How much do graduate engineering jobs pay per year?
What is the difference between Graduate Engineering vs Mechanical Engineering?
| Aspect | Graduate Engineering | Mechanical Engineering |
|---|---|---|
| Qualifications | Typically requires a bachelor's degree in engineering or related field | Requires a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, often with licensure options |
| Work Environment | Entry-level roles in various industries, including manufacturing, construction, and technology | Design, analysis, and manufacturing in industries like automotive, aerospace, and energy |
| Employer Usage | Employers hire graduate engineers for training and development programs | Employers seek mechanical engineers for product design, testing, and maintenance |
Graduate Engineering is an entry-level role for those with an engineering degree, often across multiple disciplines, while Mechanical Engineering is a specialized field focusing on designing and manufacturing mechanical systems. Both roles require similar educational backgrounds but differ in focus and career paths.

Assist in developing and maintaining project schedules, budgets, risk registers, action logs, and project reporting tools.
Support project controls activities, including cost tracking, schedule monitoring, resource planning, and performance reporting.
Participate in client, consultant, contractor, and stakeholder meetings and prepare meeting minutes, action items, and follow-up documentation.
Assist with project governance, document control, quality management, and project management system administration.
Support coordination with transit agencies, municipalities, utility companies, regulatory authorities, contractors, and other project stakeholders.
Contribute to procurement activities, including preparation of Requests for Proposals (RFPs), technical submissions, bid evaluations, and contract documentation.
Prepare project presentations, dashboards, status reports, and other client-facing materials.
Assist in proposal preparation, business development initiatives, market research, and strategic pursuits within the rail and transit sector.
Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives, lessons learned, digital delivery processes, and the implementation of innovative project management tools.
What you will bring to the Team
- Bachelor's degree in civil engineering, Transportation Engineering, Construction Engineering, Engineering Management
- 0 to 2 years of experience
- Registered or ability to obtain a Professional Engineering License in due time
- Strong interest in project management, project controls, and coordination of major infrastructure programs.

- Excellent organizational, communication, interpersonal, and problem-solving skills.
- Ability to manage multiple priorities and work effectively in a collaborative multidisciplinary environment.
- Strong Knowledge of Power BI, Primavera P6, MS Project, SharePoint, or similar project management tools are considered an asset.
- Knowledge of rail, transit, transportation, or public infrastructure projects is considered an asset.
- Demonstrated initiative, adaptability, professionalism, and a strong desire to develop into a future Project Manager within the Rail & Transit industry.
- Valid driver's license and access to a vehicle.
