Junior Naval Architect Engineer

We are looking for an early‑career Naval Architect Engineer to join our Transition to Service Department, working specifically with the Transversals team on the River‑class Destroyer (RCD) program. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to one of Canada’s most significant naval projects while developing hands‑on expertise in ship design, survivability, and naval engineering.
In this role, you will support the team responsible for confirming that the RCD design meets key naval architectural requirements that minimize the ship’s vulnerability to damage and maximize its ability to survive, recover, and continue operating in demanding environments. You will work closely with senior engineers and cross‑functional specialists to analyze design data, review technical documentation, and help verify that ship systems and arrangements support overall survivability objectives.
This position offers meaningful technical challenges, exposure to complex warship design, and opportunities to grow your career as part of a high‑performing engineering team. If you are passionate about naval architecture and want to help deliver a new class of advanced Royal Canadian Navy vessels, we want to hear from you.
