Technical Coordinator (Civil Engineering profiles) ALTO projectCadence
Job Summary
SYSTRA Canada is part of the SYSTRA group an international consulting and engineering group a world leader in the design of transport infrastructures. SYSTRA Canada is an engineering and consulting firm whose primary focus is to offer transportation solutions whether for passengers or goods: feasibility studies of building a new railway line increasing the capacity of the existing infrastructure privatization of a railway.
The Multidisciplinary Technical Coordinator is responsible for coordinating the technical development and interface management of a defined Sector of the Alto project across multiple civil and infrastructure disciplines. This role ensures that the design and technical deliverables for all linear infrastructures disciplines such as alignment roadworks railway bridges bridges geotechnic earthworks utilities landscape hydrology and drainage are fully coordinated with the others workstreams scope (Rail Systems and Rolling Stock Environment Facilities Stations ) supporting an integrated and buildable project outcome.
The position acts as a central technical focal point for cross-disciplinary coordination within the section helping to identify interface risks resolve design conflicts and maintain alignment between discipline teams project requirements and delivery milestones. A key part of the role is to drive technical collaboration and support proactive coordination with the BIM Coordinator for model integration clash detection and resolution of geometric and spatial conflicts.
The coordinator manages the multidisciplinary technical interfaces within the assigned Altos sector and ensures consistent communication between the involved design teams. The role supports the technical alignment of alignment roadworks railway bridges bridges geotechnic earthworks utilities landscape hydrology and drainage packages with all others workstreams requirements and associated corridor constraints.
The role includes reviewing discipline outputs to confirm that designs are compatible technically sound and coordinated at all relevant interfaces.
The coordinator facilitates regular technical coordination meetings with internal teams and relevant stakeholders to track interface issues review progress and drive timely resolution of conflicts. The role is expected to maintain visibility over key technical risks and escalate critical issues where necessary.
Close collaboration with the BIM Coordinator is required to support federated model reviews multidisciplinary coordination workflows and clash detection processes. The coordinator helps ensure that discipline models are developed in accordance with project standards submitted in a timely manner for integration and reviewed to identify and resolve clashes inconsistencies and constructability concerns.
Key Technical Focus Areas
The role places particular emphasis on multidisciplinary interface coordination in the high-speed rail environment. Strong attention is required for:
- Corridor constraints including alignment gradient and clearance for high-speed operations as well as spatial compatibility with OCS and dynamic envelope requirements.
- Utility and infrastructure interactions such as power supply systems signaling drainage and road/railway geometry interfaces to ensure seamless integration and operational efficiency.
Education: Civil Engineering degree.
Years of experience: 10-15 years of relevant experience
Technical competencies:
The role requires relevant experience in multidisciplinary design coordination on major infrastructure or rail/transit projects preferably within HSR metro railway.
Candidates should demonstrate experience working across several infrastructure disciplines and managing technical interfaces in a complex project environment.Familiarity with BIM-based coordination processes and experience collaborating with BIM teams on clash detection and model reviews is highly desirable.
Clear verbal and written communication skills both in French and in English.*
*Reasons for requiring bilingualism:You will have the opportunity to work with a varied clientele including both French- and English-speaking companies. Bilingualism is therefore fundamental to building strong relationships with our customers understanding their specific needs communicating effectively in their preferred language and facilitating strategic meetings.
Personal and soft skills :
The successful candidate should have strong technical coordination skills and the ability to understand how different infrastructure disciplines interact within a constrained project corridor. Good communication and facilitation skills are essential as the role requires regular interaction with multiple technical teams and stakeholders.
The role also requires sound problem-solving ability attention to detail and the capacity to manage competing technical priorities while maintaining project deadlines. A collaborative mindset is essential particularly in supporting integrated design reviews and working effectively with the BIM Coordinator and discipline teams.
