• Assist sales and pre-contract teams with proposals, engineering estimates, schedules, and schematic designs.
• Coordinate with manufacturing, procurement, and construction teams for seamless execution.
• Partner with clients, architects, and contractors to resolve design challenges.

Quality & Continuous Improvement:

• Uphold company engineering standards, templates, and calculation methods.
• Participate in peer reviews to ensure technical quality and consistency.
• Stay current with evolving codes, design methods, and industry best practices.
• Contribute to developing technical standards and continuous improvement initiatives.

• 7 – 15 years of progressive experience in structural engineering with at least 5 years of heavy industry experience

• Strong knowledge of structural systems, materials, and design software (RISA, ETABS, SAP2000, Revit).
• Experience reviewing and approving shop drawings, fabrication details, and erection drawings.
• Hands-on experience collaborating with project management and construction teams.
• Background in structural steel and pre-engineered building systems
