Hiring Opportunity: Columbus Ohio

Our client is looking to hire a Structural Designer for their Columbus Facility! Our client is a leader in solving air pollution control problems for a large variety of industrial clients.

The Structural Designer would be responsible for producing structural designs, final layouts and assembly drawings, and working closely with engineers to review AutoCAD Drawings.

Qualified candidates would need experience with Structural Steel and Concrete, AutoCAD, and Design experience.



Job Responsibilities:

- Produce detailed structural designs, general arrangement drawings, final layouts, and assembly drawings for air pollution control systems, including electrostatic precipitators, regenerative thermal oxidizers (RTOs), fabric filters (baghouses), and flue gas duct systems.
- Develop 2D and 3D models using AutoCAD and other CAD software to support fabrication, installation, and construction activities.
- Work closely with structural and mechanical engineers to review and interpret design requirements, ensuring drawings comply with project specifications and engineering standards.
- Review and revise AutoCAD drawings based on engineering markups, internal quality checks, and client feedback.
Prepare fabrication drawings including steel structures, platforms, ladders, supports, ductwork, hoppers, and equipment foundations.
- Coordinate with multidisciplinary teams (process, mechanical, electrical, and civil) to ensure proper integration of structural components within overall system layouts.
- Perform material take-offs and assist in preparing bills of materials for procurement and cost estimation.
- Ensure designs comply with applicable industry codes, standards, and safety regulations (e.g., structural steel standards, local building codes, and environmental compliance requirements).
- Support stress analysis and load calculations by incorporating engineering inputs into detailed structural drawings.
- Conduct drawing checks and maintain revision control in accordance with company quality management procedures.
- Assist in resolving design issues during fabrication and site installation by providing technical drawing clarifications and updates.
- Participate in design review meetings and contribute to continuous improvement of drafting standards and design workflows.
