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.

- 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.
