• We expect everyone on the team to assume ownership of the project’s goals and success.
• Design and analyze structural systems for building cores, shells, and foundations, including steel, concrete, and masonry elements.
• Prepare structural drawings, specifications, and calculations in compliance with applicable codes (IBC, ACI, AISC).
• Coordinate with architects and other disciplines (mechanical, electrical, civil) to integrate structural design into overall facility plans.
• Review shop drawings, respond to RFIs, and provide construction phase support.

Who You Are

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Structural or Civil Engineering.
• 0-1 years of experience in structural design for facilities or industrial projects.
