Structural Designer III (Power Generation / Industrial Projects)
Contract – Birmingham, AL (anticipated 9–12 months with strong potential for extension). Very competitive pay, time-and-a-half for OT, Mob/Demob, and strong per diem.

Join a growing engineering team supporting large-scale power generation and infrastructure projects, including gas turbines, renewables, BESS, substations, and transmission systems. You’ll contribute to the development of construction-ready structural designs that go directly into the field.
Requirements:
  • Associate degree in Engineering Technology, CAD, or related field
  • 5+ years of structural design/drafting experience (typical for this level)
  • Experience in industrial, energy, or infrastructure projects
  • Familiarity with EPC environments or multidisciplinary project teams
  • Strong understanding of structural steel and concrete detailing
  • Proficiency with:
    • AutoCAD (required)
    • Revit, Navisworks, or similar 3D tools (preferred)
  • Ability to interpret vendor equipment drawings and integrate into structural layouts
Responsibilities:
  • Develop construction drawings and structural deliverables for steel and concrete systems
  • Interpret project scope, specifications, and design criteria
  • Review and incorporate vendor and interdisciplinary layouts into structural designs
  • Support material take-offs (MTOs), cost estimates, and preliminary studies
  • Perform field investigations to verify site conditions, clearances, and constructibility
  • Coordinate with civil, mechanical, and electrical teams for integrated design
  • Review and check drawings from other designers and vendors for accuracy and compliance
  • Support construction activities, including site visits and field issue resolution
  • Assist with scheduling and task planning to meet project deadlines
  • Mentor junior designers and support team development
Skills & Competencies:
  • Strong understanding of structural materials, detailing, and construction practices
  • Experience producing accurate, constructible designs for industrial applications
  • Familiarity with EPC workflows and fast-paced project environments
  • Ability to work across multidisciplinary teams and virtual environments
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to meet deadlines
  • Proficient in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook)
Why This Role Stands Out:
  • Work on real power infrastructure projects (not just drafting work)
  • Exposure to gas turbines, substations, renewables, and BESS
  • High-impact role where your designs go directly into construction
  • Growing team with opportunities to mentor and expand responsibilities
  • Strong earning potential with OT + per diem
Additional Info:
  • Occasional travel for field verification and construction support
