Job description

#jobalert | DIRECT HIRE | STRUCTURAL ENGINEER, PE | PRE-ENGINEERED STRUCTURES | Phoenix, AZ or Tavares, FL (On-Site)

A national manufacturer of custom-engineered structures is adding a licensed Structural Engineer (PE) to its front-end design team. The company has grown quickly through both organic expansion and acquisition, and its in-house engineering group drives every project from first concept to final stamped package. This is a design seat, not a checking seat — the work includes structural systems that have never been built before: multi-story configurations, unusual loading conditions, and first-of-kind assemblies taken from concept through completion. You will own the structural approach on the projects that don't have a template, working shoulder-to-shoulder with design and production teams under one roof. For an engineer who is tired of repeating the same details and wants real design latitude with a licensed stamp behind it, this is that seat.

• Anticipated $130,000–$150,000+, based on experience and active PE licensure
• Full suite of benefits: Health/Dental/Vision, 401(k), PTO
• On-site at one of two U.S. manufacturing locations: Phoenix, AZ or Tavares, FL

Overview

• Own the structural design approach for new and non-standard projects, from concept through stamped submission
• Take first-of-kind and special-interest projects start to finish — multi-story complexes and configurations that have no existing template
• Develop loads and produce complete calculation packages for gravity and lateral systems across wood, cold-formed steel, and structural steel
• Design gravity systems: roof framing members, bearing walls, engineered and built-up beams, clean-span steel trusses, HSS and built-up posts, floor framing, and steel framing members
• Design lateral systems: roof and floor diaphragms, interior and exterior shearwalls, and structural steel portal frames
• Turn early-stage concepts into buildable, code-compliant structures alongside design and production teams
• Carry multiple concurrent projects in a production-paced environment

Preferred Skills and Experience

• Bachelor of Science in Civil or Structural Engineering from an EAC/ABET-accredited university
• Active Professional Engineer (PE) license in civil or structural engineering
• Complete and current NCEES record holder
• California, Alaska, and/or Hawaii licensure, or a demonstrated ability to obtain licensure across multiple states quickly
• Minimum 3 years practicing as a licensed PE, stamping your own calculations
• Track record designing non-standard or first-of-kind structural systems — not only repeat/production details
• Load development and complete calculations for both gravity and lateral systems
• Proficiency with structural analysis software: ENERCALC, Tekla TEDDS, RISA 3D, Woodworks, cold-formed steel design tools, Excel, and Bluebeam Revu
• Working knowledge of IBC, ASCE, NDS, AISC, and AISI
• Wood framing and cold-formed steel design experience
• Multi-story wood design and/or high-wind / high-seismic experience a plus
