Job Description

Title: Heavy Industrial Structural / Civil Engineer

Shift: First Shift (Standard Business Hours, Monday – Friday)

Salary: $90,000 – $100,000 per year, plus profit sharing (dependent on experience)

Heavy Industrial Structural / Civil Engineer Role:

The Heavy Industrial Structural / Civil Engineer exists to design, analyze, and ensure the structural integrity of high-consequence heavy industrial plant assets. In this role, you bridge office-based 3D analytical modeling with hands-on field diagnostic assessments to engineer building frameworks, crane runway systems, and specialized dynamic machine foundations for major industrial client sites.

Heavy Industrial Structural / Civil Engineer Responsibilities:

• Design heavy structural steel buildings, overhead crane runway systems, monorails, elevated platforms, and dynamic machine foundations
• Conduct hands-on field diagnostic assessments, condition surveys, and drone or laser inspections within active manufacturing facilities
• Perform 2D and 3D Finite Element Analysis (FEA), dynamic load modeling, vibration assessments, and capacity evaluation studies
• Engineer custom repair, retrofit, and reinforcement strategies for structural components compromised by fatigue, corrosion, thermal expansion, or overload
• Develop complete engineering design packages including technical calculations, detailed specifications, scope of work documents, and Bills of Materials (BOM)
• Collaborate with internal mechanical, electrical, and certified welding inspection teams to deliver downtime-minimizing engineering solutions
• Support forensic investigations and Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) for structural and industrial equipment failures
• Review structural engineering drawings and technical deliverables for full compliance with applicable design codes
• Assist in project scope development and technical presentation deliverables for client representatives

Heavy Industrial Structural / Civil Engineer Reporting Relationships:

In this position, candidates report directly to our client's Engineering Manager / Structural Practice Leader and work alongside multi-disciplinary project teams without direct supervisory responsibilities.

About You:

• Hold a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering (BSCE) or Structural Engineering (BSSE) from an ABET-accredited institution
• Maintain an active Professional Engineer (PE) license in Ohio or possess immediate reciprocity eligibility, with EIT/FE certification considered
• Possess 3 to 8+ years of experience in heavy industrial structural design, steel mill manufacturing, or industrial engineering consulting
• Demonstrate technical proficiency with AISC, ACI, IBC, and specialized crane design standards including CMAA and AIST Technical Report No. 13
• Utilize structural analysis software such as STAAD.Pro, RISA-3D, or ANSYS for complex load modeling
• Operate drafting and modeling platforms including AutoCAD and Revit
• Apply core knowledge of shallow and deep pile foundation design, dynamic loading mechanics, structural weld integrity, and failure analysis
• Maintain a field-ready mindset comfortable navigating active industrial manufacturing environments
• Possess strong technical writing skills and clear client-facing communication capabilities

Next Steps:

If you are an analytical problem-solver and a field-ready engineer, we would like to hear from you. Please submit your resume to our recruiting team to initiate a confidential candidate consultation.
