About The Position

This role offers a hybrid work arrangement, with three days in the office and two days remote. The position allows for direct application of knowledge in materials, structural analysis, structural steel design, and reinforced concrete design. As part of an engineering and design team, you will work on power transmission modifications and upgrades, creating calculations, documenting designs, and specifications. You will tackle challenging assignments involving investigation, troubleshooting, and solving structural engineering issues. Responsibilities include performing structural analysis and detailed design of steel frames, connections, concrete members, equipment, and foundations, as well as developing integrated structural designs and supporting calculations. You will have direct client interface, communicating technical information, and preparing technical specifications for structural materials. The role also involves performing independent reviews of others' work, coordinating with engineers, project managers, clients, and suppliers, and reviewing existing facilities for upgrades and replacements, presenting findings to clients and peers. Career development is supported through peer-learning and knowledge sharing within the company's systems and "Communities of Practice." Travel to client and vendor offices for design reviews and to substation locations for construction coordination and field verification is also part of the role.
