Aerospace System Safety Engineer

LGM Group, a specialist in the management and engineering of major projects, has, 30 years after its creation, more than 1,500 employees across 5 continents.

With offices in Montreal and Toronto, LGM North America, a subsidiary of LGM Group, positions itself as a true support partner to designers and operators of major industrial systems (rail, aeronautics, naval, energy), providing expertise in Reliability, Availability, Maintainability and Safety (RAMS), Systems Engineering, Integrated Logistics Support, Technical Writing, and Project Management.

Passionate about technical and human challenges, we are involved in numerous major projects, particularly in public transit, that will have a significant impact on sustainable mobility in Canada.

To support our strong growth, we are looking for an Aerospace System Safety Engineer, autonomous and capable of supporting the design, assessment, and validation of complex safety-critical systems.
