Structural Engineer 3 - Energy & Industrial Group

Sargent & Lundy•Aurora, CO

17h•$74,353 - $113,595•Hybrid

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, energy, oil & gas, and industrial related projects, creating calculations to develop structural document designs, and preparing technical specifications. Additionally, you will conduct structural analyses, which include complex loading conditions such as wind, seismic, and pressurization. Using our state-of-the-art computer tools, you will perform the structural analysis and design of steel frames, connections, concrete members, equipment and piping supports, and foundations. There is the potential for you to travel to client and vendor offices for design reviews, and to plant site locations for structural condition assessments, construction coordination and field verification of designs. This position is based on a hybrid work schedule and will require in-office work 3 days per week.

Requirements

BS or MS of Civil Engineering from an ABET Engineering Accreditation Commission-approved program
