Job description

Overview

Thornton Tomasetti applies engineering and scientific principles to solve the world’s challenges. An independent organization of creative thinkers and innovative doers collaborating from offices worldwide, our mission is to bring our clients' ideas to life and, in the process, lay the groundwork for a better, more resilient future. We provide support and opportunities to our employees to achieve their full potential and cultivate a rewarding career.

Our Construction Engineering practice helps developers, contractors, designers, fabricators, and erectors efficiently and effectively move projects from initial concept to completion through early involvement in the design process. We are a leading fundamental change in how the AEC community approaches project delivery. Our trademarked Advanced Project Delivery (APD) service brings construction engineering and detailing into the early phases of design. This early integration of structural design and detailing gives contractors more detailed information months sooner than with conventional delivery.

The Role

We are seeking a talented Structural Project Engineer for our Construction Engineering Practice. The Project Engineer will be involved in structural steel connection design and temporary stability analysis. The day-to-day activities will primarily include the design of structural steel connections that range from simple shear connections to connections with multiple members framing into single connection points with complicated load paths that must be analyzed. Temporary stability analysis and design involve analysis of alternate load paths through a partially erected steel structure and the design of temporary bracing for its stability during steel erection. Candidates should have experience in medium to large-sized projects such as cultural buildings, office buildings, health care and research facilities, stadiums, arenas, and industrial structures.

Responsibilities

• Structural analysis and design, with emphasis on detailing of steel connections.
• Responsible for providing direction, coordination, planning, integration and completion of engineering, Advanced Project Delivery (APD) and/or connection design projects.
• Coordination of design and detail work with in-house engineering staff, Tekla modelers, as well as other design professionals.
• Manage project design and deliverables as well as other design team members, supervise the work of engineers and modelers, and direct project staff in preparing contract documents such as drawings and specifications.
• Communication with clients to understand the project requirements.
• Plan and formulate engineering program and organize project staff according to project requirements.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or Architecture. Master’s degree in structural engineering is preferred.
• 4+ years of experience delivering complex technical design projects with a minimum of 2 years of experience in the design of steel connections.
• Professional Engineer and/or SE License, or the ability to obtain a license, preferred.
• Working knowledge of current industry software, such as SAP2000, ETABS, RAM, Risa3-D, PCA Software, Revit, and AutoCAD.
• Knowledge of Tekla Structures preferred, but not necessary.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
