• Experience designing or analyzing telecommunications towers is preferred.
• Experience with self-supporting lattice towers, guyed towers, monopoles, and tower foundations is preferred.
• Experience evaluating existing towers for revised loading is preferred.
• Experience designing tower modifications or reinforcements is preferred.
• Experience with structural steel, concrete, foundations, and connections is required or strongly preferred.
• Experience providing technical support to field or construction personnel is a plus.
• Experience with Guy Master or comparable structural analysis software is preferred.

Skills & Abilities

• Strong knowledge of structural analysis, load paths, stability, steel, concrete, foundations, soils, and connections.
• Knowledge of macro telecommunications towers, antennas, equipment, and structural attachments.
• Experience with tower modifications, reinforcements, construction, and field installation.
• Experience with Guy Master or comparable structural analysis software.
• Proficiency with AutoCAD and Microsoft Office, particularly Excel.
• Ability to independently solve engineering problems and develop practical, cost-effective solutions.
• Sound engineering judgment and strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, and organizational skills.
• Ability to manage multiple projects, meet schedules, and collaborate across engineering, field, and construction teams.
• Ability to provide technical guidance and mentor less-experienced engineers.
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to safe, reliable, and quality engineering solutions.

Physical Requirements: (Physical requirements are to be listed here. Specify job-appropriate physical requirements in a few bullets)

• Position works primarily in an office environment; however, occasionally required to travel to customer and vendor locations
• Ability to use hand tools for light assembly/modification of test and prototype articles for third party or in-house lab work.
• Position requires working on a computer, phone and with general office equipment
• Regularly required to use hands to work on the computer, finger, handle, or grasp, reach with hands and arms
• Must have the ability to concentrate on tasks for long periods of time and be able to observe and receive information from all relevant sources
• Frequently lift and/or move up to 10 pounds and occasionally lift and/or move up to 25 pounds
• Distant Vision: must be 20/40 corrected or uncorrected bilaterally
• Approximately 10% travel is required.
