About the role

As part of a multidisciplinary team, you will support the design and delivery of complex industrial projects, develop construction documents, perform structural analysis, and collaborate with engineers across multiple disciplines. A major component of our design process relies on Building Information Modeling (BIM), particularly Autodesk Revit Structural, used to communicate 3-D design to project teams, owners, and construction professionals. There is significant latitude for decision-making, and we expect everyone on the team to assume ownership of the project's goals and success.

Responsibilities

• Design and analyze structural systems for building cores, shells, and foundations, including steel, concrete, and masonry elements.
• Prepare structural drawings, specifications, and calculations in compliance with applicable codes (IBC, ACI, AISC).
• Coordinate with architects and other disciplines (mechanical, electrical, civil) to integrate structural design into overall facility plans.
• Review shop drawings, respond to RFIs, and provide construction phase support.
• Perform load calculations, seismic/wind analysis, and evaluate structural integrity for retrofits and expansions.
• Support permitting and regulatory compliance; attend client and design coordination meetings.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Structural or Civil Engineering.
• 3+ years of experience in structural design for facilities or industrial projects.
• Proficient in structural analysis and design software, including STAAD, RAM, Risa, AutoCAD, Revit, and 2D drafting.
• Knowledge of building codes and standards; strong technical writing and coordination skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• PE license.
• Experience with Navisworks.
• Experience with food & beverage or federal facility projects; familiarity with BIM workflows.
• Previous design and consulting experience.
