Minimum Skills, Qualifications and Abilities
Education/Certification: Minimum bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering from an accredited school; advanced degree preferred. Registered professional engineer license (P.E.) strongly preferred.
Experience: Minimum 12 years of full‑time, highly relevant experience as a Structural Design Engineer. Requires in‑depth understanding of engineering concepts, principles, theories, strong technical writing, communication, computer and presentation skills, exceptional organization, time management, and ability to manage complex projects with multiple phases.
Specific areas of required experience:
Design and analysis of structures (concrete and steel), use of design software and finite element method analyses.
Working with codes such as ASCE 43, ASCE 4, ACI 349 & 318, ASCE 7, IBC, AISC N690, Steel Construction Manual and Seismic Design Manual.
Use of ANSYS and SAP2000 preferred.
Programming skills (e.g., MATLAB or Python) preferred.
Industry requirements: Eligible to work under Department of Energy 10 CFR Part 810.
Physical Demands
Ability to understand and communicate clearly using phone, personal interaction, and computers.
Ability to learn new job functions and comprehend new concepts quickly and apply them accurately in a rapidly evolving environment.
Frequent sitting and standing, walking, bending, using hands to operate office equipment, and reaching with hands and arms.
