Structural Engineer - Entry/Mid-Level

Target start date: Summer 2027.

About the role

As a member of an engineering and design team, you will work on a wide range of power, energy, and industrial-related projects. You will create calculations to develop structural design documents and prepare technical specifications. Additionally, you will conduct structural analyses, including complex loading conditions such as wind, seismic, and pressurization. Using state-of-the-art computer tools, you will perform structural analysis and design of steel frames, connections, concrete members, equipment and piping supports, and foundations.

There is potential for travel to client and vendor offices for design reviews and to plant site locations for structural condition assessments, construction coordination, and field verification of designs. This position is based on a hybrid work schedule, requiring in-office work 3 days per week.

Responsibilities

• Apply knowledge of materials, structural analysis, structural steel design, and reinforced concrete design.
• Develop structural design documents and prepare technical specifications.
• Conduct structural analyses for complex loading conditions (e.g., wind, seismic, pressurization).
• Perform structural analysis and design of steel frames, connections, concrete members, equipment and piping supports, and foundations using advanced computer tools.
• Write and provide support documentation for structural engineering calculations.
• Travel to client/vendor offices and plant sites for design reviews, condition assessments, and field verification.
• Solve engineering problems using data, automation, and AI tools to improve workflows, reduce rework, and deliver cost-effective designs.
• Use programming or scripting (e.g., Python, MATLAB, advanced Excel) to automate calculations, design checks, reporting, or data transformation (valued but not required).

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering (Master’s degree preferred) with a strong academic background in structural analysis, structural steel design, and reinforced concrete design.
• 0–2 years of experience in structural design engineering.
• Experience in analysis and design of steel structures and concrete foundations for power plants or heavy industrial facilities.
• Knowledge of structural engineering principles, including loads analysis and design integrity.
• Familiarity with design techniques, tools, and principles for producing technical plans, blueprints, drawings, and models.
• Proficiency with MS Office applications.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Willingness to use modern tools such as automation and AI to solve engineering problems.

Qualifications

• Successful completion of the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam and designation as an Engineer in Training (valued but not required).
• Related engineering internship or co-op work experience (valued but not required).
• Proficiency with tools such as MathCad, STAAD PRO, SAP2000, SAFE, STRUDL, or ANSYS (valued but not required).
• Familiarity with design codes and standards such as IBC, ASCE 7, AISC, and ACI 318 (valued but not required).
• Additional learning in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Software Engineering, or related fields (valued but not required).
