Recognized as one of the Best Places to Work and Top 10 Hottest Firm by Zweig Reports and featured in Inc. 5000s Top 250 for our staggering 1748% growth were proud of what weve built and where were headed.
Were allergic to bureaucracy thrive on innovation and embrace data-driven decisions. If you love collaboration creativity and a fast-paced environment we might just be your perfect match!
We are seeking aProject Engineer - Structural with 5-8 years of experience to support the design and delivery of foundation and structural systems across a range of infrastructure and renewable energy projects. Youll work closely with senior engineers and contribute to projects from concept through construction with a primary focus on structural design for solar tracker systems equipment pads and site development structures.
This position is ideal for someone with strong technical fundamentals work ethic and a desire to grow into a leadership role.
Structural Design & Engineering:
- Participate in structural engineering efforts for utility substation projects including control enclosures transformer foundations dead-end structures capacitor banks and static masts
- Review project documents and develop structural Basis of Design (BOD) including loads design codes geotechnical inputs and material assumptions
- Design and size shallow and deep foundations (e.g. spread footings drilled piers embedded posts) based on geotechnical recommendations and equipment loads
- Perform load calculations (dead live wind seismic) and develop structural models using accepted FEA tools (e.g. RISA RAM STAAD)
- Coordinate with geotechnical engineers to integrate foundation performance assumptions and loading capacities (e.g. LPILE MFAD inputs)
- Prepare structural drawings elevations details and specifications using AutoCAD and/or Revit for each milestone (30% 60% 90% IFC)
Client & Vendor Coordination:
- Coordinate with electrical engineers control enclosure vendors transformer manufacturers and structure suppliers to obtain and interpret structural performance requirements
- Support client-facing meetings to present a design approach and resolve technical comments
- Review vendor-supplied structural performance requirements and incorporate into foundation and anchorage design
- Respond to RFIs and submittals related to structural foundations design assumptions and special inspections
Other Areas of Focus:
- Provide input on internal design standards templates and QA/QC processes for substation projects
- Assist in developing resource plans scopes and estimates for future HV structural projects
- Collaborate with civil and geotechnical teams to ensure fully integrated substation site design
- Stay current on relevant codes (IBC ASCE 7 NESC etc.) utility standards and AHJ requirements
Team Collaboration & Growth:
- Coordinate with internal geotechnical and civil teams for integrated design
- Attend internal design meetings and client calls as needed to stay aligned with project objectives
- Receive mentorship from senior engineers with the opportunity to gradually take on more responsibility
- Participate in internal learning development and project closeout reviews
