This role leads structural engineering design and supervision for large industrial projects, combining hands-on structural design, project management, and department leadership. The Structural Engineer oversees project design, guides a team of designers and CAD professionals, manages structural calculations and code compliance, and supports business development activities. The position offers a clear path to senior leadership, including potential progression into a VP role and the opportunity to acquire ownership equity over time.

• Plan structural engineering work and oversee the preparation of drawings to meet project requirements and design intent.
• Perform field work, including inspecting plant conditions, verifying existing plant conditions, and collecting data needed for design.
• Design structural systems and layouts for new equipment to ensure efficient use of space and resources in industrial facilities.
• Develop structural design concepts for the installation of equipment and supporting structures in industrial environments.
• Coordinate closely with other engineering disciplines to produce projects that meet design intent while achieving the lowest total installed cost.
• Verify that detailed designs comply with applicable codes, internal standards, and the original design intent.
• Lead and manage the workload of direct reports, including designers, CAD professionals, and junior structural engineers.
• Conduct annual performance reviews for direct reports and contribute to annual raise and compensation calculations.
• Provide overall design responsibility for all structural work on assigned projects.
• Offer design guidance and perform technical reviews of structural work completed by others to ensure quality and consistency.
• Perform structural calculations using appropriate software and methods to support safe, code-compliant designs.
• Apply and interpret applicable structural codes and standards to ensure all designs meet regulatory and safety requirements.
• Stamp structural drawings for projects in Alabama, Florida, and Georgia in accordance with professional engineering licensure responsibilities.
• Establish and maintain positive, long-term relationships with clients through regular communication and reliable project delivery.
• Lead scope development by interfacing with clients to clarify needs, expectations, and project objectives.
• Communicate project scope requirements clearly to designers and other engineers to ensure alignment and efficient execution.
• Obtain and evaluate quotes for engineering services, equipment, materials, and construction services as part of project planning.
• Prepare bid packages, lead bid meetings, and evaluate bids to support informed procurement decisions.
• Manage procurement and construction activities, coordinating with contractors and vendors to keep projects on schedule and within budget.
• Coordinate project safety, schedule, and logistics issues with internal teams and external partners.
• Lead checkout and startup activities to ensure structural elements and associated systems are installed and functioning as designed.
• Control project documents throughout the project lifecycle and issue final documentation to clients for permanent records.
• Close out projects in the internal file system to ensure proper documentation, archiving, and knowledge transfer.
• Participate in bid meetings and site walkdowns with clients to assess project opportunities and requirements.
• Support internal proposal development by providing technical input, scope definitions, and structural engineering estimates.
• Contribute to business development efforts by representing the structural discipline in client interactions and proposal activities.

• Active Professional Engineer (PE) license with the ability to stamp structural drawings in Alabama, Florida, and Georgia.
• Significant structural engineering experience with large industrial projects, rather than primarily commercial work.
• Proficiency in structural design for industrial facilities, including equipment support structures and plant layouts.
• Experience in project design supervision, including planning work, overseeing drawings, and ensuring design intent is met.
• Demonstrated ability to perform detailed structural calculations and apply relevant structural codes and standards.
• Proficiency with AutoCAD 2D as the primary design software for structural and layout drawings.
• Experience using AutoCAD Plant 3D for industrial plant design and coordination.
