Senior Structural Designer Jobs in Oregon (NOW HIRING)

Job Title: Senior Structural Design Lead (Industrial & Capital Infrastructure)
Role Overview
We are seeking a Senior Structural Design Lead to take ownership of complex structural modeling and design documentation for large-scale capital projects. This is a "career-level" role for a designer who is ready to function as the primary structural interface on complex, multi-discipline project teams. You will move beyond simple drafting to lead structural design for specific building areas or systems, ensuring that our deliverables are constructible, code-compliant, and perfectly coordinated with other trades.
The ideal candidate is a technical problem-solver who can take high-level design direction and translate it into precise, 3D structural models and construction packages. You will serve as a mentor to junior designers and act as the technical anchor during interdisciplinary coordination meetings, ensuring that structural integrity is maintained while meeting aggressive project schedules.

• Field Surveying: Perform onsite field surveys to document existing conditions, ensuring that design packages account for site-specific realities.
• Quality Assurance: Perform high-level "back-checking" and quality reviews on the work of the entire structural team.
• Design Oversight: Review and process submittal documents, provide specification input, and represent structural interests in design status meetings.
Qualifications & Requirements

• Education: Associate degree in CAD/Design or equivalent combination of education and experience.
• Experience Baseline: Minimum of six (6) to ten (10) years of structural design experience in a professional engineering consulting or industrial environment.
• Software Mastery:

oStrong proficiency in AutoCAD.
oNavisworks and Bluebeam expertise (essential for model review and clash coordination).
• Technical Knowledge: Deep understanding of building codes, structural standards, and industry best practices.

Preferred Attributes
• Proven experience serving as an Area Lead or Discipline Lead on large-scale capital projects.
