Structural Engineering

Position Summary

As a Structural Engineering Professional, you will be an integral member of the design team, responsible for performing a significant portion of structural analysis and design for our projects. You will need strong communication and interpersonal skills as you work closely with your Structural Lead, Structural Engineers, Structural Designers, and other disciplines. As part of this team, you will help develop design concepts, complete the analysis and design, and work with our Designers to communicate structural requirements on design documents and in the model.

You are expected to have a solid foundation in the fundamentals of Structural Engineering, knowledge of multiple subject areas, experience with US building codes including seismic provisions, and an understanding of how structural design integrates with and impacts other disciplines. You will also be building an understanding of business trends and industry issues and challenges. This position may require you to serve as a Lead Structural Engineer for medium-sized projects or as a Sub Lead for larger projects. Your opportunities for career growth will be limited only by your own motivation, capabilities, and attitude.

Duties and Responsibilities

• Perform all conventional aspects of structural engineering analysis and design with little or no supervision.
• Plan and conduct work requiring judgment in the independent evaluation, selection, and adaptation of engineering techniques, procedures, and criteria.
• Exercise sound engineering judgment and problem-solving skills, seeking guidance or confirmation when questions arise.
• Possess strong knowledge of principles and practices of lateral analysis and design (wind and seismic), including the ability to apply required provisions of the building code.
• Exhibit a high level of attention to detail and quality control.
• Commit to checking your own work and reaching out to peers and seniors for guidance when questions arise.
• Perform calculation checking of other engineers' work.
• Take responsibility for managing workload, making and keeping commitments, and taking full ownership of assigned work.
• Work to meet schedule, budget, and quality requirements, identifying scope changes and escalating them when necessary.
• Provide technical guidance, coaching, and mentorship to designers/drafters and less experienced engineers.
• Be proactive in advancing workflows, systems, and tools within the structural discipline; embrace emerging technologies.

Working Conditions and Requirements

• Able to perform field walks unless mobility challenged; this may include climbing ladders, crawling under raised access floors, or walking/standing for extended periods.
• This position is considered hybrid/remote and may require you to work in the nearest local office (at least 2 days/week) or from your home in the USA Southeast Region (multiple offices based in AL, AR, DE, FL, GA, KS, KY, LA, MD, MO, MS, NC, OK, SC, TN, TX, VA) or Canada.
• Employee must provide internet service at home to effectively meet project performance requirements.
