Key Responsibilities

• Must have experience in Steel projects/Steel Bridges/Steel Construction/Reinforcement-T section/ I section
• Serve as the structural lead engineer with experience in modular steel construction and prefabricated light gauge steel buildings.
• Develop structural systems for new data center builds and campus expansions.
• Evaluate steel, concrete, and hybrid framing options against program requirements.
• Lead design charrettes and structural feasibility studies at early project phases.
• Perform gravity, lateral, and seismic analysis per ASCE 7, IBC, and ACI/AISC standards.
• Size and detail structural members, connections, and foundation systems.
• Coordinate with geotechnical reports to develop foundation design strategies.
• Design structural interfaces for prefabricated modular units (PMM, skid-mounted MEP).
• Coordinate module sequencing, transport loads, and lifting/rigging requirements.
• Collaborate with modular vendors to validate structural adequacy and tolerance.
• Author and manage structural Revit models to LOD 350/400 standards.
