Position Summary
As a Structural Engineering Professional, you will be an integral member of the design team counted on to perform a significant portion of Structural analysis and design for our projects. You will need strong communication and interpersonal skills as you work closely with your Structural Lead, Structural Engineers, Structural Designers, and other disciplines. As part of this team, you will help develop design concepts, complete the analysis and design, and work with our Designers to get the structural requirements communicated on design documents and in the model.
It is expected that you have a solid foundation in the fundamentals of Structural Engineering, knowledge of multiple subject areas; experience with US building codes, including seismic provisions; understand how Structural design integrates with and impacts other disciplines; and are building understanding of business trends and industry issues and challenges. You will be given as much responsibility as you are willing to take, and your opportunities for career growth will be limited only by your own motivation, capabilities, and attitude.
Duties and Responsibilities

Under general supervision, competently perform all conventional aspects of Structural Engineering analysis and design

Plan and conduct work requiring judgement in the independent evaluation, selection, and adaptation of engineering techniques, procedures, and criteria

Possess knowledge of principles and practices of lateral analysis and design (wind and seismic), including ability to apply required provisions of the building code

Exhibit a high level of attention to detail and quality control

Committed to checking your own work, reaching out to peers and seniors for guidance when questions arise

Perform calculation checking of other engineers' work

Take responsibility for managing workload, make and keep commitments, and take full ownership of assigned work

You may be given tasks with ill-defined conditions of satisfaction, in which case you will be expected to take the initiative to determine what is needed to meet the project and client needs

Clearly define your own scope and start to develop your ability to forecast level of effort needed to complete that scope

Be ready to identify scope change and escalate it to your Structural Lead

Recognize when help is needed, reaching out to peers and senior engineers for guidance

Work in a timely, accurate, and cost-effective manner with strong attention to detail

Developing leadership skills
