What does a Structural Engineer I do?

A Structural Engineer I is an entry-level professional who assists in designing, analyzing, and evaluating structures such as buildings, bridges, and other infrastructure. They work under the supervision of senior engineers, using engineering principles and computer-aided design software to ensure that structures are safe, stable, and meet all relevant codes and standards. Their responsibilities often include preparing drawings, performing calculations, conducting site visits, and supporting project documentation.

What types of projects and daily tasks can a Structural Engineer I expect to work on in their first year?

As a Structural Engineer I, you will typically assist senior engineers with tasks such as drafting structural plans, performing basic calculations, and preparing reports. Early in your role, you might work on small-scale commercial or residential projects, supporting the design and analysis of building components under supervision. Collaboration with architects, contractors, and other engineering disciplines is common, helping you gain exposure to multidisciplinary teamwork. Over time, you'll gradually take on more responsibility as you develop technical skills and familiarity with relevant codes and standards.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Structural Engineer I, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Structural Engineer I, you need a solid understanding of structural analysis, design principles, and a bachelor's degree in civil or structural engineering. Familiarity with structural modeling software such as AutoCAD, SAP2000, or Revit, and an Engineer-in-Training (EIT) certification are typically required. Strong problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and effective communication skills are vital for collaborating with project teams and addressing design challenges. These competencies ensure that structural solutions are safe, code-compliant, and efficiently executed in real-world construction projects.

Job description

Structural Engineer I

About Our Firm

Waldron Engineering & Construction, Inc. is a multi-discipline consulting engineering and construction management firm specializing in the design, construction, commissioning and performance testing of power generation, combined heat and power, renewable energy, and central heating and chilling facilities. As a premier power engineering and construction management firm in the US, Waldron prides itself on being a leader in advancing new and emerging energy production technologies and developing ways to bring them to commercial application.

The Opportunity

We are seeking a Structural Engineer who can make an immediate contribution to the engineering and design of multiple central utility plant projects, while developing the technical and leadership skills necessary to enable longer-term professional advancement within the team. The ideal candidate must possess a strong foundation in structural engineering theory and its application, experience producing design documents as part of a team, the desire to work in a fast-paced, multi-discipline environment, and the willingness to learn and to be challenged professionally. The task at Waldron is not simply to design stable structures, but to ensure the design concepts are fully-coordinated with the overall needs of the facility, which includes assessment of constructability and project phasing, anticipation of the design interfaces with other engineering disciplines, reviewing plant operability as well as equipment maintenance and rigging access, addressing Code compliance, and ensuring cost-effectiveness of design solutions.

The successful candidate will perform technical work including, but not limited to, the following:

  • Serve as technical resource on design issues and the application of engineering theories, concepts, principles, and processes to evaluate the structural integrity and seismic strength of structures.

  • Analyze existing structures to determine viability of proposed building alterations that typically include replacement, removal, addition and/or modification of equipment and systems within the building. Conceptualize pathways to achieve Code compliance and meet project goals.

  • Research, plan, and design structural solutions that often require novel concepts and approaches within a multi-discipline team to meet project expectations (technical, operational, aesthetic, construction) for industrial facilities, often with client requirements that exceed typical code minimums.

  • Design dynamic foundations for heavy industrial machinery, including combustion turbines, steam turbines, reciprocating engines and compressors, centrifugal chillers, cooling towers, and other balance-of-plant equipment.

  • Develop design concepts through detailed design stage.

  • Design tasks involving load determination, stress analysis, structural steel design using computational software design tools and hand calculations as appropriate.

  • Development of structural design drawings and specifications.

  • Work in a team environment with civil, mechanical, electrical and controls engineering disciplines.

  • Review shop drawings and facilitate the construction administration process.

  • Conduct on-site inspections and troubleshooting investigations, as required.

Your Education & Skills

  • Bachelor’s Degree (Master’s preferred). 4-10 years of relevant experience

  • Proficiency with Finite Element Analysis software is required, RISA preferred

  • Experience with Autodesk Revit and AutoCad - is required

  • Working knowledge of MathCad, NavisWorks
