Designer - Structural

About the role

A Structural Designer within QISG is involved in a variety of engineering projects with a focus on structural design aspects of energy related infrastructure and design-build delivery methods for large-scale energy generation, transmission, and substation-related projects. Collaborating with an in-house, multi-disciplinary engineering and construction team — including civil, structural, geotechnical, construction management, and construction experts — the Structural Designer within QISG plays a crucial role in providing structural design solutions; responsibilities include supporting design production, contributing to the development of construction drawings and specifications, and engineering support during construction.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain 2D & 3D models of structural framing and reinforced concrete using various CAD software.
• Produce detailed design drawings including overall plans, enlarged plans, sections, elevations and details, as well as 3D models developed in collaboration with engineers from conceptual sketches, specifications and engineering calculations while following QISG or client specific standards.
• Work on structural and foundation design aspects from project inception to completion on various infrastructure projects.
• Interface closely with and support project teams with the ability to learn new software and develop new deliverables for varying structural project scopes.
• Communicate across multiple teams and disciplines to prevent design conflicts throughout a project lifecycle.
• Assist engineers in the review of structural steel fabrication drawings and reinforced concrete drawings to verify compliance with design intent and project specifications.
• Research information in catalogs, specifications, corporate standards, or other reference material.
• Demonstrate knowledge of quality control procedures to ensure the highest standards of workmanship.
• Take personal responsibility for the quality and accuracy of their work.
• Learn and apply corporate standard engineering practices.
