Professional Engineer (PE)

Superior Rigging and Erecting Co•Atlanta, GA

10h•Hybrid

About The Position

Superior Rigging and Erecting is seeking a licensed Professional Engineer (PE) to support and lead engineering efforts for complex lifting, rigging, steel erection, transportation, and specialty construction projects throughout the Southeast. This is not a traditional desk-based engineering position. The successful candidate will work directly with operations leaders, project managers, crane operators, rigging supervisors, safety professionals, and executive leadership to develop engineered solutions that support safe, efficient, and successful project execution. From critical lift planning and structural analysis to field support and operational problem-solving, this role offers the opportunity to see engineering decisions translated directly into real-world results. As Superior Rigging and Erecting continues to expand its engineered services capabilities, this position is expected to evolve into a key technical leadership role with significant influence over engineering standards, innovation, processes, and future department growth.

Requirements

Bachelor’s Degree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
Active Professional Engineer (PE) license in Georgia or ability to obtain Georgia licensure through reciprocity.
Experience supporting construction, industrial, structural, heavy lift, specialty contracting, manufacturing, energy, infrastructure, or related engineering environments.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
Ability to communicate technical concepts effectively to both technical and non-technical audiences.
Ability to work in both office and field environments.
Valid driver's license and ability to travel periodically to project sites.
Ability to pass pre-employment background screening and drug testing.

Nice To Haves

Experience with crane operations, heavy lifting, rigging systems, steel erection, transportation engineering, or specialty construction.
Structural analysis and temporary works design experience.
Experience serving as Engineer of Record on construction or industrial projects.
Knowledge of crane load charts, lifting equipment, and engineered lift planning methodologies.
Proficiency with AutoCAD, Revit, Bluebeam, MathCAD, RISA, STAAD, RAM, or comparable engineering software.
Experience supporting field operations and construction teams.

Responsibilities

Develop engineered lift plans, rigging drawings, calculations, and stamped engineering documents for complex lifting operations.
Perform structural analysis of loads, rigging systems, temporary supports, crane configurations, and lifting equipment.
Review crane load charts, rigging capacities, load distribution, lift sequencing, and ground bearing pressures.
Serve as Engineer of Record for engineered lifting and rigging activities as required.
Develop and maintain engineering standards, calculation templates, procedures, and best practices.
Provide technical guidance on unique lifting, transportation, and construction challenges.
Conduct project site visits to assess access, site constraints, support conditions, and lift feasibility.
Participate in preconstruction planning and technical reviews during estimating and project development.
Collaborate closely with operations teams to translate engineering concepts into practical field execution plans.
Support critical lifts and high-risk operations with engineering oversight and technical guidance.
Troubleshoot field challenges and develop practical engineering solutions in real time.
Ensure engineered plans comply with applicable federal, state, and local regulations.
Support compliance with industry standards including OSHA, ASME, and other applicable engineering and lifting standards.
Participate in engineering risk assessments for critical and non-routine operations.
Document engineered controls, assumptions, limitations, and safety factors within lift plans and engineering packages.
Partner with safety leadership to reinforce a zero-incident culture.
Assist in building and expanding the company's engineering capabilities.
Mentor developing engineers and technical personnel.
Support internal training programs related to lift planning, engineering fundamentals, and technical execution.
Participate in process improvement, innovation initiatives, and long-term engineering strategy.
Serve as a trusted technical resource for operations, sales, project management, and executive leadership.
