Engineer Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Company Overview:

RDStolz Engineering LLC is an Ohio-based, full-service engineering firm specializing in engineering and design for the material handling industry. While we are leaders in material handling, our engineering and design capabilities extend across a diverse range of industrial and commercial sectors. We pride ourselves on building collaborative, empowered teams to deliver world-class structural solutions.

The Role:

We are seeking a Structural Engineer to lead technical direction, innovation, and execution for complex projects. This is a senior leadership role designed for an experienced engineer who thrives at the intersection of strategy, design excellence, and team development. You will set engineering standards, mentor high-performing teams, and ensure the delivery of safe, efficient, and forward-thinking structural solutions from concept through construction.

The ideal candidate is a licensed Professional Engineer (PE) in Ohio—or someone capable of obtaining licensure shortly after hire—with a Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, specifically focused on structural design. While advanced degrees are not required, the candidate must possess at least four years of experience in the analysis and design of industrial structures, with a strong preference for backgrounds in bulk material handling. Beyond domestic licensure, the ability to obtain a P.Eng. in Canada (specifically British Columbia) is highly valued. The candidate must be a technical expert in steel design using AISC’s ASD provisions, possess a working knowledge of ACI concrete design, and be well-versed in industry codes such as ASCE 7, IBC, and MSHA/OSHA regulations as they relate to conveyor engineering.

Operationally, the successful candidate must balance modern software proficiency with traditional engineering fundamentals. This includes a mastery of Excel for in-house design tools, STAAD for complex structures, and 2-D AutoCAD for drawing production. Crucially, the candidate should be comfortable performing manual "pencil on paper" calculations for routine tasks and checking the structural calculations of others. We are looking for a clear communicator who can estimate steel weights for proposals, project the hours required for drafting tasks, and effectively direct other designers. A deep understanding of steel detailing practices and the ability to interpret shop drawings are essential for ensuring seamless execution from design to construction.

Key Responsibilities:

• Technical Leadership: Serve as the technical authority for all structural engineering designs, analyses, and methodologies.
• Project Oversight: Lead and oversee the planning, design, and review of complex structural systems, including preparing design layouts and complete drawing sets.
• Standards & Quality: Establish and maintain engineering standards, best practices, and robust QA/QC processes.
• Strategic Guidance: Provide expert advice on project feasibility, risk management, constructability, and value engineering.
• Collaboration: Work closely with architects, project managers, contractors, and clients to ensure seamlessly integrated solutions.
• Mentorship: Mentor and inspire junior and senior engineers to foster a culture of excellence and accountability.
• Innovation: Stay ahead of industry trends, building codes, and emerging technologies to drive continuous innovation.
• Business Growth: Support business development efforts, including technical proposals, client presentations, and relationship management.

Qualifications & Skills:

• Licensure: Professional Engineer (PE) license is required.
• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Civil or Structural Engineering (Master’s degree preferred).
• Experience: 5+ years of progressive structural engineering experience, including leadership or principal-level responsibilities.
• Project History: Proven track record leading large-scale or complex projects across commercial, industrial, or infrastructure sectors.
• Technical Proficiency: * Deep expertise in structural analysis and design software.
• • STAAD.Pro (or similar calculation programs).
  • AutoCAD (2D and 3D).
• Industry Knowledge: Knowledge of large bulk material handling conveyor designs is a significant plus.
• Soft Skills: Strong communication, decision-making, and the ability to balance technical excellence with business needs.

Why Join Us?

• Impact: Influence the strategic direction of a rapidly growing engineering organization.
• Challenge: Work on high-impact, technically challenging projects across multiple industries.
• Benefits:
• • Comprehensive Health Insurance & Health Savings Accounts (HSAs).
  • Life Insurance, Short-Term, and Long-Term Disability.
  • Paid Vacation Leave and Holiday Pay.
  • Flexible Scheduling for work-life balance.
• Growth: Professional development support and clear pathways to leadership.
• Culture: A diverse and inclusive workplace that values different perspectives and collaborative problem-solving.

How to Apply

Interested candidates should submit their resume and cover letter detailing their relevant experience in structural leadership and industrial design.
