About the Opportunity

A long-established manufacturer in the industrial and material handling industry is seeking a Structural Engineer to support the engineering, development, and installation of large-scale industrial doors, overhead systems, and structural steel assemblies .

  • Review and mark up AutoCAD drawings to ensure accuracy and constructability.
  • Collaborate with fabrication, installation, and project teams to troubleshoot design and field challenges.
  • Conduct onsite inspections and provide engineering guidance during installation and commissioning.
  • Support the development and documentation of engineering standards, materials, and specifications.
  • Ensure compliance with safety codes, engineering standards, and structural integrity requirements .
  • Coordinate with customers, contractors, and internal teams to ensure projects meet design intent and performance criteria.

What You Bring

  • Bachelor’s degree in Structural Engineering, Civil Engineering, or a closely related field ( required ).
  • Professional Engineer (PE) license preferred but not required.
  • 3–10 years of hands-on structural or industrial engineering experience , including exposure to :
  • Structural steel fabrication or erection
  • Overhead doors, cranes, conveyors, or other material handling systems
  • Industrial or heavy commercial projects
  • Strong AutoCAD proficiency (2D required; 3D familiarity preferred).
  • Ability to perform structural calculations, interpret drawings, and validate designs through field application.
  • Excellent communication and problem-solving skills, with a practical approach to real-world engineering challenges.
  • Comfortable working in both office and field environments, with occasional travel for site coordination.
  • Want to Stand Out?

    We invite candidates to record a short video to showcase who they are and why they’re excited about this opportunity. This should feel low-pressure and personal.
