Job Summary
Conduct structural analyses and design for power plant, oil & gas, and industrial facility modifications, including complex loading conditions like wind, seismic, and blast. Lead junior engineers through detailed design phases, coordinate with project managers and clients, and perform independent reviews of calculations and drawings. Prepare technical specifications, engineering studies, and site assessments for existing facility upgrades. Apply modern tools and automation principles to improve workflows and deliver cost-effective designs. Requires PE license, 5+ years in heavy industrial plant design, and hybrid schedule with 3 days in-office.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's Degree in Civil Engineering (Master's in Civil Engineering preferred) with structural engineering emphasis from an ABET Engineering Accreditation Commission-approved program
- PE license
- Five or more years of working as a member of a project team environment in the design of heavy industrial plants or oil & gas plants with a focus on the analysis of steel structures, concrete foundations and supports for new plants or modifications or replacements for existing plants
- Experience must include the selection of structural materials and the review and preparation of specifications
- Experience in writing and providing support documentation for structural engineering calculations
- Technically knowledgeable of the practical application of structural engineering including analysis for structural supports, loads, and design integrity
- Experience with the design techniques, tools, and principles involved in the production of technical plans, blueprints, drawings, and models for industrial plants
- Proficiency with any of the following programs: MathCad, STAAD PRO, RISA, SAP2000, SAFE, STRUDL, or ANSYS
- Proficiency with design codes and standards such as IBC, ASCE 7, AISC, and ACI 318
- Proficiency with MS Office applications
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Must be able to lead others in taking engineering problems from issue to solution by setting expectations for using data and modern tools such as automation and AI to improve workflows, reduce rework, and deliver cost-effective designs
- Leaders in these roles often direct automation and process-improvement work, for example, how teams automate calculations, summarize technical documents, or generate design documentation and guiding when and how AI or agentic AI tools are used while ensuring results are checked
- Overseeing engineers who program or script (e.g., Python, MATLAB, advanced Excel) to automate engineering tasks, with review of automated outputs
- We also value additional learning, such as a minor, certificate, or other experience in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Software Engineering, or related fields that enables effective oversight of automation and agentic AI-enabled engineering workflows
- This position is based on a hybrid work schedule and will require in-office work 3 days per week
