Structures Design Engineer

Acciona•Atlanta, GA

About The Position

The Structural Engineer will provide construction-phase engineering support for bridge and structural work across the SR400 Express Lanes Project. The role supports review of structural submittals, temporary works, construction calculations, RFIs, constructability, and field technical issues. The engineer will work closely with the Technical Director, Designer of Record, drafting team, field engineers, superintendents, quality staff, and other project disciplines to help ensure structural work is safe, buildable, and compliant with project requirements. The SR400 Express Lanes Project is a $4.6 billion infrastructure initiative led by SR400 Constructors, a 50/50 joint venture between Flatiron Dragados and ACCIONA. Commissioned by GDOT and SRTA, it will add two 16-mile express lanes from Sandy Springs MARTA Station (Exit 5) to McFarland (Exit 12), and includes dedicated bus rapid transit stations and bridge refurbishments. Construction is set to begin in late 2025, with substantial completion anticipated in 2031.

Requirements

Degree in Civil Engineering or equivalent.
5–10 years of experience in structural design and analysis of bridge structures.
Strong knowledge of concrete and steel structural design, including relevant codes and regulations.
Proficiency in structural analysis software such as SAP2000, CUBUS, Sofistik, or similar tools.
Ability to produce and review detailed structural calculations and drawings using sound engineering judgment.
Strong organizational skills and ability to manage multiple assignments under tight deadlines.
Strong communication skills and ability to work effectively within a multidisciplinary engineering team.

Nice To Haves

MSc degree preferred.
Experience working within design-build or large infrastructure projects is an asset.
Professional Engineer (PE) license, or ability to obtain one, is a plus.

Responsibilities

Provide structural engineering support to the construction team during bridge and structural work in concrete and steel.
Review shop drawings, rebar detailing, precast and structural steel submittals, and construction methods for conformance with design intent and project specifications.
Design and verify temporary works, including formwork, falsework, shoring, lifting plans, and erection sequences, and coordinate their review and approval.
Prepare construction-phase calculations and technical documentation, including construction staging analyses, load checks, and field change evaluations.
Respond to RFIs and field technical queries, coordinating with the Designer of Record and drafting team to resolve issues and implement design changes.
Perform constructability reviews of structural design packages and propose practical, cost-effective solutions to the construction team.
Apply relevant structural codes and standards, including AASHTO LRFD, GDOT specifications, ACI, AISC, and other applicable national and international regulations.
Provide technical guidance to field engineers, superintendents, and QC staff on construction tolerances, inspections, and non-conformance resolution.
Participate in multidisciplinary coordination with roadway, geotechnical, drainage, and construction teams to ensure smooth interfaces between design and construction.
Support the Technical Director with analyses, technical input, and engineering solutions throughout the construction stages.
