  • Other duties as assigned.

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, or Structural Engineering.
  • 0-2 years of engineering experience; recent graduates are encouraged to apply.
  • Strong mechanical aptitude with hands-on technical and problem-solving skills.
  • Excellent communication, organizational, and interpersonal abilities.
  • Demonstrated commitment to safety and willingness to work in a variety of industrial and construction environments.
  • Ability and willingness to work at customer sites approximately 50% of the time and travel as needed for project assignments throughout the region, with occasional national travel.
  • Valid driver's license, reliable personal transportation, and the ability to meet ATS driving record standards.
  • Comfortable working at heights, including near roof edges, while using proper fall-protection equipment.
  • Willingness to work occasional nights and weekends based on project requirements.
  • Must be able to pass a physical exam, background check, and drug screening.
  • Team-oriented with a positive, proactive attitude and a strong desire to learn and grow.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience or coursework in structural analysis and design, including calculations for beams, slabs, and columns.
  • Familiarity with design codes and standards (AISC, ACI, IBC, etc.).
  • Experience with Revit is a plus.

BENEFITS
