Engineering Design & Analysis
Perform structural analysis and design of steel, concrete, and concrete masonry structures for u ti lity and industrial facilities.
Design foundations, steel framing, equipment supports, control buildings, and miscellaneous structural components for electric substations, gas regulator stations, and industrial plants.
Evaluate existing structures and foundations for equipment upgrades, expansion, or life-extension projects.
Apply applicable codes and standards, including AISC, ACI, ASCE, IBC, and utility-specific design criteria.
Prepare calculations, sketches, and design narratives to support engineering decisions.

Project Support & Coordination

Coordinate structural designs with electrical, mechanical, civil, and piping disciplines.
Support construction activities by responding to RFIs, reviewing shop drawings, and providing field observations as required.
Assist with cost estimates, schedules, and constructability reviews.
Participate in client meetings and technical discussions under the guidance of senior engineering staff. Documentation & Deliverables
Develop and review construc tio n drawings, structural details, and specifica tio ns.
Ensure all deliverables meet quality control procedures, project requirements, and regulatory standards.
Maintain accurate and well-organized project documentation.

Safety & Compliance
Incorporate safety-in-design principles related to industrial and utility environments.
Support compliance with OSHA, utility owner standards, and industry best practices.
Consider environmental loads, seismic requirements, and opera ti onal constraints in all designs.

Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering or Structural Engineering from an ABET-accredited program.
Approximately 2-10 years of structural engineering experience, with a strong focus on u ti lity and industrial facilities.
Demonstrated experience with:

• Steel Structures
• Concrete Foundations
• Electric Substations (control buildings, equipment foundations)
• Steel mill or heavy industrial structures
• Natural gas regulator and metering stations

Proficiency with structural analysis and design software (e.g., STAAD, SAP2000, RISA, RAM, or similar).
Experience producing construction drawings using AutoCAD and/or MicroStation.
Strong knowledge of U.S. structural design codes and standards.
Effective wri tt en and verbal communication skills.

• Surveying

Preferred Qualifica ti ons

Engineer-in-Training (EIT)
Experience working directly with u ti lity owners and industrial clients

Familiarity with retrofit and brownfield projects.
Knowledge of equipment-induced loading in industrial environments.
Field experience supporting construction, commissioning, or inspec ti ons.
