• Perform professional structural engineering work and conduct research and inspections of proposed and existing site conditions and structures to determine conformance with applicable rules, standards, and permits.
• Develop construction plans, specifications, and cost estimates; prepare construction safety and phasing plans; update infrastructure layout plans that require coordination with owners, other disciplines, sub‑consultants, and clients.
• Develop or incorporate advanced modeling techniques, concept development, design requirements, and operating strategies to account for the safety and functionality of end‑users and incorporate future‑ready solutions with structural engineering design standards.
• Work individually or as part of a cross‑functional team to execute project work on multiple concurrent projects, assist with laying out installations, establishing reference points/elevations/grades, selecting appropriate materials, calculating costs and quantities, and ensuring conformity with specifications, permit applications, compliance documentation, and regulatory analyses.
• Verify the characteristics of a site, providing technical guidance on securing structural soundness from loads and pressures caused by environmental or human influence.
• Prepare data and visualizations such as tables, charts, accurate reports, sketches, calculations, and 2D/3D illustrations for interpretation or presentation.
• Maintain quality control standards and procedures for accurate and precise measurements, statistical analysis, and reporting.
• Assist with development and scoping of smaller and medium‑sized projects.
• Provide guidance and training to entry‑level engineers and interns.
• Prepare technical reports and presentations that explain research, findings, and recommendations to improve or address design or construction issues or opportunities.
• Assist in the analysis, evaluation, and interpretation of data obtained during site investigations, offering input for action plans for moderate‑to‑high‑level risk mitigation activities.
• Prepare and implement Risk Management and Health and Safety Plans (HASPs).
• Comply with regulatory requirements pertaining to data integrity, documentation, procedures, training, monitoring systems, and record compliance and retention.
• Interact with regulatory agencies, subcontractors, and clients in a confident and professional manner.
