Job Title: Senior Structural Project Engineer (Industrial & Capital Infrastructure)
Role Overview
We are seeking a Senior Structural Project Engineer to serve as a cornerstone of our design team. You will be responsible for the end-to-end structural analysis and design of complex, large-scale industrial projects. This role is for a seasoned engineer who is ready to move beyond routine calculations and take full ownership of structural scopes-from the initial design concepts to final construction documentation.
You will act as the technical "go-to" person for your team, balancing complex structural modeling with project-level leadership. Whether acting as the Structural Lead on medium-sized projects or as a key Sub-Lead on massive capital investments, you will mentor junior engineers, drive innovative workflows, and ensure that our structural designs are not only technically sound but also constructible and budget-aligned.
Key Responsibilities
Technical Leadership & Analysis
• Core Analysis: Independently execute conventional and complex structural analysis and design. You will plan and conduct work requiring high-level engineering judgment, independent evaluation, and adaptation of structural techniques.
• Lateral Systems Mastery: Apply advanced knowledge of lateral analysis and design (wind and seismic) in accordance with modern building codes and industry best practices.
• Quality & Ownership: Maintain an uncompromising commitment to quality control. You will be expected to perform rigorous self-checks and peer reviews on the calculations and models of other team members.
Project & Portfolio Management
• Standalone Responsibility: Take full ownership of your structural scope. You will define your own work packages, forecast level of effort, manage your project budget, and proactively identify scope changes before they impact the schedule.
• Integration & Coordination: Champion the integration of structural design with other disciplines (architectural, mechanical, process, and electrical). Use tools like Navisworks to resolve spatial conflicts and ensure design constructability.
• Mentorship: Provide technical guidance, coaching, and mentorship to junior engineers and design/drafting staff. Actively seek to improve structural workflows and embrace emerging technologies to drive efficiency.
