Shape the Future of Digital Engineering at BPA

What if your next role gave you the opportunity not only to advance BIM practices, but to directly influence how a national engineering firm designs, collaborates, and delivers its projects?

BPA is looking for a Director, BIM to lead the evolution of our BIM practices and digital production tools across Canada.

Reporting to the Vice President, Operational Excellence, you will play a strategic role at the intersection of engineering, technology, and operations.

Your mandate: define the vision, mobilize teams, and turn that vision into practical solutions that improve the performance of our projects and our people.

You will act as a strategic bridge between Engineering, Information Technology (IT), and Software Development, helping evolve the way we work and positioning BPA as a leader in digital innovation and operational efficiency.

Why this role is different
