About The Position

The Structural Engineer III performs complete designs for small and large civil/structural engineering assignments using theoretical knowledge and practical design methods, under general supervision. The role develops layouts, cost studies, preliminary designs, material take-offs, detailed calculations, sketches, construction specifications, and other project deliverables. Designs should use construction materials efficiently, be straightforward to build, and meet client expectations.

The engineer coordinates with drafting staff, design leaders, other engineers, vendors, and other disciplines; checks calculations and drawings; supports procurement and construction; and may lead small to medium teams in delivering civil/structural work to scope, schedule, and budget. Fieldwork may be required to collect data, check tie-ins, and provide construction support. The position requires a bachelor’s or master’s degree in Civil Engineering, structural coursework for structural roles, and at least three years of relevant industrial civil/structural engineering experience. Professional Engineering registration is highly preferred.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master of Science degree in Civil Engineering from an accredited university.
• Structural coursework is required for structural engineering positions.
• At least 3 years of relevant industrial experience in civil/structural engineering.
• Knowledge and application of the International Building Code and related standards, including ASCE, AISC, and ACI.
• Expertise with civil/structural analysis software, including operating the software and interpreting results.
• Knowledge of discipline-specific methods, practices, and techniques for engineering, designing, and constructing process and manufacturing projects.
• Ability to lead a small to medium team in delivering commitments.
• Working knowledge of AutoCAD, MicroStation, or both.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Word, Excel, and Outlook.
• Good verbal and written communication skills.
• Virtual-team skills and cross-divisional relationships sufficient to provide interoffice execution support under general supervision.

• Produce estimate-level preliminary designs and material take-offs appropriate to the estimate level.
• Prepare detailed design calculations and construction-material sketches in an organized format suitable for checking, drawing preparation, and delivery when required.
• Develop designs that use construction materials efficiently, are easy to construct, and meet client expectations.
• Check calculations prepared by other engineers for accuracy, code and specification compliance, and sound engineering practice.
• Assist drafting staff with routine layout and detailing problems and provide sketches and details needed to complete engineering drawings.
• Coordinate with design leaders from other disciplines to support the timely flow of project information.
• Advise the senior engineer of identified design or scope changes.
• Assist in assembling scopes, drawings, and specifications into civil/structural procurement packages.
• Review vendor drawings and drawings from other disciplines for civil/structural input.
