Structural Designer

Position Description: Conduct critical Structural Engineering analysis, provide input and perform technical reviews, mitigate potential design risk, identify and solve construction challenges, and generate optimization opportunities for pursuit and execution of design-build and design-bid-build systems projects.

Essential Duties

Perform technical reviews of projects to assess constructability, examine design details, perform quantity takeoffs, and recommend construction sequencing and logistics as related to structural work. Review and evaluate project specific designs, program intent, contractual obligations, division of responsibilities, and deliverables.

Review and assess project documentation such as drawings, basis of design documents, specifications, reports, calculations, and shop drawings related to structural design. Analyze elements of structural systems developed to date, establish sufficiency of design, and identify means of optimizing design components. Propose potential solutions to Design/Construction team for design optimization, risk management challenges, and constructability improvements.

Evaluate and provide guidance for project non-conformances and operations issues. Documents structural review activities in formal report formats, technical memoranda, Bluebeam Studio sessions, and spreadsheet-based comments lists. Establish constructive and effective relationships with internal project team members to facilitate understanding and influence design and project development.

Work in partnership with linked design disciplines to improve coordination of design concepts (e.g. geotechnical, architecture, code-compliance, building envelope and façade, MEFP, vertical transportation, acoustics, and fire). Other activities, duties, and responsibilities as assigned.
