Structural Design Technician

$69.3k - $121.2k

Jacobs

At Jacobs, we're challenging today to reinvent tomorrow by solving the world's most critical problems for thriving cities, resilient environments, mission-critical outcomes, operational advancement, scientific discovery and cutting-edge manufacturing, turning abstract ideas into realities that transform the world for good.

Your impact
This job opportunity is available at ANY location in the United States. Ideally, selected candidates will be near a JACOBS U.S. based office, but we intend to hire the "best" candidates.

At Jacobs, we help clients plan, design, and deliver complex facilities that support a more connected and sustainable world. We're seeking a Structural Design Technician to support our Advanced Manufacturing Data Centers team.

You'll contribute to the design of hyperscale data centers and other mission-critical facilities. Working with structural engineers, designers, and project teams, you'll develop and update structural drawings and models, coordinate building systems and existing conditions, and help produce clear, accurate construction documents. Your work may include foundations, structural framing, equipment support, and other building elements used in data center projects.

You'll use 2D drafting and BIM tools, including Revit, to support project coordination and quality reviews. Depending on your experience, you may also help organize design work for a small project or work package, follow project standards and procedures, and share technical knowledge with teammates.

Join Jacobs to grow your skills while contributing to data center projects with multidisciplinary teams across the United States.

Here's what you'll need

High School Diploma or equivalent

At least 5 years drafting/design experience in the structural field

At least 1 year of Revit

At least 3 years AutoCAD design experience

Ideally, you'll also have

At least 2 years of Revit experience

Experience working on traditional steel and concrete structures

Experience leading a team of Designers

Experience with Data Centers - Hyperscale

Experience with Navisworks and Bluebeam

The base salary range for this position is $69,300.00 to $121,200.00; though will be paid hourly based on hours worked. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
