Job summary

GTI Energy is seeking a hands-on Structural Engineer to design modular steel structures, large welded assemblies, and containerized systems for high-load environments. You will translate concepts into production-ready designs, work with fabrication teams, and ensure safety and code compliance.

The role involves performing FEA, producing fabrication drawings in SolidWorks/AutoCAD, and collaborating across engineering, fabrication, and QA/QC teams. Travel up to 25% may be required.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil, Structural, or Mechanical Engineering (Master’s preferred).
• 5+ years of experience in structural design for steel structures, welded assemblies, or modular systems.
• Proficiency with FEA tools (RISA, SAP2000, STAAD.Pro, or similar).
• Experience with CAD platforms including SolidWorks and AutoCAD; familiarity with Revit or BIM tools preferred.
• Strong understanding of structural design principles, welding/joint design, corrosion protection, and load path analysis.
• Knowledge of building codes and standards (IBC, AISC, AWS D1.1).
• Excellent problem-solving, documentation, and communication skills.

Responsibilities

• Design modular steel structures, large welded assemblies, platforms, frames, and load-bearing systems for containerized and enclosure-based applications.
• Perform structural analysis using FEA software and hand calculations to evaluate static/dynamic loads, fatigue, seismic, and wind loading.
• Develop engineering drawings, design reports, and technical documentation using SolidWorks, AutoCAD, and Revit/BIM tools.
• Produce BOMs, weld symbols, and fabrication-ready drawings.
• Collaborate with fabrication, quality, and project teams to optimize manufacturability and cost efficiency.
• Support shop drawing reviews, first article builds, and QA/QC testing for structural validation.
• Conduct site assessments, installation support, and structural evaluations of deployed modular systems.
• Ensure designs comply with structural codes and standards (IBC, AISC, AWS D1.1) and support ISO9001 initiatives.
