Job Description

Job Title: Structural Engineer

The Civil/Structural Engineer will lead the development, coordination, and review of structural and civil design packages for medium to large capital projects in heavy industrial environments. This role requires the ability to work independently or within cross-functional teams while managing project scopes with a strong focus on schedule, budget, quality, and safety. The engineer will guide design efforts both internally and through external engineering partners, ensuring structural integrity and compliance throughout all phases of project execution.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead, prepare, and review structural and civil design packages to ensure compliance with project requirements, standards, and codes.
• Develop engineering sketches into complete construction documents, including plans, sections, and detailed drawings.
• Coordinate design activities across internal disciplines—civil, structural, mechanical, architectural—and with third-party engineering firms to ensure aligned and timely delivery.
• Conduct technical reviews to ensure design accuracy, constructability, cost-effectiveness, and compliance with safety and regulatory requirements.
• Ensure all design work meets required QC standards and applicable building codes.
• Participate in PHA/HAZOP reviews and collaborate with Safety and Environmental teams to support risk mitigation.
• Provide construction-phase support by responding to RFIs, reviewing submittals, and conducting on-site field inspections.
• Maintain thorough engineering documentation, including calculations, reports, and specifications.
• Support project planning activities by evaluating and communicating design impacts on cost, schedule, and resources.

Qualifications

Education:

• Bachelor’s Degree in Civil Engineering or Structural Engineering (required).

Experience:

• Approximately 10+ years of experience in heavy industrial structural design and layout.
• Proven ability to lead and manage design efforts across multidisciplinary teams.
• Proficiency with 3D modeling tools for concrete and steel structures such as Bentley 3D, AVEVA E3D, AutoCAD ProStructure, or CaddWorx.
• Strong understanding of structural standards, engineering principles, and building code requirements.

Licenses & Certifications:

• Professional Engineer (PE) license preferred (or specify if required).

Knowledge, Skills & Abilities:

• Highly organized with the ability to manage multiple concurrent projects.
• Strong written, verbal, and presentation communication skills.
• Results-driven with strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in team environments.
