• Apply structural calculations, load analysis, and code compliance (IBC, AISC, AWS, OSHA) to ensure safety, functionality, and manufacturability
• Work in SolidWorks to develop models, drawings, BOMs, weldments, and frame assemblies
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (mechanical engineers, project managers, drafters, and shop leads) to ensure designs are practical, buildable, and aligned with customer needs
• Conduct engineering checks of designs, validate structural assumptions, and guide drafting teams on proper detailing
• Own structural deliverables on projects from kickoff through production, including submittals, reviews, and field issue support
• Participate in design reviews, continuous improvement efforts, and development of standard structural practices and libraries
• Help develop and maintain our in-house engineering standards for platforms, supports, foundations, and lifting systems

REQUIREMENTS

• Bachelor's Degree in Structural, Civil, or Mechanical Engineering
• 3+ years of structural design experience in a fabrication or industrial environment
• Proficiency with structural analysis software (e.g., RISA, STAAD, or equivalent)
• Solid experience in 3D CAD modeling and drafting SolidWorks
• Working knowledge of structural and welding codes: AISC, AWS D1.1, IBC, OSHA
• Excellent attention to detail, organization, and follow-through
• Collaborative attitude and ability to thrive in a fast-paced, hands-on environment

NICE TO HAVE

• Experience designing access systems, walkways, stairs, and fall protection components
• Familiarity with generator packaging, mechanical integration, or fuel tank systems
• Experience building or fabricating what you design—we value engineers who understand the shop floor
