Job Level

Senior

About the role

  • Develop and design gravity and lateral structural systems for mission-critical facilities, including foundations, steel and concrete superstructures, and wind- and seismic-resisting systems.
  • Perform advanced structural analysis and design, including load determination and combinations (dead, live, wind, seismic, snow, equipment, and thermal loads), load path development, and load takedown.
  • Conduct finite element analysis and advanced modeling for complex structural systems and atypical geometries.
  • Design foundations and substructures, including shallow and deep foundations, slab-on-grade systems, and mat foundations, considering geotechnical constraints and bearing capacity.
  • Address mission-critical structural requirements such as high equipment loads, vibration control, structural robustness and redundancy, and phased construction or expansion of live facilities.
  • Prepare and review engineering calculations, technical reports, design criteria, schematic designs, and detailed construction documents.
  • Act as Lead Structural Engineer and, where applicable, Engineer of Record, responsible for technical direction, code compliance, and overall design integrity.
  • Review and approve calculations, models, and drawings prepared by other engineers to ensure quality, consistency, and adherence to standards.
  • Coordinate with architects, MEP engineers, contractors, and fabricators to ensure structural systems integrate seamlessly with building, mechanical, and process requirements.
  • Utilize structural analysis, detailing, and BIM tools (e.g., RISA, ETABS, RAM, Robot, Tekla, SDS2, Revit, AutoCAD) for design, documentation, and interdisciplinary coordination.
  • Participate in design reviews, constructability reviews, and coordination meetings with internal teams and external stakeholders.
  • Provide technical support during construction, including responding to RFIs, reviewing submittals and shop drawings, and performing site visits as required.
  • Mentor and guide middle level engineers, supporting their technical development and ensuring best practices are followed.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Structural Engineering or Civil Engineering with a structural specialization.
  • 10+ years of progressive experience in structural engineering design for building or industrial facilities, including experience with complex structural systems.
  • Strong experience with structural analysis and design using finite element methods and advanced analysis software.
  • High proficiency in structural design and analysis tools such as RISA (strongly preferred), ETABS, RAM, STAAD, Robot, Tekla, SDS2, Revit, and AutoCAD.
  • Demonstrated expertise in structural calculations, including gravity and lateral systems, load combinations, vibration analysis, and foundation design.
  • Deep knowledge of building codes and standards such as IBC, ASCE 7, AISC, and ACI.
  • Experience working with steel and reinforced concrete structures; experience with industrial or mission-critical facilities is a strong asset.
  • Ability to evaluate and integrate geotechnical information into structural design, including bearing capacity and settlement considerations.
  • Licensed Professional Engineer (PE) in the US - required.
  • Proven ability to lead structural design efforts, provide technical oversight, and take responsibility for design quality and compliance.
  • Strong coordination skills and experience working in multidisciplinary project teams.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Willingness to travel periodically to project and client sites across the United States, as required (Utah, Arizona, Nevada, California, Texas, Colorado, Virginia, other states).
  • A proactive, detail-oriented mindset with a strong sense of technical ownership and accountability.
  • Authorization to work in the United States
