Structural Engineer – Modular Steel Systems

Position Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled Structural Engineer to join our engineering team and drive the design, analysis, and validation of modular steel structures.

Key Responsibilities

• Structural Design & Analysis

• Design modular steel structures, large welded assemblies, platforms, frames, and load-bearing systems for containerized and enclosure-based applications
• Perform structural analysis using FEA software and hand calculations to evaluate static and dynamic loads, fatigue, seismic, and wind loading
• Incorporate bridge engineering principles when applicable to long-span or suspended modular systems

• Engineering Documentation

• Develop engineering drawings, design reports, and complete technical documentation using SolidWorks, AutoCAD, and Revit/BIM tools
• Produce accurate bills of materials (BOMs), weld symbols, and fabrication-ready drawings

• Manufacturing Collaboration

• Partner with fabrication, quality, and project teams to ensure structural designs are optimized for manufacturability, cost efficiency, and internal capability
• Support shop drawing reviews, first article builds, and QA/QC testing for structural validation

• Field & Deployment Support

• Conduct site assessments, participate in installation support, and perform structural evaluations of deployed modular systems

• Compliance & Standards

• Ensure all designs comply with applicable structural codes and standards, including IBC, AISC, AWS D1.1, and applicable state regulations
• Support initiatives toward ISO9001 certification and continuous improvement efforts

Requirements

• Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil, Structural, or Mechanical Engineering (Master’s preferred)
• 5+ years of experience in structural design for steel structures, welded assemblies, or modular systems
• Proficiency with FEA tools (RISA, SAP2000, STAAD.Pro, or similar)
• Experience with CAD platforms including SolidWorks and AutoCAD; familiarity with Revit or BIM tools preferred
• Strong understanding of structural design principles, welding/joint design, corrosion protection, and load path analysis
• Knowledge of relevant building codes and standards (IBC, AISC, AWS D1.1)
• Excellent problem-solving, documentation, and communication skills

• Preferred Qualifications

• PE licensure or the ability to obtain within 12 months
• Experience in modular construction, container-based fabrication, or bridge design
• Familiarity with design-for-manufacturing principles and fabrication workflows
• Experience collaborating directly with manufacturing and field installation teams
• Bilingual (English/Spanish) a plus

Benefits & Perks

• Benefits & Perks

• Competitive compensation and benefits package
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) with company match (where applicable)
• Paid Time Off (PTO) and paid holidays
• Sick time in accordance with state and local requirements
• Company-paid life insurance and disability coverage
• Career advancement opportunities within a rapidly growing organization
• Exposure to advanced manufacturing, modular infrastructure, and large-scale industrial projects
• Collaborative, fast-paced environment with strong operational and engineering leadership
• Employee-focused culture centered on safety, quality, accountability, and continuous improvement
