What is a structural engineer?

Structural engineers are professionals who design, analyze, and ensure the safety of structures such as buildings, bridges, and tunnels. Their primary responsibility is to make sure structures can withstand loads and forces, including wind, earthquakes, and the weight of occupants. They work closely with architects and construction teams to create safe, functional, and cost-effective designs. Structural engineers use their knowledge of physics, mathematics, and materials science to solve complex engineering problems.

What are some common challenges faced by structural engineers when working on multidisciplinary projects?

Structural engineers often collaborate closely with architects, mechanical, and electrical engineers on multidisciplinary projects, which can present challenges related to balancing structural requirements with aesthetic or functional goals. Coordinating design changes, ensuring compliance with diverse codes, and managing communication across teams are common hurdles. Effective collaboration and proactive problem-solving are essential to meet project deadlines and ensure a cohesive final design. Developing strong interpersonal and project management skills will help structural engineers navigate these challenges successfully.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a structural engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Structural Engineer, you need a strong background in civil or structural engineering, analytical problem-solving abilities, and typically a relevant degree and professional licensure (such as PE or SE). Proficiency with structural analysis software like SAP2000, ETABS, AutoCAD, and building information modeling (BIM) tools is commonly required. Strong communication, teamwork, and attention to detail are standout soft skills for collaborating on multidisciplinary projects and ensuring design accuracy. These skills and qualifications are vital for designing safe, efficient structures and delivering successful construction projects.

What is the difference between Structural vs Civil Engineer?

AspectStructural EngineerCivil Engineer
CredentialsTypically requires a bachelor's degree in civil or structural engineering, licensure (PE)Requires a bachelor's degree in civil engineering, licensure (PE)
Work EnvironmentFocuses on designing and analyzing building frameworks, bridges, and other structuresWorks on infrastructure projects like roads, dams, and urban planning
Industry UsageSpecialized within construction, architecture, and engineering firmsBroader industry application including transportation, urban development, and environmental projects
Common Search/ComparisonOften compared for project scope and specializationMore general, encompassing various civil projects

While both Structural and Civil Engineers require similar educational backgrounds and licensure, Structural Engineers specialize in designing and analyzing load-bearing structures like buildings and bridges. Civil Engineers have a broader scope, working on infrastructure projects such as roads, water systems, and urban development. The choice depends on your specific career interests and project focus.

Description

Looking for an opportunity to make an impact?

The Leidos Energy, Infrastructure, and Automation operation helps solve utilities’ complex challenges through our full life-cycle, performance-based solutions. Our services include engineering, planning, project management, construction management, and commissioning for electric power substations and transmission and distribution lines; protection and controls design; and electrification programs. Utilities consistently come to Leidos for reliable power expertise, as reflected through our work with more than 75 investor-owned utilities and more than 100 municipals/cooperatives across the country as well as a growing number of private developers.

Your greatest work is ahead!

Leidos' Energy and Infrastructure Consulting (E&IC) Division is seeking a Civil/Structural Engineer with strong design knowledge of power projects in civil, geotechnical, hydrological, and structural design sub-disciplines.

Location: Ideally, this person would be located within commuting distance of Denver, CO or Framingham, MA area and work at least three days in the office weekly. Fully remote would be considered on a case-by-case basis. There is an identical senior level opening (8+ years of relevant experience) which is remote. 

What you’ll be doing:

  • Function as a Civil/Structural Consulting Engineer responsible for independent engineering design reviews. This is not a design position.  

  • Review civil and structural designs of new and existing power generation projects including wind, solar, hydro, battery energy storage systems, and thermal projects. 

  • Support Project Managers during transactional due diligence reviews. 

  • Review design codes applicable to the project under review, EPC Contract specifications, and design and equipment manufacturer drawings and calculations prepared by others.

  • Provide subject matter expertise in civil and structural design, review of EPC Contract specifications, and review of drawings and calculations by others.

  • Assist with monitoring and managing projects, developing sales proposals, and completing technology/bankability reviews as needed.

  • Provide Owner’s Engineering and Advisory support.

What does Leidos need from me?

  • Bachelor's of Science degree in Civil or Structural engineering with four plus years of experience working on industrial, power delivery, or power generation project designs or other relevant experience.

  • Team player with ability to communicate effectively with internal staff such as Project Manager’s and SMEs from other disciplines, as well as with external parties such as Owners, Developers, Lenders, Investors, and Manufacturers. 

  • Experience providing high level reviews of engineer’s finite element analysis models, hand and software generated calculations, design drawing packages, and the overall design basis/methodology selected and deployed related to peer reviews, fatal flaw reviews, conformance to industry standard practices, conformance to appropriate design codes, and conformance with project specifications.

  • Competency with various governing design codes used in civil, structural, and geotechnical design, such as the International Building Code (IBC), ASCE 7, ACI 318, AISC, AISI, and others. Familiarity with international codes a plus.

  • Familiarity with structural analysis software including finite element analysis such as STAAD or RISA 3D. Knowledge of Mathcad, AutoCAD, and other structural analysis software is a plus.

  • Ability to successfully meet client deadlines on multiple projects under pressure. Clients requiring subject matter expertise consulting could include private equity, infrastructure and hedge funds, investment and commercial banks, private developers, legal and financial advisors, original equipment manufacturers, DOE, and EIA, among others.

  • Ability to manage schedule commitments related to multiple project reviews at one time.

  • Willingness to travel for project site visits in support of reviews. Travel could include the potential for international travel. The position can periodically include weeks with extended work hours to support client(s) needs.

  • Proficient in the use of Microsoft 365 and Adobe/Bluebeam.

Favorable if you have:

  • Master’s degree in civil/structural engineering.

  • FE/EIT certification with aspiration to obtain professional engineer licensure.

  • Professional Engineer’s (PE) license.

  • Licensed Structural Engineer (SE).

  • Field engineering experience during the construction of projects.

  • Spanish language speaking and reading skills.

  • Familiarity with large construction projects – industrial, large commercial, mechanical, and electrical systems, and/or electrical transmission and distribution experience.

  • Experience in the design of power generation projects, including natural gas combined and simple cycle, wind turbine foundations, solar racking/trackers and the pile foundations, and rooftop solar systems is a strong differentiator.

  • Familiarity with review of construction specifications and submittals.

  • Familiarity with construction documentation such as ECN’s, CD’s, RFI’s, and NCR’s.
