Job description

Axcess Infrastructure is a specialized engineering firm focused on the design and implementation of Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) solutions for civil infrastructure.

Our engineers combine structural design expertise with hands-on knowledge of composite manufacturing to develop practical, durable solutions for bridges, rail platforms, hydraulic structures, bridge protection systems, building facades, and other specialty applications.

We provide professional engineering, structural design, consulting, product development, inspection, and testing support to infrastructure owners, manufacturers, contractors, and government agencies across North America.

At Axcess, we are helping advance the use of lightweight, corrosion-resistant composite materials to create infrastructure that is stronger, more durable, and built for long-term performance.

Role Description

Axcess Infrastructure is seeking a Structural Engineer to support the design and development of innovative civil infrastructure systems using both conventional materials and advanced fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites. In this role, you will perform structural analysis and design for complex infrastructure projects such as bridges, rail platforms, hydraulic structures, and protective systems, while developing calculations, reports, 3D CAD models, and engineering drawings. You will use finite element analysis (FEA) tools and structural modeling software to evaluate performance, ensure code compliance, and support design decisions. The role involves close collaboration with internal engineers, clients, fabricators, and project partners, as well as occasional field investigations. The ideal candidate has 3-7 years of structural engineering experience, strong fundamentals in steel, concrete, or timber design, and proficiency with CAD and FEA tools, with FRP experience considered a plus but not required. This position offers the opportunity to work on non-traditional infrastructure challenges where durability, constructability, and advanced materials play a central role in engineering solutions.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, or a related engineering discipline; Master's degree preferred.
• 3-7 years of professional experience in structural design and analysis.
• Professional Engineer (PE) license preferred; EIT candidates who are on track to obtain their PE within approximately 12 months will also be considered.
• Strong knowledge of structural engineering principles and experience designing with materials such as steel, reinforced concrete, and timber.
• Experience performing finite element analysis (FEA) using software such as Abaqus, ANSYS, or equivalent.
• Proficiency with CAD and 3D modeling software such as AutoCAD, Autodesk Inventor, Fusion, SolidWorks, or similar platforms.
• Ability to develop and review structural calculations, engineering drawings, specifications, and technical reports.
• Experience with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) or composite materials is a plus, but not required.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, technical writing, and communication skills.
• Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with engineers, clients, fabricators, and project partners.
• Willingness to participate in occasional field investigations and site visits.
