    In addition, you will have to produce abridged and detailed reports in the event of more serious damages. You will also be called to testify in court to share your expert opinion.

    What you bring to the table:*Requirements:

You will need to recreate the sequence of events that led to the loss and validate these steps with up-to-date scientific knowledge. By validating assumptions and testing scenarios as required, you will apply the scientific method to identify the cause of losses. Between 2 and 10 years of relevant experience as a forensic engineer in investigating the origin and causes of fires. A bachelor's degree in electrical or mechanical engineering or relevant applied sciences with at least five years of experience is required. Licensure with a provincial Engineering Association, or eligibility for licensure, is required.
