Bulk material handling refers to the process of transporting, storing, and managing large quantities of loose materials such as grains, coal, ore, cement, and other similar products. This field involves the use of equipment like conveyors, stackers, reclaimers, hoppers, and silos to efficiently move and store bulk materials in industries such as mining, agriculture, and manufacturing. Effective bulk material handling helps improve productivity, reduce costs, and maintain safety standards in facilities where these materials are processed or transported.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in Bulk Material Handling, and why are they important?

To excel in Bulk Material Handling, you need knowledge of material movement processes, safety regulations, and equipment operation, often supported by relevant certifications or technical training. Familiarity with conveyor systems, loaders, forklifts, and inventory management software is typically required. Strong attention to detail, teamwork, and problem-solving abilities distinguish top performers in this field. These skills ensure efficient, safe, and reliable handling of bulk materials, minimizing downtime and workplace hazards.

What are some common challenges faced in a Bulk Material Handling role and how can they be addressed?

Professionals in Bulk Material Handling often encounter challenges such as equipment maintenance issues, material flow blockages, and ensuring safety compliance. Addressing these requires regular preventative maintenance, close monitoring of system performance, and adherence to strict safety protocols. Effective communication with plant operators, engineers, and maintenance teams is essential for troubleshooting and minimizing downtime. Staying updated with the latest industry standards and participating in ongoing training can also help in proactively managing these challenges.

Job description

Company Overview:

RDStolz Engineering LLC is an Ohio-based, full-service engineering firm specializing in structural engineering and design for the bulk material handling industry. As a key part of the TEP Group of Companies, we deliver world-class structural solutions across diverse industrial and commercial sectors globally. We pride ourselves on building collaborative, empowered teams that tackle complex technical challenges without the corporate bureaucracy.

Position Summary:

We are seeking a Senior Structural Engineer (PE) to lead the technical design, analysis, and execution of complex industrial structures. In this role, you will balance modern structural engineering software with traditional design fundamentals, overseeing projects from initial concept through construction. This is a brilliant opportunity for a licensed engineer who wants to serve as a technical authority, mentor junior staff, and make an immediate impact on large-scale heavy industrial projects.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Technical Design: Serve as the design authority for industrial structural systems, with a heavy focus on bulk material handling, steel detailing, and conveyor engineering.

  • Project Oversight: Lead the planning, code analysis, and calculations for structural steel and foundations; check and seal engineering calculations for the team.

  • Quality Assurance: Maintain strict engineering standards, structural integrity, and robust QA/QC processes.

  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with drafters, project managers, and clients to translate conceptual structural layouts into accurate 2D AutoCAD drawing sets.

  • Estimation & Scoping: Assist with project proposals by estimating steel weights and projecting engineering/drafting hours required for new projects.

  • Mentorship: Provide guidance and technical support to junior engineers and designers to foster a culture of excellence.

Qualifications & Technical Requirements:

  • Licensure: Active Professional Engineer (PE) license in Ohio is required (or ability to obtain via comity immediately). Ability to obtain a Canadian P.Eng. (specifically British Columbia) is highly valued.

  • Education: Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering or Structural Engineering.

  • Experience: 4+ years of experience in structural analysis and design of heavy industrial structures (industrial buildings, steel platforms, or bulk material handling/conveyor systems).

  • Steel Design Expertise: Deep technical mastery of structural steel design using AISC’s ASD (Allowable Strength Design) provisions.

  • Concrete & Building Codes: Working knowledge of ACI concrete design and deep familiarity with industry codes including ASCE 7, IBC, and MSHA/OSHA regulations.

  • Software & Fundamentals: Mastery of STAAD.Pro (or similar FEA tools), 2D AutoCAD, and Excel for advanced in-house design tools. Must be comfortable performing and reviewing manual "pencil on paper" calculations.

Why Join Us?

  • Technical Impact: Work on technically challenging, massive-scale projects for major global mining, processing, and industrial clients.

  • True Work-Life Balance: Enjoy flexible scheduling designed to accommodate real life.

  • Stability & Growth: Benefit from professional development support, fully covered licensing renewals, and a clear path toward internal team leadership.

  • Comprehensive Benefits: Competitive salary ($75,000 – $120,000 based on experience), comprehensive Health Insurance, Health Savings Accounts (HSA), Life and Disability Insurance, and generous Paid Time Off (PTO) / Holiday pay.

How to Apply:

Please submit your resume along with a brief description of your experience handling structural steel design or material handling projects.
