Salary: $120,000 – $130,000 per year, plus profit sharing (dependent on experience)
Heavy Industrial Structural / Civil Engineer Role:
The Heavy Industrial Structural / Civil Engineer exists to design, analyze, and ensure the structural integrity of high-consequence heavy industrial plant assets. In this role, you bridge office-based 3D analytical modeling with hands-on field diagnostic assessments to engineer building frameworks, crane runway systems, and specialized dynamic machine foundations for major industrial client sites.
Heavy Industrial Structural / Civil Engineer Responsibilities:
Design heavy structural steel buildings, overhead crane runway systems, monorails, elevated platforms, and dynamic machine foundations
Conduct hands‑on field diagnostic assessments, condition surveys, and drone or laser inspections within active manufacturing facilities
Perform 2D and 3D Finite Element Analysis (FEA), dynamic load modeling, vibration assessments, and capacity evaluation studies
Engineer custom repair, retrofit, and reinforcement strategies for structural components compromised by fatigue, corrosion, thermal expansion, or overload
Develop complete engineering design packages including technical calculations, detailed specifications, scope of work documents, and Bills of Materials (BOM)
Collaborate with internal mechanical, electrical, and certified welding inspection teams to deliver downtime‑minimizing engineering solutions
Support forensic investigations and Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) for structural and industrial equipment failures
Review structural engineering drawings and technical deliverables for full compliance with applicable design codes
Assist in project scope development and technical presentation deliverables for client representatives
Heavy Industrial Structural / Civil Engineer Reporting Relationships:
In this position, candidates report directly to our client's Engineering Manager / Structural Practice Leader and work alongside multi-disciplinary project teams without direct supervisory responsibilities.
