Senior Civil Structural Engineer

About the Role

The Civil Structural Engineer is responsible for performing all aspects of complete design of complex civil/structural engineering assignments. This role requires extensive progressive experience and involves applying advanced engineering techniques and analysis, working under minimal supervision in our Pasadena Office.

Responsibilities

• Familiarity with and utilization of department design and drafting standards.
• Understanding of project scope, specifications, and design criteria upon assignment to a project task team.
• Developing conceptual layouts and cost studies to determine the simplest, most efficient approach to solving engineering tasks.
• Producing estimate-level preliminary designs and material take-offs suitable for the level of the estimate being performed on a project.
• Producing detailed design calculations and sketches for materials of construction, ensuring neat preparation and organization for efficient checking and use by drafters/designers.
• Designing with efficient use of construction materials, emphasizing ease of construction and meeting client expectations.
• Checking calculations made by other engineers for accuracy, conformance to codes, specifications, design criteria, and good engineering practice.
• Assisting the drafting group in resolving routine layout and detailing problems, and providing sufficient sketches and details for completion of engineering drawings.
• Consulting with design leaders from other disciplines to ensure smooth flow of information necessary for project completion.
• Advising senior engineers concerning design or scope changes.
• Assisting in developing and assembling scopes, drawings, and specifications into packages for civil/structural purchase inquiries.
• Reviewing and checking vendor drawings and other discipline drawings for civil/structural input.
• Developing construction specifications.
• Reviewing fabrication drawings and other construction submittals for conformance to engineering drawings and specifications.
• Performing fieldwork to gather data, check tie-ins, and provide construction support.
• Providing technical guidance to less experienced drafting and engineering personnel.
• Leading small to large teams in coordinating civil/structural efforts, keeping the team focused on scope, schedule, and budget.
• Identifying and developing work-sharing packages for interoffice execution support.
• Estimating and scheduling professional service hours and assessing the progress and quality of civil/structural work.

Qualifications

• Bachelor or Master of Science degree in Civil Engineering from an accredited university is required; structural coursework is required for structural engineering positions.
• Professional Engineering registration is highly preferred.
• 10+ years of relevant industrial experience in civil/structural engineering.

Skills

• Knowledge and application of the International Building Code and associated standards (ASCE, AISC, ACI, etc.).
• Expertise with civil/structural analysis software, including operating and interpreting results.
• Knowledge of discipline-specific methods, practices, and techniques required to engineer, design, and construct process and manufacturing projects.
• Ability to lead small to large teams to deliver on commitments.
• Working knowledge of CAD software, either AutoCAD, MicroStation, or both.
• Proficient in Microsoft Word, Excel, and Outlook.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills.
• Experience with virtual teams and cross-divisional relationships, providing interoffice execution leadership and support.

Physical Requirements

• Ability to sit, stand, or walk for long periods of time.

Benefits

• Paid holidays and personal paid time off.
• Medical, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance.
• 401(k) and other benefits for eligible teammates.
