Pay & Benefits

About the Role

We’re seeking an experienced Structural Engineer to support the design and validation of large, engineered industrial cooling systems and heat exchanger assemblies. This role is ideal for a hands-on structural engineer who enjoys applying sound engineering judgment to real-world fabrication challenges and collaborating closely with manufacturing, drafting, and mechanical teams.

Key Responsibilities

Structural Design & Analysis

Design and analyze structural steel frames, skids, platforms, pipe racks, and support structures for industrial heat transfer equipment

Evaluate loading conditions including dead, live, wind, seismic, thermal expansion, transportation, lifting, and installation loads

Design base frames, saddles, beams, columns, bracing systems, lifting lugs, and tie-down features

Perform hand calculations and finite element analysis (FEA) to validate global and local structural behavior

Optimize designs for weight, cost, and manufacturability while meeting stress and deflection criteria

Prepare and review structural calculation packages for internal review, customer submittals, and third-party inspection

Manufacturing & Fabrication Support

Partner with fabrication and manufacturing teams to ensure designs are practical, buildable, and cost-effective

Review shop drawings and resolve fabrication-related structural issues

Support lifting, rigging, and transportation planning for large assemblies

Coordinate closely with mechanical, thermal, process, and drafting teams to integrate structural requirements

Provide technical input during design reviews, project kickoffs, and customer discussions

Quality, Safety & Continuous Improvement

Participate in internal design reviews and lessons-learned initiatives

Identify opportunities to standardize structural details and improve design efficiency

Support root cause analysis for structural nonconformances or field issues

Promote a strong culture of safety, accuracy, and engineering accountability

Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering , or Mechanical Engineering with strong structural emphasis

3–8 years of experience designing structural steel frames and skids in an industrial or heavy manufacturing environment

Strong understanding of steel design, welded connections, bolted joints, and load path development

Proficiency with AISC-based design methods and structural analysis software (ANSYS, STAAD, SAP2000, or similar)

Ability to produce clear, defensible calculation packages suitable for customer and third-party review

Work Environment

This role is primarily office-based with regular interaction in a manufacturing facility. PPE is required when on the shop floor, including safety glasses, hearing protection, and safety footwear. The manufacturing environment includes typical fabrication conditions such as noise, dust, and temperature variation. Occasional lifting up to 25 lbs. may be required.
