The Structural Engineer is responsible for designing, analyzing, and overseeing the construction and modification of structural systems within industrial facilities. This role ensures that all structures—such as support frameworks, platforms, foundations, towers, and equipment enclosures—are safe, code-compliant, and optimized for the specific demands of heavy industrial operations. The Structural Engineer collaborates with multidisciplinary teams, including mechanical, electrical, and process engineers, to integrate structural solutions into large-scale industrial projects.

Responsibilities:

• Perform structural analysis and design for steel, concrete, and other materials used in industrial environments.
• Develop detailed engineering drawings, specifications, and calculations.
• Ensure compliance with applicable building codes, industry standards (e.g., AISC, ACI, OSHA), and client specifications.
• Work closely with project managers to define scope, budgets, and timelines for structural engineering tasks.
• Provide technical guidance during fabrication, construction, and installation phases.
• Conduct site visits to assess conditions, verify as-built measurements, and support troubleshooting.
• Coordinate with civil, mechanical, electrical, and process engineering teams to ensure seamless integration of structural components.
• Support equipment layout planning, load assessments, and foundation requirements for heavy machinery.
• Incorporate safety considerations into designs, ensuring compliance with OSHA and company safety policies.
• Evaluate structural systems for resilience against industrial hazards such as vibration, thermal expansion, chemical exposure, and heavy loads.
• Recommend improvements in materials, methods, and design approaches to enhance performance and cost efficiently.
• Stay updated on emerging structural engineering technologies and software tools.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor's Degree in Structural Engineering, Civil Engineering, or a related discipline (masters preferred).
• Professional Engineer (PE) license or ability to obtain within specified time frame.
• 5+ years of structural experience, preferably in an industrial, manufacturing, or plant setting.
• Proficiency with structural analysis and design software (e.g.,RISA-3D, RISAFoundation, RISAConnection , MathCAD, Hilti PROFIS Engineering)
• Strong understanding of industrial construction methods, equipment support structures, and plant layout considerations
• Familiarity with relevant codes and standards: AISC, ACI, ASCE, NFPA, OSHA.
• Excellent problem-solving and critical-thinking abilities.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
