Develop customized structural support solutions based on project-specific requirements and field conditions.
Utilize structural analysis and design software to evaluate, develop, and validate engineering solutions.
Coordinate with architects, contractors, engineers, and other project stakeholders to address technical challenges and resolve design issues.
Ensure designs meet applicable building codes, industry standards, and project specifications.
Provide engineering support during fabrication, installation, and construction as needed.
Qualifications:
Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
Minimum of 2 years of structural engineering or related design experience.
Experience with structural steel design, load calculations, and connection analysis preferred.
Familiarity with applicable building codes and industry standards, including IBC, ASCE 7, and AISC.
Experience with structural engineering software such as RISA-3D, STAAD.Pro, RAM, or similar platforms preferred.
Proficiency in AutoCAD or comparable engineering design software; Revit experience is a plus.
Strong analytical, technical, and problem-solving skills.
Ability to manage multiple projects, prioritize responsibilities, and collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.
Engineer-in-Training (EIT) certification or Professional Engineer (PE) licensure is beneficial but not required.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
