Structural Engineer 2 - Grid
About The Position
This position will offer you the ability to directly apply your knowledge of materials, structural analysis, structural steel design, and reinforced concrete design. As a member of an engineering and design team, you will work on a wide range of power transmission modifications and upgrades to support client recommendations and reviews including creating calculations, document designs, and specifications. You will work on challenging assignments that include investigating, trouble-shooting, and solving a wide variety of structural engineering issues. You will perform structural analysis and detailed design of steel frames, connections, concrete members, equipment, and foundations. Develop integrated structural designs and perform supporting calculations for the planned work. You will have direct interface with the client and communicate technical information. You will prepare technical specifications for structural materials. You will Perform independent reviews of work performed by others, including calculations and drawing preparation. Coordinate and provide guidance to other engineers, project managers, client personnel, and suppliers to ensure a complete and timely design. Perform reviews of existing facilities to propose upgrades and replacements, and present findings and recommendations to clients and peers. You will develop your career via peer-learning through sharing of knowledge with other experienced engineers by way of S&L’s systems of process and associated “Communities of Practice.” You will travel to client and vendor offices for design reviews and to substation locations for construction coordination and field verification of designs.
