Job summary

US Tech Solutions in Charlotte, NC is seeking a Senior Structural Engineer to lead owner-side reviews of heavy industrial projects, focusing on structural design reviews, foundations, tank systems, seismic and wind considerations, and multidisciplinary coordination.

The role requires 10+ years of heavy industrial experience, a PE license, proficiency with structural analysis tools (RISA, STAAD, SAP2000, ETABS, SACS, GT STRUDL), and a collaborative, detail-oriented approach.

Qualifications

10+ years of heavy industrial experience.
Professional Engineer license in Civil or Structural Engineering.
Ability to review vendor calculations, IFC drawings, specifications, QA/QC documentation.

Responsibilities

Review structural engineering designs, calculations, drawings, specifications, and vendor deliverables for heavy industrial and Client-related projects.
Evaluate design assumptions, identify missing load cases, provide actionable comments, and assess proposed corrective measures for non-conformance items.
Support review of full containment Client tank systems, including secondary concrete containment, cryogenic concrete behavior, prestressed concrete tanks, thermal gradient effects, pile and pile cap foundations, ringwall foundations, settlement criteria, leak containment, tank uplift, and overturning.
Review seismic engineering considerations, including site-specific response spectra, SSE/OBE/ALE earthquake definitions, soil-structure interaction, dynamic foundation analysis, equipment anchorage, response spectrum analysis, time-history analysis, Client tank seismic loads, and pipe rack seismic performance.
Evaluate wind engineering requirements, including ASCE wind methodologies, hurricane design, open-terrain exposure effects, pipe rack wind loading, large modular building design, cladding pressures, fatigue from cyclic wind loading, and construction-stage wind vulnerability.
Review and interpret geotechnical recommendations related to borehole logs, CPT data, soil improvement designs, vibro-compaction, stone columns, deep soil mixing, driven piles, drilled shafts, settlement predictions, and soil liquefaction.
Support review of heavy foundation designs, including dynamic equipment foundations, cryogenic heat exchanger foundations, pipe bridge foundations, modularized equipment foundations, at-grade slabs, frost walls, and sound/vapor barrier wall foundations.
Review structural steel designs for pipe racks, equipment support structures, access platforms, cable tray supports, blast-resistant structures, and material impacts related to fire or cryogenic exposure.
Evaluate construction engineering plans and temporary conditions, including temporary bracing, module shipping loads, module lifting loads and plans, heavy haul routes, jack-and-skid operations, and temporary foundations.
Coordinate structural scope and technical interfaces with process, mechanical, piping, electrical, controls, fire protection, and geotechnical disciplines.
Support modularization-related reviews, including fabrication-yard design, transportation analysis, lift engineering, module interface structures, and modular building systems.
Consider cost and constructability impacts related to concrete quantities, structural steel quantities, contractor productivity, fabrication constraints, schedule impacts, and long-lead materials.
Ensure structural reviews align with applicable Client, structural, seismic, wind, concrete, steel, tank, welding, building code, and regulatory standards.
