Responsibilities

• Familiarity with and utilizing department design and drafting standards.
• Familiarity with project scope, specifications and design criteria upon assignment to a project task team.
• Developing conceptual layouts and cost studies as necessary to determine the simplest, most efficient approach to solving engineering tasks at hand.
• Producing estimate level preliminary designs and material take-offs suitable for the level of the estimate being performed on a project.
• Producing detail design calculations and sketches for materials of construction associated with the project.
• Checking calculations made by other engineers to ensure accuracy, conformance to codes, specifications, design criteria and conformance to good engineering practice.
• Assisting the drafting group in resolving routine layout and detailing problems.
• Consulting with design leaders from other disciplines to ensure the smooth flow of vital information necessary for the scheduled completion of the project.
• Advising the senior engineer concerning design or scope changes, which have been identified.
• Assisting other engineers in developing and assembling scopes, drawings and specifications into a “package”, enabling civil/structural purchase inquiries to be issued for procurement of materials or subcontract pricing.
• 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 necessary to gather field data, check tie-ins and provide construction support.
• Providing technical guidance to less experienced drafting and engineering personnel in the department.
• Able to lead small to medium size teams in coordinating civil/structural efforts and keeping the team focused on scope, schedule and budget.
• Developing small work sharing packages for interoffice execution support.

Requirements

• 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.
• 3+ 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 the discipline specific methods, practices and techniques required to engineer, design and construct process and manufacturing projects.
• Able to lead a small to medium team to deliver on commitments.
• Working knowledge of CAD software, either AutoCAD, Microstation or both.
• Proficient in the use of Microsoft Word, Excel and Outlook.
• Good communication skills, both verbal and written.
• Virtual team skills and cross divisional relationships are developed and able to provide interoffice execution support with general supervision.
