Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Structural or Civil Engineering.
- A minimum of 2 years of related experience performing mechanical or structural calculations for steel equipment.
- Must be able to travel both domestically and internationally.
Nice To Haves
- Preference to Masters degree or PhD.
- Preference for five years of related experience.
