Civil Design Engineer

About the role

This role focuses on the structural design of cast-in-place and precast concrete systems, including foundations, pedestals, abutments, retaining walls, and associated structural elements. The Civil Design Engineer performs detailed structural calculations, ensures compliance with relevant codes and standards, and supports multiple concurrent projects in a fast-paced engineering environment.

Responsibilities

• Design cast-in-place concrete foundations, pedestals, abutments, retaining walls, and other structural elements for a variety of projects.
• Design and review precast concrete components, including panels, beams, and other elements, as well as their connection systems.
• Perform structural calculations for anchor systems, embedment's, and base connections to ensure safe and efficient load transfer.
• Analyze steel-to-concrete interfaces and structural load paths to confirm structural integrity and performance.
• Ensure all designs comply with applicable ACI, PCI, and relevant building codes and standards.
• Prepare and review detailed drawings and models using AutoCAD and Civil 3D (and related 3D tools such as SolidWorks as applicable).
• Collaborate with project stakeholders to clarify design requirements, address design issues, and support project delivery.
• Manage a portfolio of approximately 30 to 50 projects, maintaining quality and consistency across all deliverables.
• Work within fast-paced project timelines, typically around three months from project start to completion.
• Collaborate with colleagues in the engineering office and steel shop to align design intent with fabrication and installation requirements.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of design processes, standards, and templates to support company growth.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering or Structural Engineering, or a closely related discipline such as Mechanical Engineering.
• 3–5 years of experience in structural concrete design.
• Hands-on experience with both cast-in-place and precast concrete systems.
• Strong understanding of anchor systems, embedment's, and connection design.
• Ability to analyze steel-to-concrete interfaces and structural load paths.
• Experience using AutoCAD and Civil 3D (or comparable 3D design tools) for structural and civil design.
• Demonstrated capability to manage multiple projects simultaneously, typically 30–50 active projects.
• Comfort working in a fast-paced environment with project durations of around three months from start to finish.
• Working knowledge of ACI, PCI, and relevant building codes and standards.

Qualifications

• Experience with SolidWorks or similar 3D modeling software for structural and connection design.
• Experience in project management, including planning, scheduling, and coordinating deliverables.
• Exposure to steel fabrication or shop environments and understanding of constructability considerations.
• Strong communication skills to collaborate effectively with engineering, fabrication, and field teams.
• Attention to detail and a commitment to producing accurate, code-compliant designs.
• Interest in contributing to a growing engineering organization and adapting to evolving processes.

Skills

• Proficiency in concrete and foundation design, including analysis and detailing.
• Understanding of structural load paths and interface analysis.
• AutoCAD and Civil 3D (or equivalent 3D design tools) proficiency.
• Project management and coordination skills.
• Collaboration and communication skills.
• Detail-oriented and accuracy-focused.
• Adaptability to evolving processes and technologies.
