Structural Engineer

The Structural Engineer I performs structural analyses of low complexity on existing communication structures (including guyed, self-supporting, and monopoles and their foundations) and prepares formal, written reports detailing tower capacity and recommendations for modifications needed to increase capacity. The Structural Engineer I supports more experienced engineers analyzing more complex structures and designing new towers, tower foundations, and modifications to existing towers. The incumbent reviews TIA inspection reports of low to intermediate complexity on existing communication structures and prepares engineering documentation recommending remediation requirements. The incumbent also assists more experienced engineers with reviewing more complex TIA inspection reports and remediation requirements.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES:
• Review requests for engineering services, working within existing processes to correctly determine the type of service required.
• Review tower structures and foundations for existing, proposed, and reserved tenant configurations to perform analyses on projects of low complexity using hand calculations, tower analysis software, and other accepted methods. Generate required engineering reports.
• Perform design of modifications on projects of low complexity consisting of tower reinforcement, extensions, and foundations. Generate required engineering deliverables.
• Review modification drawings on projects of low complexity, working with Designer staff to resolve any discrepancies.
• Review tower inspections of low to intermediate complexity for all types of towers and determine level of remediation required, if any.
• Ensure system data are kept current to facilitate accurate customer and sales reporting, while adhering to quality control procedures.
• Provide quality, timely, and accurate support for any inquiries and problems within defined areas of responsibility, including but not limited to phone, email, and instant message contacts.

SUPERVISORY RESPONSIBILITIES:
• None.
