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.

You'll be responsible for ensuring structural integrity from concept through fabrication, balancing code compliance, safety, cost, and manufacturability in an engineered-to-order environment.

Key Responsibilities

Structural Design & Analysis

• 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
• Ensure compliance with AISC, ASME, API, AWS , and customer-specific requirements
• Prepare and review structural calculation packages for internal review, customer submittals, and third-party inspection
