Job Type: Permanent

Cyber Security Administrator

  • Location: Denver, Colorado
  • Type: Permanent
  • Job #8273
  • Salary: NON 150,000

Location: Denver, Colorado

Compensation: Competitive base salary + package 

Environment: Smallsat Design and Manufacturing

EVONA is working with a fast-growing space technology company that is building the next generation of satellite systems and expanding its operations across the United States.

As the business scales its US footprint, its technology infrastructure needs to scale with it.

That’s where you come in.

We’re looking for a Cyber Security Administrator to take ownership of the secure IT and cyber environment supporting the company’s growing Denver operation.

This isn’t a role where you’ll simply inherit a mature corporate environment and keep the lights on.

You’ll be hands-on across infrastructure, cybersecurity, government cloud platforms and compliance, helping build and strengthen the systems that allow a rapidly growing space company to operate securely within highly regulated US government and aerospace environments.

The opportunity

You’ll become one of the key people responsible for the security and reliability of the US technology environment.

Your world will span Microsoft GCC High, Azure Government and AWS GovCloud, alongside local infrastructure, networks, endpoints, identity and access management.

One day you might be strengthening Conditional Access and privileged access controls. The next, you could be investigating suspicious activity, hardening infrastructure, preparing evidence for a compliance audit or improving the security architecture supporting the company’s continued US expansion.

You’ll have genuine ownership and the opportunity to influence how the environment develops rather than simply following processes designed somewhere else.

What you’ll be responsible for

You’ll take ownership across:

  • Microsoft GCC High, including Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, Intune and Entra ID
  • Azure Government infrastructure, networking, storage, monitoring and security
  • AWS GovCloud, including IAM, networking, logging and security controls
  • Windows Server and Microsoft 365 environments
  • Firewalls, VPNs, switches, routers, wireless networks and connectivity
  • Identity and access management, MFA, RBAC and privileged access
  • Endpoint security, EDR, encryption, patching and vulnerability management
  • Security monitoring, incident investigation, containment and remediation
  • System hardening and security configuration
  • Backup, disaster recovery and business continuity
  • Employee onboarding, offboarding, hardware and asset management
  • Infrastructure and security documentation
  • Audit evidence, access reviews, inventories, logs and compliance records

You’ll also help evaluate encryption technologies and protocols including AES, RSA, ECC and TLS/SSL, ensuring data-at-rest and data-in-transit is appropriately protected and aligned with FIPS 140-2/140-3 requirements.

What we’re looking for

You’ll probably have 5+ years of experience across systems administration, infrastructure, IT operations or cybersecurity, ideally within an aerospace, defence, government or similarly regulated environment.

You should be comfortable getting hands-on rather than operating purely at policy level.

Experience across several of the following would be particularly valuable:

Microsoft GCC High | Azure Government | AWS GovCloud | Entra ID | Active Directory | Intune | Microsoft Defender | Sentinel | EDR | IAM | Windows Server | Networking | Firewalls | VPNs | Vulnerability Management

Exposure to CMMC, NIST 800-171, FedRAMP, ITAR, DFARS or comparable regulated environments would also be highly advantageous.

Most importantly, we’re looking for someone who can solve problems, take ownership and operate effectively in a company moving quickly.

Why apply?

Because this is an opportunity to join during the build, not after everything has already been built.

You’ll be working inside a fast-growing space company developing advanced satellite technology for commercial, scientific and government missions.

You’ll have the autonomy to improve systems, strengthen security controls and influence how the US technology environment evolves as the organisation continues to scale.

And because the company operates internationally, you’ll also collaborate with experienced engineering and technology teams across its global operations, with opportunities for occasional international travel.

What's on offer?

$120,000–$150,000 base salary, depending on experience

Health insurance

401(k) matching

Team performance-based bonus

Professional development and progression opportunities

International collaboration and occasional travel

If you’re a Cyber Security Administrator who enjoys building, improving and securing complex environments — and you’d like to apply that experience to technology that ultimately operates in space — we’d like to hear from you.

Senior IT Systems Administrator

  • Location: Denver, Colorado
  • Remote: Hybrid
  • Type: Permanent
  • Job #8272
  • Salary: NON 130,000

Location: Denver, Colorado

Compensation: Competitive base salary + package 

Environment: Smallsat Design and Manufacturing

The opportunity

Imagine arriving at work knowing the systems you're responsible for aren't supporting another ordinary corporate office.

They're supporting a team building spacecraft.

EVONA is partnering with a fast-growing international space technology company that is expanding its US operations in Denver and building the infrastructure, engineering capability and teams required to support its next phase of growth.

At the centre of that expansion sits IT.

As Senior IT Systems Administrator, you'll become the primary IT resource for the US operation — responsible for keeping its people connected, its infrastructure reliable, its cloud environments secure and its systems compliant with the demanding requirements of the US government and defence ecosystem.

This isn't a role where you'll spend your day forwarding tickets to somebody else.

You'll own things.

What will you actually be responsible for?

Your environment will span everything from the laptop sitting on an engineer's desk to government-regulated cloud infrastructure.

You'll support employees when technology gets in their way, troubleshoot hardware and software issues and manage the workstations, servers, networks and devices that keep the Denver operation running.

But that's only the beginning.

You'll administer Microsoft GCC High across Exchange Online, SharePoint, Teams, OneDrive, Intune and Entra ID, alongside Azure Government infrastructure and AWS GovCloud environments.

Identity and access will sit firmly within your world.

You'll manage onboarding and offboarding, user provisioning, MFA, role-based access, privileged accounts and permissions across both local and cloud environments.

You'll also have significant responsibility for cybersecurity.

That means monitoring endpoints and infrastructure, investigating suspicious activity, responding to security incidents, managing vulnerabilities, maintaining patching and system-hardening programmes and continuously improving the controls protecting the organisation.

When something doesn't look right, you'll investigate it.

When something could be more secure, you'll improve it.

And when the organisation grows, you'll help make sure the technology and security architecture can grow with it.

Security isn't an afterthought here

The company operates within an environment where government and defence customers expect considerably more than a password policy and antivirus software.

You'll help maintain and strengthen compliance with frameworks and requirements such as:

CMMC | NIST 800-171 | FedRAMP | ITAR | DFARS

You'll maintain security documentation, inventories, audit evidence, access reviews, logs and control records and help ensure the organisation is ready when customers or auditors need evidence that controls are actually being followed.

You'll also evaluate encryption technologies and protocols including AES, RSA, ECC and TLS/SSL, considering how they're applied to data at rest and in transit.

That includes disk encryption, certificate handling and key management in environments aligned with FIPS 140-2/140-3 requirements.

You'll support backups, restoration testing, disaster recovery and business continuity exercises too.

Because in this environment, resilience matters just as much as security.

You'll have a lot of technology to play with

Depending on the environment, you'll be working across technologies including:

  • Microsoft GCC High
  • Azure Government
  • AWS GovCloud
  • Microsoft Entra ID / Active Directory
  • Microsoft Intune
  • Microsoft Defender
  • Microsoft Sentinel / Security Center
  • Windows Server
  • EDR and endpoint security
  • Firewalls, VPNs and networking
  • Identity and privileged access management
  • Vulnerability and patch management
  • Monitoring and logging platforms
  • Encryption and key management

You'll also manage and troubleshoot the physical infrastructure behind the operation — switches, routers, storage, wireless networks, firewalls, internet connectivity and office IT equipment.

So if you're someone who enjoys being genuinely hands-on rather than specialising in one tiny corner of an enterprise IT department, you'll have plenty to get involved with.

Who are we looking for?

We're looking for someone with at least five years of experience across systems administration, infrastructure engineering, IT operations, cybersecurity or a closely related field.

You'll ideally have a degree in IT, Computer Science or Cybersecurity, although equivalent practical experience is equally interesting.

You'll need strong experience within Windows-based enterprise environments and Microsoft 365.

Experience with Microsoft GCC High, Azure Government and AWS GovCloud would be particularly valuable because these environments will form an important part of your responsibility.

You should also be comfortable with:

Active Directory and Entra ID, Group Policy, DNS and DHCP; TCP/IP, VLANs, routing, VPNs and firewalls; endpoint security and EDR; device management and encryption; vulnerability remediation; system monitoring and logging; incident investigation and response.

Experience supporting organisations working within CMMC, NIST 800-171, FedRAMP, ITAR, DFARS or similar regulated environments would be highly advantageous.

But technical knowledge alone isn't enough.

You'll be the person people turn to when something isn't working.

So we're looking for someone who can troubleshoot calmly, communicate clearly, document properly and explain technical problems to people who don't necessarily speak IT.

Why apply?

Because this is an opportunity to join while the US operation is still being built.

Rather than inheriting an enormous corporate environment where everything was designed ten years ago and changing anything requires six committees, you'll have the opportunity to influence how infrastructure, security and IT operations develop as the organisation grows.

You'll work alongside engineers and technical teams developing next-generation space technology, while collaborating with colleagues across the company's international offices.

You'll have autonomy, direct access to leadership and the opportunity to recommend better technology, architecture, processes and security controls when you see an opportunity to improve something.

There will also be opportunities for occasional international travel and collaboration with the company's European teams.

What’s on offer?

Salary: $100,000 – $130,000 USD

The final salary will depend on experience and technical background.

You'll also receive:

  • Health insurance coverage
  • Matching 401(k) plan
  • Generous team performance-based bonus
  • Autonomy and direct access to leadership
  • Travel and conference opportunities
  • International collaboration
  • Ongoing learning and career development

One final thought

Plenty of companies need someone to administer Microsoft 365, manage their network and keep their cloud infrastructure running.

Far fewer can offer you the opportunity to do it while helping build the US technology infrastructure behind an international spacecraft company.

If you like the idea of owning an environment rather than simply maintaining one — and you want your next IT challenge to involve space, government technology and serious cybersecurity — we'd love to hear from you.

Quality Inspector

  • Location: Denver, Colorado
  • Type: Permanent
  • Job #8271
  • Salary: NON 90,000

Location: Denver, Colorado

Compensation: Competitive base salary + package 

Environment: Smallsat Design and Manufacturing

The opportunity

There aren't many Quality Inspector roles where the hardware you sign off today could eventually be operating hundreds of kilometres above Earth.

This is one of them.

We’re supporting a fast-growing international space company that is expanding its US operations in Denver and building a high-performing team to manufacture, integrate and test the next generation of small satellites.

As that operation grows, they’re looking for a Quality Inspector who will become one of the most important checkpoints between a collection of individual components and flight-ready spacecraft hardware.

Because once something goes into space, you can't simply bring it back to the workshop and fix it.

Quality matters.

What will you actually be doing?

You'll work directly on the floor alongside the Assembly, Integration and Test (AIT) team, primarily within a cleanroom environment.

As spacecraft hardware moves through assembly and integration, you'll be there checking that every stage has been completed correctly before the next one begins.

You'll inspect boards, cables and mechanical components for defects, damage and workmanship issues.

You'll make sure engineers and technicians are working from the correct drawings, instructions and revisions.

You'll verify part numbers, serial numbers and lot numbers and make sure the supporting documentation matches the hardware in front of you.

You'll inspect work against defined checklists, record the results and sign off travellers and route cards once you're satisfied everything has been completed correctly.

You'll also help maintain the disciplines that are essential when building flight hardware — cleanroom procedures, correct gowning, ESD protection, contamination control and ensuring only approved materials enter controlled environments.

And when something doesn't look right?

You'll speak up.

You'll identify and flag non-conformances, help document the issue and work alongside the AIT team to catch problems early rather than allowing them to move further through the build process.

You'll also ensure inspection tools and gauges are properly maintained and within calibration and take photographic records of hardware or defects when required.

Who are we looking for?

You don't necessarily need to have built satellites before.

Experience within aerospace or space would obviously be valuable, but we're equally interested in people coming from other environments where quality simply cannot be compromised.

That could include electronics manufacturing, medical devices, automotive, aviation or another high-reliability engineering environment.

What matters is your mindset.

You're someone who notices the small things.

You're comfortable handling delicate components and carrying out detailed visual inspections.

You can read technical drawings and follow detailed work instructions.

You're methodical with documentation and understand why traceability matters.

Most importantly, you have the confidence and integrity to say:

“This isn't right.”

Even when everyone else is under pressure to hit a deadline.

You'll ideally have a technical secondary education or higher in electronics, mechanics or a related discipline.

Experience working within a cleanroom or ESD-controlled environment would be advantageous, as would electronics inspection experience or knowledge of standards such as IPC-A-610.

Why apply?

Because you'll be joining at an exciting stage.

The company is growing its US operation and building a team in Denver that will play an important role in its future spacecraft programmes.

You'll work alongside talented engineers and technicians solving genuine space engineering challenges and developing next-generation satellite technology.

It's a fast-moving environment where people are trusted to take ownership, solve problems and continuously improve how things are done.

There is also a strong emphasis on learning and development, including structured career progression, educational programmes and opportunities to learn directly from experienced international space professionals.

The role will be primarily on-site in Denver, with occasional opportunities to visit and collaborate with colleagues at the company's European headquarters.

What’s on offer?

Salary: $70,000 – $90,000 per year

You'll also receive health insurance coverage, a matching 401(k) plan and a generous team performance-based bonus.

If you've built your career around making sure things are done properly and you'd like the next hardware you inspect to have a destination considerably further away than the customer down the road, we'd love to hear from you.

Thermal Engineer

  • Location: Denver
  • Type: Permanent
  • Job #8261
  • Salary: NON 160,000

Location: Denver, Colorado

Compensation: Competitive base salary + package 

Environment: Smallsat Design and Manufacturing

What if you could take ownership of the thermal performance of a spacecraft from the first design decisions all the way through testing, launch and operations?

EVONA is working with a fast-growing space company that's building its US engineering team in Denver, Colorado, and we're looking for an experienced Spacecraft Thermal Engineer to join them.

You'll be joining a fast-paced, hands-on smallsat engineering and manufacturing environment, developing advanced satellites for commercial, government and scientific missions.

This is an opportunity to get close to the hardware, solve real spacecraft engineering problems and see your work ultimately fly.

The opportunity

As a Spacecraft Thermal Engineer, you'll be responsible for thermal engineering activities across the full spacecraft lifecycle.

From initial spacecraft design and thermal architecture through manufacturing, environmental testing, launch and flight operations, you'll have the opportunity to follow your engineering work from concept to orbit.

You'll work as part of a multidisciplinary Systems Engineering team, collaborating closely with mechanical, electrical, systems and AIT engineers to make sure the spacecraft performs across the environments it will encounter.

You'll work on both satellite platforms and customer-specific spacecraft, meaning the engineering challenges won't always be the same.

This isn't a role where you'll simply run an existing thermal model and produce a report.

You'll help define the thermal architecture.

You'll build and develop the models.

You'll make predictions.

You'll validate them through testing.

And when something doesn't behave as expected, you'll help figure out why.

What you'll be doing

You'll take responsibility for defining spacecraft thermal architectures, including radiators, thermal blankets, heaters and other thermal-control solutions.

You'll build and maintain spacecraft thermal models and use them to predict performance across hot and cold flight cases.

You'll support TVAC campaigns by predicting thermal behaviour, defining test success criteria and calculating thermal power consumption.

Once the hardware goes into testing, you'll correlate your models against real test results and refine them accordingly.

And when thermal issues arise, you'll investigate them, understand the root cause and work with the wider engineering team to drive them through to closure.

Your involvement won't necessarily stop at launch either.

You'll have the opportunity to support spacecraft through flight operations and see how the systems you've designed and analysed perform in the real environment of space.

Who we're looking for

We're looking for someone with a strong technical background in spacecraft thermal engineering who enjoys being close to both the analysis and the hardware.

You'll ideally bring:

  • An MSc in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Thermal Engineering or a related discipline

  • Experience developing and working with thermal models
  • Understanding of spacecraft hot-case and cold-case analysis
  • Experience supporting thermal vacuum testing and model correlation
  • A strong understanding of mechanical engineering principles
  • The ability to investigate and solve complex thermal problems
  • Strong communication skills and a collaborative approach to engineering

You'll also be someone who takes ownership and understands that good engineering isn't finished until the solution is delivered and proven.

This role is primarily on-site in Denver, Colorado.

What would really make you stand out?

If you've spent 5+ years working on space programmes, I'd particularly like to hear from you.

Experience with nanosatellites or small satellites would be highly valuable.

Perhaps you've already taken spacecraft through thermal analysis, TVAC qualification and into flight.

Maybe you've worked in an environment where thermal engineers don't operate in isolation, but work directly alongside mechanical, systems, electronics and AIT teams to make rapid engineering decisions.

And if you're comfortable sharing your knowledge and helping develop more junior engineers around you, even better.

Why Apply?

Because you'll have the opportunity to work on real spacecraft and see the impact of your engineering decisions.

You'll be joining a fast-paced and delivery-focused environment where engineers are encouraged to take ownership, solve problems and continuously improve.

There are difficult engineering challenges to solve and plenty of hands-on R&D as the company continues developing its next generation of small satellite technology.

You'll also collaborate with experienced international engineering teams across Europe, with opportunities for occasional international travel.

The package includes:

  • Salary of $120,000–$180,000 per year
  • Health insurance
  • Matching 401(k)
  • Continued technical learning and development
  • International collaboration and occasional travel

Most importantly, this is an opportunity to own your work from analysis to hardware.

What if your next systems engineering role wasn't about maintaining a programme that's already been built?

What if you could help shape the satellites themselves?

EVONA is working with a fast-growing space company that's expanding its presence in the US and looking for an experienced Systems Engineer to join its team in Denver, Colorado.

This is an opportunity for someone who understands small satellites, enjoys solving difficult engineering problems and wants to work somewhere where decisions turn into hardware and missions quickly.

You'll be joining a fast-paced, hands-on smallsat engineering and manufacturing environment, developing advanced software-flexible satellites for commercial, government and scientific missions.

The opportunity

As a Systems Engineer, you'll sit at the centre of the spacecraft development process.

You'll work directly with customers to understand what they're trying to achieve, translate those mission objectives into clear technical requirements, and then work alongside hardware and software engineering teams to turn those requirements into a satellite solution that works.

You'll be involved from the early conversations and system definition right through the development lifecycle towards deployment.

This isn't a role where you'll simply inherit requirements and manage documentation.

You'll help define them.

You'll challenge them.

And you'll work with the engineering teams to make sure the spacecraft ultimately delivers what the mission requires.

What you'll be doing

You'll define and manage spacecraft system and subsystem requirements, translating high-level customer and mission needs into clear engineering requirements.

You'll work across satellite subsystems including communications, power, propulsion and other spacecraft systems, ensuring everything comes together at system level.

You'll collaborate closely with hardware and software engineers to refine technical solutions and resolve system-level challenges.

  • Experience turning high-level technical needs into well-defined system and subsystem requirements
  • Experience working directly with customers and multidisciplinary engineering teams
  • Strong written, verbal and visual technical communication skills
  • The ability to communicate complex systems through schematics, sequences and state diagrams

You'll need to be based in the Denver area or willing to relocate to Colorado.

Due to the nature of the work, you'll also need to be a US citizen or US permanent resident.

What would really make you stand out?

Perhaps you've worked with mission budgets covering power, link or delta-V.

Maybe you've used STK or GMAT for orbit and mission analysis.

You might have experience with SolidWorks, DFMEA, UML/SysML or have a working knowledge of C/C++ or Python.

Experience with project and risk management or tools such as Jira and Confluence would also be valuable.

You don't necessarily need every one of these.

What matters most is that you understand spacecraft, can think at system level and enjoy solving complex engineering problems.

Why Apply?

You'll get the opportunity to work on real spacecraft and genuinely influence how they're designed.

This is a fast-paced, delivery-focused engineering environment tackling difficult technical problems and developing next-generation satellite technology.

You'll collaborate with highly experienced international engineering teams and have opportunities for occasional international travel.

The package includes:

  • Salary of $145,000–$195,000
  • Health insurance
  • Matching 401(k)
  • Generous team performance-based bonus
  • Continued technical learning and development

Construction Manager

  • Location: Toronto
  • Type: Permanent
  • Job #8221
  • Salary: NON 150,000

Location: Toronto, Canada

Compensation: Competitive base salary + package + stock options

Environment: Greenfield Infrastructure | Rocket Propulsion | High-Pressure Systems

Build the infrastructure that gets rocket engines firing.

Most Construction Manager roles start with a building.

This one starts with a rocket.

A heavily backed Canadian space company is developing the country's first medium-lift launch vehicle and before that vehicle can ever reach orbit, the infrastructure needed to develop, test and qualify its propulsion systems has to be built.

That means test facilities. High-pressure systems. Cryogenic infrastructure. Process piping. Utilities. Roads. Heavy civil works. Buildings. And ultimately, the facilities where a 725 kN rocket engine will be put through its paces.

We are looking for the Construction Manager who will turn those plans into reality.

This isn't a role where you'll inherit a finished facility and manage contractors carrying out minor upgrades.

You'll help build it from the ground up.

The mission

The company has assembled engineers and leaders from some of the world's most successful launch, aerospace and technology organisations, bringing experience from SpaceX, Blue Origin, Rocket Lab, ArianeGroup, Pangea Propulsion, Tesla, MDA and others.

The engineering philosophy is deliberately pragmatic: use proven technology, move quickly, test early and often, and discover problems on the test stand rather than on the launch pad.

That philosophy extends to the infrastructure programme.

Engineering will define what needs to be built.

Your job is to make sure it actually gets built — safely, correctly and on schedule.

You'll take engineered designs and turn them into operational facilities, owning construction execution from site mobilisation through to inspection, commissioning and final handover.

On a programme like this, construction isn't supporting the company schedule.

Construction is the company schedule.

What you'll own

You'll be the person responsible for execution in the field.

You'll select, onboard and manage general contractors and specialist trades across civil, structural, mechanical and electrical workstreams.

You'll own sequencing and daily site coordination, run contractor meetings, monitor progress and make sure commitments actually turn into completed work.

You'll have the authority to challenge contractors on schedule, cost, quality and safety — and the judgement to know the difference between a genuine constructability problem and an unnecessary change order.

You'll also:

  • Own construction execution from mobilisation through closeout.
  • Establish and enforce the site safety programme.
  • Manage general contractors and specialist trade contractors.
  • Coordinate multiple concurrent civil, structural, mechanical and electrical workstreams.
  • Provide constructability, cost and schedule input during design reviews.
  • Raise RFIs and field changes before problems become expensive.
  • Coordinate inspections and interactions with authorities having jurisdiction.
  • Maintain the QA/QC and inspection records required for system acceptance.
  • Verify contractor progress and support payment certification.
  • Track construction cost and schedule against the programme baseline.
  • Drive punch lists and deficiency closeout.
  • Manage the handover of as-builts, O&M manuals, warranties and training.
  • Take completed infrastructure through commissioning and into Facilities.

The infrastructure is different

You don't need to have built a rocket test stand before.

But you do need to be comfortable around serious industrial infrastructure.

The programme will involve environments where pressure systems, process piping, hazardous fluids and potentially cryogenic systems mean construction quality isn't simply about whether something looks right.

It has to work.

And it has to work safely.

Experience with propulsion facilities, test stands, high-pressure systems or cryogenic installations would therefore be extremely valuable, but we're equally interested in people coming from adjacent industries such as aerospace, energy, oil & gas, chemical processing, heavy industrial, advanced manufacturing or major infrastructure.

If you've built complicated facilities where mechanical systems matter as much as concrete and steel, we want to hear from you.

You'll work as part of a deliberately lean team

This isn't a large corporate infrastructure department with layers of people between engineering and construction.

The model is simple:

Engineering defines it.

Procurement buys it.

Construction builds it.

Facilities runs it.

You'll work directly with the Infrastructure Engineering Program Manager, who owns the technical baseline, and the Facilities Manager, who will ultimately inherit what you build.

Accountability will be clear, but in a startup environment nobody operates inside a narrow box.

If something needs solving, you'll be expected to get involved.

What we're looking for

We're looking for someone who has spent meaningful time on construction sites, not someone whose experience has primarily been managing projects from an office.

You'll ideally bring:

  • 8+ years delivering industrial, heavy civil or complex institutional construction projects.
  • Direct responsibility for general contractors and trade contractors.
  • Experience coordinating civil, structural, mechanical and electrical disciplines simultaneously.
  • Strong practical knowledge of construction safety legislation and site responsibilities.
  • The ability to confidently interpret engineering drawings and specifications.
  • Experience managing construction schedules, costs, changes and project closeout.
  • Strong contractor management and commercial judgement.
  • The confidence to challenge problems early rather than allow them to become delays later.
  • Comfort working in a fast-moving environment where some of the processes are still being created.

A degree or diploma in Civil Engineering, Construction Management or a related discipline would be useful, although a strong building-trade background combined with substantial supervisory and project leadership experience can be equally relevant.

Gold Seal Certification, CET, P.Eng or equivalent credentials would also be advantageous.

Particularly interesting experience

We'd be especially interested in speaking with people who have worked with:

  • Greenfield industrial site development
  • Earthworks, utilities and roads
  • Process piping
  • Pressure systems
  • Cryogenic installations
  • Propulsion or engine test facilities
  • Hazardous fluid systems
  • ASME B31.3 / CSA B51 environments
  • Welding inspection and pressure testing
  • Ontario building and fire codes
  • OHSA constructor responsibilities
  • Complex mechanical infrastructure

Why join?

Because very few Construction Managers get the opportunity to point at a functioning rocket test facility several years from now and say:

“I built that.”

The company has already secured more than $20 million in funding during its first four months, including significant backing from Canada's Department of National Defence.

Now comes the difficult part.

Turning funding, engineering and ambition into physical infrastructure.

If you enjoy greenfield projects, like being close to the work and want genuine ownership rather than simply administering somebody else's construction programme, this is an opportunity to build something that doesn't currently exist.

And what gets built here will ultimately help put a Canadian launch vehicle into orbit.

On top of all of this you will receive a highly competitive package which includes six weeks holiday and lucrative stock options.
