About the Role

We are seeking Civil / Structural Engineers to join our engineering team in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. This position supports the planning, design, and execution of civil and structural engineering projects for industrial facilities, including new facilities, expansions, equipment installations, infrastructure improvements, and modifications to existing operating plants.

The successful candidate will collaborate with project managers, engineers, designers, clients, surveyors, geotechnical consultants, vendors, fabricators, and construction personnel throughout all phases of project execution.

Responsibilities

• Develop civil and structural engineering designs, calculations, specifications, reports, drawings, and construction documents.
• Design reinforced-concrete foundations for equipment, vessels, tanks, pipe racks, structures, buildings, and packaged systems.
• Design structural-steel framing, platforms, pipe supports, access structures, stairs, ladders, handrails, and miscellaneous industrial structures.
• Perform structural analysis and design for gravity, wind, seismic, equipment, piping, thermal, vibration, and other applicable loads.
• Evaluate existing structures and foundations for new loads, equipment modifications, deterioration, or changes in service; develop repair, reinforcement, and modification solutions.
• Review topographic surveys, geotechnical reports, subsurface information, utility data, and existing facility documentation.
• Coordinate design loads, equipment requirements, anchor-bolt arrangements, support locations, and interface points with mechanical, piping, electrical, instrumentation, and equipment vendors.
• Coordinate civil and structural design requirements with process, mechanical, piping, electrical, instrumentation, architectural, and construction disciplines.
• Participate in site visits, field walkdowns, structural assessments, surveys, constructability reviews, and collection of existing facility information.
• Review vendor, fabricator, surveyor, geotechnical, and subcontractor deliverables for compliance with project requirements.
• Review structural-steel shop drawings, concrete submittals, anchor-bolt plans, reinforcing-steel drawings, and other construction submittals.
• Ensure designs comply with applicable codes, standards, client specifications, permitting requirements, and regulatory criteria.
• Assist project managers with scope development, engineering estimates, schedules, progress tracking, and change management.
• Manage multiple assignments while meeting project schedules, budgets, quality requirements, and client expectations.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, or a related engineering discipline from an accredited college or university.
• Minimum of five years of relevant civil and structural engineering experience.
• Experience supporting industrial, refining, petrochemical, chemical, energy, or manufacturing facilities is strongly preferred.
• Experience designing reinforced-concrete foundations and structural-steel systems for industrial applications.
• Experience with equipment foundations, pipe racks, platforms, buildings, pipe supports, tank foundations, and miscellaneous industrial structures.
• Experience with site development, grading, drainage, paving, stormwater systems, underground utilities, and earthwork design.
• Working knowledge of applicable codes and standards; familiarity with API standards and industrial client specifications is preferred.
• Experience evaluating and modifying existing structures in operating facilities.
• Ability to interpret geotechnical reports, topographic surveys, equipment drawings, piping layouts, structural drawings, and multidisciplinary engineering documents.
• Experience preparing engineering calculations, design drawings, specifications, reports, and construction documents.
• Proficiency with structural-analysis and design software such as STAAD.
• Professional Engineer license or progress toward professional licensure is required.
