• Comprehensive Benefits: Healthcare benefits including medical, dental, and vision coverage.

• Experience: 6+ years of professional experience in EPC or industrial environments (non-residential or light commercial).
• Technical Skills: Recent, hands-on structural design calculations and analysis with steel, concrete, and foundations.
• Software Proficiency: Strong skills in STAAD, RISA-3D, and Mathcad.

Key Responsibilities:

• Execute and review design calculations for foundations, concrete, and steel structures.
• Develop specifications, analyze structural systems, and solve complex engineering problems.
• Collaborate with project management, interdisciplinary teams, and vendors to ensure technical alignment.
• Support procurement and construction through field changes, submittals, and RFIs.
• Contribute to cost, scope, and schedule compliance while maintaining quality standards.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Civil or Structural Engineering.

Experience:

• Mid-Level: 6+ years of experience (PE preferred).
• Senior Level: 10+ years of experience (PE preferred).
• Knowledge: Familiarity with DOE standards, federal/state/local building codes, and NQA-1 is a plus.
• Sector Experience: EPC experience in nuclear, government, or regulated industrial sectors is highly valued.
