroStation, OpenRoads or comparable platforms, along with familiarity with project management and document control systems, will be considered an asset. Excellent communication, coordination, analytical and problem-solving skills are essential, as is the ability to manage competing priorities and provide clear technical direction. A collaborative, accountable and detail-oriented approach, combined with a commitment to health and safety, accessibility, sustainability and professional excellence, will support success in this position.
