Job description

As a member of Garver’s growing Water Design Center, the StructuralEngineer will be responsible for assisting in the development ofStructural Designs in support of various Water Business Line projects. Generally, this responsibility will include structural support as required for a variety of water and wastewater projects, but the majority of the expected assignments will be related to developing structural designs for new water and wastewater treatment plants or improvements to existing water and wastewater treatment facilities.

The Structural Engineer must have a strong knowledge base of engineering principals including concrete, steel, and masonry design. Knowledge of the provisions of the International Building Code and its referenced material codes is preferred. Candidates must have strong technical problem‑solving and critical‑thinking skills, be self‑motivated, enjoy team‑oriented work, and have good oral and written communications. Candidates must have a basic understanding of the multi‑disciplinary practices (i.e. process, surveying, geotechnical, structural, mechanical, electrical, instrumentation & control) required for the implementation of infrastructure capital improvements. Candidates must also have a basic knowledge of finite element modeling using plates and frame elements. Candidates must be proficient with MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Project, and Outlook. Experience with AutoCad, Revit, or Microstation is preferred.

Qualified candidates must have the following capabilities and the ability to perform the following routine functions:

• Be technically competent in aspects of structural engineering.
• Work with a team of multi‑disciplined (civil, process, structural, mechanical, electrical, and I&C) project engineers, design engineers, and BIM technicians in the development of construction plans and specifications for water and wastewater treatment plant projects.
• Work on multiple projects concurrently.
• Assist in the development of project budgets including the development of detailed project instructions, scope of work, level of effort, and associated man‑hour estimates.
• Be responsible for time management and work product quality.
• Keep accurate and up‑to‑date project accounting on all assigned projects.
• Conduct written and oral project reporting for clients and team leaders. Reporting will include project design status, upcoming milestones, project accounting, percent completed, progress reports, etc.
• Assist in the preparation and execution of Quality Assurance and Quality Control Plans for water and wastewater treatment projects.
• Assist with internal and external project workshops.
• Be responsible for continuing education and learning based on project needs, as well as overall needs of the team.

Some travel may be required, as projects may require field work for site assessment of project locations and support during construction.
