Property Loss Forensic Engineer /Fire Investigator

A burned out building or vehicle lies in front of you. A heavy duty tractor is broken. A mechanical defect on a vehicle caused an accident. They want to know what happened. The answer matters. You can be a part of figuring it out.

Our firm is looking for an engineer to join our Property Loss Group in Calgary. The position would involve investigating fires and other property related failures and reporting to insurance and legal clients.

Sintra Engineering is a forensic engineering firm in Edmonton and Calgary, Alberta. We aren't your typical engineering firm and forensic engineering isn't your typical engineering practice. How does a typical work day of investigating fires, analyzing evidence, and trying to figure out exactly what happened sound to you?

  • Enjoy solving technical puzzles using a combination of observation, deductive reasoning, and engineering first principles
  • Are capable of communicating your findings in clearly written reports
  • Have a desire for new challenges and responsibility
  • Have a minimum of 5 - 10 years Engineering related experience
  • Are comfortable managing client relationships through the life of a file and have excellent communication skills
  • Have a good understanding of vehicle and/or heavy equipment mechanics (considered a strong asset).

The job would entail:
  • Working as part of a multi-disciplinary team investigating the technical aspects of insurance or legal related losses. The primary focus will be in the area of fire investigation although may include other losses such as component failures, installation errors, equipment failures, and other catastrophic incidents.
  • Resolving the puzzles that surround these incidents.
  • Managing your own projects from start to finish including technical and financial aspects.

We offer:
  • A strong corporate culture based on collaboration, respect, effective communication, teamwork, continuous learning and rewarding our employees.
