POSITION OVERVIEW – Civil Engineer I

You’ll be a Customer Drawing Engineer supporting the heavy-duty power plant engineering team. Day to day, that means calculating and documenting the engineering forces and moments, mass, and center of gravity (CoG) where the turbine-generator connects to customer interfaces such as foundations and piping. You’ll also help update standard work procedures and work with stakeholders across teams to find and carry out improvements. This role is a strong fit for an early-career civil engineer who understands structural foundations and building codes, is detail-oriented, and is eager to grow on large-scale power generation equipment.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Calculate and document engineering forces and moments from the turbine-generator to customer interfaces (piping, foundation, etc.)
• Calculate and document mass and center of gravity (CoG) data for customer interface drawings
• Prepare and maintain customer drawings and supporting engineering documentation
• Update standard work procedures
• Identify and implement continuous improvement opportunities
• Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders to align on customer interface requirements

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS/SKILLS

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering (BSCE) required
• 0–3+ years of experience required
• Working knowledge of basic mechanical design principles, including forces and moments and free body diagrams (FBDs)
• Knowledge of structural foundation and building codes
• Strong attention to detail and documentation skills
• Ability to collaborate with varied stakeholders

MUST HAVE

• Structural Foundation / Building Codes
• Forces & Moments / Free Body Diagrams
• Mechanical Design Principles
