About The Position

MILLC delivers engineered solutions, system integrations, and industrial services for complex commercial, institutional, and manufacturing facilities. Our team provides high‑quality engineering services specializing in structural design, mechanical–structural integration, and engineered assemblies for commercial, industrial, and institutional facilities. Our expertise spans building structures, modular platforms, foundations, and structural components. We serve clients through highly coordinated engineering solutions and a commitment to quality, safety, and industry standards. We are seeking a Structural Engineer with deep knowledge of steel standards, welding, bolted joints, and analytical modeling tools to join our expanding engineering group. The Structural Engineer will perform structural analysis, develop engineered designs, and support the integration of structural steel, welded systems, mechanical interfaces, and modular structures. This role requires extensive knowledge of structural steel design standards, weld engineering, bolted connections, fastener selection, and quantitative load analysis. You will coordinate with engineering, fabrication, and field teams to ensure safe, code‑compliant, and fabrication‑ready designs.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Structural Engineering, Civil Engineering (Structural focus), Mechanical Engineering with structural emphasis, or related field.
Proficiency with CAD/3D modeling tools (e.g., SolidWorks, Revit, AutoCAD).
Strong understanding of: Structural steel design standards (AISC). Bolted joint systems, fastener selection, and structural connection design. Welding processes, quality control, and procedures, as reflected in AWS welding engineering competencies. Load analysis tools, structural modeling, and FEA.
Ability to create complete structural drawing packages including plans, details, schedules, and specifications.
Excellent problem‑solving, analytical, and communication skills.

Nice To Haves

Licensure or pursuit of PE or SE credentials—recognized pathways in structural engineering.
Certifications such as: SECB Certification (Structural Engineering Certification Board). AWS Certified Welding Engineer (CWEng) for advanced welding competency. AISC Certification familiarity for structural steel quality systems.
Experience with modular structures, industrial equipment supports, or integrated mechanical–structural systems.
Familiarity with construction practices, materials testing, and inspection services

Responsibilities

Perform structural analysis, framing design, load path development, and engineered calculations for steel structures, support frames, and mechanical–structural assemblies, consistent with services such as structural analysis, framing plans, and building design.
Develop detailed 2D/3D models, layout drawings, structural plans, and fabrication documents.
Apply relevant industry standards (AISC, ASCE, AWS, and applicable building codes) and adhere to quality management expectations similar to AISC QMS certification programs.
Design and analyze mechanical fastener systems, including high‑strength bolted connections, torque/tension criteria, and joint evaluation.
Engineer welded components, specifying weld types, sizes, procedures, and quality requirements consistent with advanced welding engineering principles recognized by AWS CWEng certification.
Develop or review welding details, procedures, and inspection requirements following industry‑standard welding practices and quality expectations.
Support fabrication with weld engineering knowledge, inspection criteria, and QA/QC validation methods aligned with AWS welding engineering competencies.
Assess manufacturability, structural integrity, and weld performance across frames, platforms, and steel assemblies.
Use structural engineering analysis software tools (e.g., structural modeling, FEA platforms, load simulation tools) to evaluate structural steel performance under gravity, wind, seismic, mechanical, and dynamic loads.
Apply analytical practices consistent with top-tier structural engineering certification standards, including advanced structural systems analysis and integration principles highlighted by SECB and SE licensing pathways.
Coordinate with engineers from all disciplines to ensure mechanical–structural interfaces meet fit, function, and safety requirements.
Collaborate with fabrication teams, construction leads, and inspectors to ensure compliance with design intent.
Participate in project meetings, design reviews, site visits, and installation support.
