Our firm is looking for an engineer to join our Property Loss Group in Edmonton. 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 Alberta with offices in Edmonton and Calgary.

  • Have a minimum of 5 years related engineering experience
  • Are comfortable managing client relationships through the life of a file and have excellent communication skills

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, code violations, plumbing failures, structural collapses 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 communications, teamwork, and continuous learning.
