Position Summary

This role involves planning and conducting independent engineering work within a global business environment. It requires sound judgment in evaluating, selecting, and adapting engineering techniques, procedures, and criteria. The engineer will develop innovative approaches to solve complex problems.


Responsibilities

  • Plan, schedule, and coordinate detailed phases of structural engineering work, typically within a single discipline, either on a project or within a staff group.

  • Execute engineering tasks involving standard practices and methods, while also resolving unique or complex challenges such as conflicting design requirements, material suitability, and tight coordination constraints.

  • Utilize appropriate 2D and 3D CAD and CAE tools to perform engineering tasks.

  • Develop and coordinate equipment or work specifications, bid evaluations, and award recommendations.

  • Interface with other engineering disciplines, clients, vendors, suppliers, and contractors to ensure proper coordination of technical aspects.

  • Address constructability requirements and participate in constructability reviews.

  • Provide leadership on assigned tasks, offering technical guidance and mentorship to less experienced engineers or project subgroups.

  • Prepare and review technical documents, including conceptual studies, designs, reports, cost estimates, and proposals.

  • Participate in or lead problem analysis and original design tasks.

  • Perform quantity take-offs, assist in staffing forecasts, and support change order estimates.

  • Review and verify the work of junior engineers and support personnel.

  • Foster a collaborative, inclusive, and innovative work environment.


Required Knowledge and Skills

  • Proficiency in engineering techniques, structural system design, and related calculations.

  • Understanding of internal procedures, industry best practices, and construction methodologies.

  • Competency in CAD (2D/3D), CAE software, and other engineering-related digital tools.

  • Familiarity with project controls, planning methods, and basic economics related to construction and engineering.

  • Solid grasp of industry codes, regulations, and engineering standards relevant to structural design.

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
     

  • Basic Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in Engineering or a related scientific discipline from an accredited institution.

  • Minimum of 9 years of relevant structural engineering experience.

  • Professional Engineering (PE) license or equivalent certification from a recognized licensing board.

  • Completion of specialized coursework relevant to structural or general engineering disciplines.

  • Demonstrated competency in design engineering or related technical work.
     

    Preferred Qualifications

    Experience in executing greenfield or brownfield projects in one or more of the following sectors:

  • Natural gas processing (e.g., liquefaction, regasification)

  • Conversion of coal, gas, or biomass to chemicals (e.g., methanol, ammonia)

  • Petrochemical facilities (e.g., HDPE, LDPE, MEG, PTA, PVC)

  • Carbon capture and sequestration projects

  • Familiarity with modern process technologies and licensors is a plus.


    Additional Qualifications

  • Strong knowledge of precedents, best practices, and standards in the structural discipline and related technical areas.

  • Experience in multidisciplinary coordination and standard engineering activities across small to moderately complex projects.

  • Industry-wide awareness of engineering benchmarks and practices.

  • Renewable or hybrid power systems (solar, combined cycle)

  • Hydrogen technologies (reforming, liquefaction, distribution)

  • Pipeline infrastructure (offshore and onshore)

  • Industrial water systems (e.g., desalination, wastewater treatment)
