Structural Engineer – Industrial & Material Handling Systems


Location: Canton, MI

Salary Range: $80,000 – $130,000+ base + end-of-year performance bonuses

Benefits: Full medical, dental, vision, hospitalization coverage for family + 401(k) match (3%)


About the Opportunity


A long-established manufacturer in the industrial and material handling industry is seeking a Structural Engineer to support the engineering, development, and installation of large-scale industrial doors, overhead systems, and structural steel assemblies.


This position requires a mix of technical engineering, field coordination, and structural analysis—not just design work. The ideal candidate has experience working hands-on with fabrication teams, installations, or industrial construction, along with a strong understanding of AutoCAD and structural steel principles.


What You’ll Do


  • Perform structural calculations, load analysis, and field assessments for industrial door and handling systems.
  • Review and mark up AutoCAD drawings to ensure accuracy and constructability.
  • Collaborate with fabrication, installation, and project teams to troubleshoot design and field challenges.
  • Conduct onsite inspections and provide engineering guidance during installation and commissioning.
  • Support the development and documentation of engineering standards, materials, and specifications.
  • Ensure compliance with safety codes, engineering standards, and structural integrity requirements.
  • Coordinate with customers, contractors, and internal teams to ensure projects meet design intent and performance criteria.


What You Bring


  • Bachelor’s degree in Structural Engineering, Civil Engineering, or a closely related field (required).
  • Professional Engineer (PE) license preferred but not required.
  • 3–10 years of hands-on structural or industrial engineering experience, including exposure to:
  • Structural steel fabrication or erection
  • Overhead doors, cranes, conveyors, or other material handling systems
  • Industrial or heavy commercial projects
  • Strong AutoCAD proficiency (2D required; 3D familiarity preferred).
  • Ability to perform structural calculations, interpret drawings, and validate designs through field application.
  • Excellent communication and problem-solving skills, with a practical approach to real-world engineering challenges.
  • Comfortable working in both office and field environments, with occasional travel for site coordination.


Want to Stand Out?


We invite candidates to record a short video to showcase who they are and why they’re excited about this opportunity. This should feel low-pressure and personal.
