Job Description

Job Title: Civil/Mechanical Design Engineer "Concrete"

Relocation to Greenville SC Available

Job Description

This role focuses on the structural design of cast-in-place and precast concrete systems, including foundations, pedestals, abutments, retaining walls, and associated structural elements. The Civil Design Engineer performs detailed structural calculations, ensures compliance with relevant codes and standards, and supports multiple concurrent projects in a fast-paced engineering environment. The position offers the opportunity to contribute to a growing engineering team based in a modern downtown office while collaborating closely with fabrication and field operations.

Responsibilities

• Design cast-in-place concrete foundations, pedestals, abutments, retaining walls, and other structural elements for a variety of projects.
• Design and review precast concrete components, including panels, beams, and other elements, as well as their connection systems.
• Perform structural calculations for anchor systems, embedment's, and base connections to ensure safe and efficient load transfer.
• Analyze steel-to-concrete interfaces and structural load paths to confirm structural integrity and performance.
• Ensure all designs comply with applicable ACI, PCI, and relevant building codes and standards.
• Prepare and review detailed drawings and models using AutoCAD and Civil 3D (and related 3D tools such as SolidWorks as applicable).
• Coordinate with project stakeholders to clarify design requirements, address design issues, and support project delivery.
• Manage a portfolio of approximately 30 to 50 projects, maintaining quality and consistency across all deliverables.
• Work within fast-paced project timelines, typically around three months from project start to completion.
• Collaborate with colleagues in the engineering office and steel shop to align design intent with fabrication and installation requirements.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of design processes, standards, and templates to support company growth.

Essential Skills

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering or Structural Engineering, or a closely related discipline such as Mechanical Engineering.
• 3–5 years of experience in structural concrete design.
• Hands-on experience with both cast-in-place and precast concrete systems.
• Proficiency in concrete and foundation design, including analysis and detailing.
• Strong understanding of anchor systems, embedment's, and connection design.
• Ability to analyze steel-to-concrete interfaces and structural load paths.
• Experience using AutoCAD and Civil 3D (or comparable 3D design tools) for structural and civil design.
• Demonstrated capability to manage multiple projects simultaneously, typically 30–50 active projects.
• Comfort working in a fast-paced environment with project durations of around three months from start to finish.
• Working knowledge of ACI, PCI, and relevant building codes and standards.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Experience with SolidWorks or similar 3D modeling software for structural and connection design.
• Experience in project management, including planning, scheduling, and coordinating deliverables.
• Exposure to steel fabrication or shop environments and understanding of constructability considerations.
• Strong communication skills to collaborate effectively with engineering, fabrication, and field teams.
• Attention to detail and a commitment to producing accurate, code-compliant designs.
• Interest in contributing to a growing engineering organization and adapting to evolving processes.

Work Environment

The role is primarily based in a new downtown engineering office that supports company growth and provides a modern, collaborative workspace. The position also involves interaction with a steel shop floor located in Pickens, where designs are translated into fabricated components, although day-to-day work is mainly conducted at the downtown Greenville location. The environment is fast paced, with multiple concurrent projects and typical project durations of approximately three months from initiation to completion. The engineer works with design technologies such as AutoCAD, Civil 3D, and potentially SolidWorks, and collaborates closely with shop and field teams to ensure that office-based designs align with real-world fabrication and installation conditions.
