Senior Project Engineer

Job Description

Insight Global is hiring a Senior Project Engineer for an initial 12-month contract with potential for extension. This is a remote position within Canada supporting an owner-side engineering and project team on a major greenfield mining development. The Senior Project Engineer will provide multidisciplinary oversight across civil, structural, mechanical, and electrical engineering, coordinating Engineering Service Providers and managing work packages, schedules, resources, budgets, forecasts, deliverables, and dependencies. This individual will monitor engineering progress, identify risks and potential schedule impacts, resolve cross-discipline blockers, and ensure critical decisions and information are escalated to keep engineering deliverables moving toward construction and execution. The role is discipline-agnostic and requires someone who can look across the entire engineering program, connect dependencies between disciplines, and hold engineering providers accountable for delivery. Travel may be required depending on project needs.
