Structural Designer

Overview

Help us build the future and we’ll help you build a rewarding and purposeful career. Our global network is made up of architects, designers, planners, engineers, and environmental scientists all working towards the same goal. Join a team that brings inspirational architecture, landscapes, towns capes and places to our world, and we’ll provide you unlimited space to grow.

Who are we looking for? Our Northeast Engineering Design Organization (EDO) is expanding, and we’re looking for a Structural Designer to join the team. In this role, you will help shape major infrastructure, industrial, and building projects across the region, with a strong emphasis on water and wastewater treatment facilities, energy infrastructure, and other complex structural systems. You will play a key part in developing coordinated 2D and 3D models and producing contract drawings for reinforced concrete and structural steel systems, applying your skill in AutoCAD and BIM platforms—particularly Revit—to create accurate, visually clear, and construction‑ready deliverables.

This is an opportunity to take ownership of modeling efforts for tanks, foundations, slabs, frames, platforms, pipe supports, and steel superstructures while ensuring clarity, precision, and constructability in every detail.

You will collaborate closely with structural engineers and multidisciplinary teams to integrate structural designs with civil, mechanical, electrical, and process elements, driving alignment and resolving clashes through model‑based coordination and tools such as Navisworks and other VR platforms. You will help shape the quality and consistency of project deliverables by applying company standards, contributing to BIM execution plans, and enhancing libraries of templates, families, and standard details.
