We are currently hiring a Structural Engineer to join our dynamic team. In this role, you will engage in the engineering, designing, and implementing of cutting-edge structural systems for high-tech or industrial facilities with a primary emphasis on steel and strut configurations. As a Structural Engineer at SSOE, you will have a foundation in structural principles, structural analysis & calculations, and a proficiency with Revit and AutoCAD. This position is a hybrid position, requiring occasional onsite work.

Conduct detailed structural analysis, calculations, and design for steel and strut-based systems used in high-tech or industrial facilities. Develop innovative solutions to optimize structural integrity and performance.
• Design and detail complex steel structures, including moment frames, braced frames, trusses, and composite systems, with a deep understanding of steel fabrication and erection techniques.
• Develop innovative strut-based solutions for supporting piping, cable trays, and other * Perform structural evaluations of existing facilities, including condition assessments, load capacity evaluations, and seismic vulnerability assessments.
• Conduct detailed load analysis to determine the forces (dead loads, live loads, seismic loads, etc.) acting on the structure. Consider factors such as occupancy, equipment, and environmental conditions.
• Perform seismic analysis, including response spectrum and time-history analysis, to ensure structural resilience in earthquake-prone regions.
• Evaluate and design for vibration control and mitigation strategies for sensitive equipment and processes.
• Design and optimize steel structures, including trusses, frames, and other load-bearing elements, with a strong emphasis on efficiency, durability, and safety.
• Evaluate stability and safety of the existing systems using structural engineering principles. Ensure that the structure can withstand applied loads without failure. Analyze existing structures for new loads and provide recommendations for strengthening where required.
• Ensure compliance and adherence to all applicable building codes, regulations, and industry standards, including IBC, AISC, ASCE, and local jurisdictional requirements.
• Utilize AutoCAD and Revit software proficiently for modeling, drafting, and detailing structural designs. Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to integrate structural designs seamlessly into larger facility plans.
• Apply established design techniques and exercises discernment in adapting and modifying design concepts as needed. Uphold quality control by adhering to company and team design and CAD standards.
• Will work with Sr. Engineers, Project Managers, and other stakeholders on specific assigned objectives, complex features, and aid in deriving possible solutions to unusual problems.
• Foster collaboration, communication, strategy, and support within your team, multidisciplinary groups (Electrical, Mechanical, Process/Chemical, Architectural, etc.), and inter-company teams to optimize efficiency, quality, and resource allocation.
• Perform thorough field verifications and site walks to assess existing conditions, identify potential design issues, resolving design conflicts, addressing field changes, and ensuring compliance with design intent.

• A Bachelor's in Civil or Structural Engineering from an ABET accredited institution.
• Professional Engineer (PE) and/or Structural Engineer (SE) license are highly preferred.
• Fundamental knowledge of structural analysis techniques and principles.
• Strong understanding of structural analysis principles, design methodologies, and material behavior.
• Strong understanding of building codes, regulations, and industry standards (IBC, AISC, ASCE, etc.).
• Knowledge and/or experience with seismic analysis, vibration analysis, and progressive collapse analysis is highly desirable.
• Experience with structural analysis software such as RISA or STAAD.
• Experience with Revit and AutoCAD is required.
• Experience performing field verifications and site walks to identify, verify, resolve, and incorporate solutions into design packages. Ability to troubleshoot design problems in the field.
• Salary Range: $68,000 - $100,000/year depending on location, education, experience, and any certifications that are directly related to the position.
• Benefits include health, dental, and vision insurance, life insurance, 401K retirement savings plan (with company matching), opportunities for professional development and training, PTO, & paid holidays.

Join us at SSOE, where your expertise will thrive in a dynamic, collaborative environment dedicated to pushing the boundaries of design and engineering excellence. If you're passionate about innovation and eager to make a significant impact, we invite you to apply and become a part of our forward-thinking team.
