Job Description

CIMA+'s Buildings team is renowned for its expertise in designing high-quality buildings. We are committed to providing the most cost-effective solutions to engineering challenges and offer a diverse range of projects from the initial planning stages to design and construction. CIMA+ cultivates career growth and provides opportunities as unique as you are. With a constant desire to offer our clients the best possible service, we have set up a team of specialists dedicated to high-performance projects to support our clients and design teams across Canada. Join us and immerse yourself in a dynamic, innovative, and collaborative environment where you’ll make a real impact. Together, we’ll push boundaries and go above what’s expected of us to meet the challenges of tomorrow and engineer a better world!

We are currently seeking an Intermediate Mechanical Engineer to join our Buildings team in Grande Prairie. In this role, you will contribute to the design and delivery of mechanical systems for a wide variety of building projects across Northern Alberta — with a particular emphasis on healthcare and mission-critical facilities, where system reliability, code compliance, and occupant safety are paramount.

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 engineering solutions while supporting the continued growth of CIMA+’s local presence in the region.

This role offers a balance of technical design, project coordination, and hands-on field engagement — including site visits, commissioning, 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.
