What You Will Do

Your role is to work as the owner’s representative or design team, to provide structural engineering design responsibilities for steel, concrete, and wood-framed commercial and industrial facilities.

  • Perform and review condition assessments and develop design repair details to prolong an asset’s life.

  • Provide direction and ongoing design oversight to develop structural designs of building systems crafted by consultants. Design support structural systems from small to large scale projects.
  • Perform peer reviews of structural designs by third parties.
  • Work closely with maintenance teams, operations and executives on the options to manage structural assets.
  • Compile construction documents and specifications.
  • Perform field investigations of older assets.
  • Serve as a technical point of contact for project management teams.
