Senior Structural Enginer

Position Summary

The successful candidate will be responsible for designing, analyzing, and overseeing the construction of safe and durable structures for a variety of projects, including buildings, bridges, and other infrastructure. This role involves collaborating with architects, contractors, and other professionals to ensure projects meet safety, regulatory, and client requirements. The ideal candidate will have strong technical expertise, proficiency in structural analysis software, and a commitment to delivering high-quality engineering solutions.

Position Specific Responsibilities

• Develop structural designs and perform calculations to ensure structures can withstand environmental and human-induced stresses (e.g., wind, seismic activity, gravity loads).
• Lead or assist in managing structural engineering projects from conceptual design through construction, ensuring adherence to timelines, budgets, and specifications.
• Work closely with architects, contractors, and other engineers to develop and refine design solutions that meet project goals and comply with building codes.
• Conduct on-site inspections to monitor construction progress, verify compliance with design specifications, and ensure structural integrity.
• Prepare detailed structural calculations, drawings, specifications, and reports using computer-aided design (CAD) software (e.g., AutoCAD, Revit, STAAD, or SAP2000).
• Ensure all designs and construction activities comply with local, state, and federal regulations, including Tennessee building codes and standards (e.g., IBC, ASCE, ASTM).
• Conduct feasibility studies and cost estimates to determine project viability and recommend appropriate materials and construction methods.
• Guide and mentor junior engineers or engineering interns, fostering professional development and ensuring quality work.
• Address technical challenges during design and construction phases, providing innovative and practical solutions.

Education and Experience

• Bachelor's degree in Civil/Structural Engineering or Structural Engineering that includes coursework like Prestressed Concrete, Structural Steel, Finite Elements, and Structural Mechanics.
• Proven experience in bridge design, analysis, and inspection.
• Professional Engineer (PE) license in Tennessee or ability to obtain licensure through the company.
• Structural Engineer (SE) licensure is preferred for senior roles.
• Passage of the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam is required for Engineer-in-Training (EIT) status.
• Proficiency in structural analysis software.
• Experience with CAD software (e.g., AutoCAD).
• Knowledge of finite element analysis (FEA) techniques is a plus.
• Strong mathematical, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills for collaboration in a team environment.
• Attention to detail and a commitment to accuracy in design and documentation.
• Familiarity with construction methods, materials, and Tennessee-specific regulations.
• Membership or certification with the Institution of Structural Engineers or similar professional bodies is desirable.
