Structural Engineer

Use of RISA 3D, vendor software, KC Developed Programs and other in-house built analytical tools to perform and present structural calculations of runway structures conforming to the specifications of AISC/ASCE/CSA/CMAA. Occasionally support sales and offer support during the quotation phase of complex projects to provide guidance on design options during the quotation stage.

Qualifications: 

• Bachelor's degree in Structural or Civil Engineering
• Have an EIT certification, with plans or desire to obtain a PE license
• 3-5 years of related industry experience
• Knowledge of ASCE, IBE codes and seismic conditions
• Knowledge of AISC/CSA and CMAA is considered an asset
• Experience in both Microsoft excel (can perform complex functions) and CAD programs
• Experience with electric overhead traveling (EOT) cranes is an asset but not required.

Responsibilities: 

• Perform engineering calculations to compute the stresses developed in a crane runway structure. Knowledge of different static, dynamic and fatigue failure theories based on stress life approach is required to compute the allowable stresses according to applicable industry standards.
• Evaluate the static/dynamic strength and fatigue life of structural steel runway structures for the United States and Canada.
• Use of RISA 3D, vendor software, KC Developed Programs and other in-house built analytical tools to perform and present structural calculations of runway structures conforming to the specifications of AISC/ASCE/CSA/CMAA. The ability to perform calculations is necessary to validate a calculation using a secondary/independent method of analysis.
• Knowledge on ASCE, IBC codes is a must, including seismic conditions
• Support customers and team members as an expert when troubleshooting issues that arise onsite during installation, commissioning or the warranty period of a project
• Occasionally support sales and offer support during the quotation phase of complex projects to provide guidance on design options during the quotation stage
• Participate in continuous improvement efforts
