PE License:

• Licensed Professional Engineer: preference given to candidates actively registered in multiple western and northwest states (CA, HI, AK, WA, OR, ID, MT, WY, UT, NV) with NCEES/NSPE accreditation for reciprocity to qualify for future additional state registrations.

Essential Duties & Responsibilities

• Provide assistance to the engineering team (or individually) to move a project through the structural design phase
• Provide a complete structural calculations package for the entire design of modular units both individually and as a multi-unit complex for the state submission of each project
• Structural calculations are to include a comprehensive design of the modular unit for both the gravity and lateral systems
• Gravity designs consist of roof framing members, bearing walls, continuous span multi-layer plywood beams, structural steel clean-span trusses, engineered posts, built-up posts, HSS structural steel posts, floor joists, and wide flange structural steel chassis members
• Lateral design consists of roof and floor diaphragm sheathing, exterior wall shearwalls, interior wall shearwalls, and structural steel portal frames
• Ability to complete ‘special interest’ projects from start to finish including multi-story modular unit complexes, shipping container conversion projects, and others
• Other duties as assigned

This position is also expected to:

• Work efficiently in a fast-paced environment

• Complete and current NCEES record holder
• Minimum of three (3) years’ experience as a practicing P.E. (civil/structural)
• Experience in load development and correct application to the structure
• Experience developing structural calculations for gravity and lateral systems
• Experience reviewing drawings and developing structural details
• Structural analysis/engineering design software proficiency in:
• Excel (in-house database usage)
• ENERCALC – Structural Engineering Library
• Tekla – TEDDS
• RISA – 3D
• RGS Software – CFS 14
• Woodworks
• Bluebeam Revu
• Ability to develop gravity and lateral systems from concept through completion
• Ability to analyze and provide structural designs with many different materials such as wood, cold-formed steel and structural steel
• Ability to provide complete design of various building components including roof rafters, wall studs, floor joists, clearspan steel trusses, shearwall panels, structural steel portal frames and others
• Familiarity with current building codes (IBC, ASCE, NDS, AISC, AISI)

Preferred Skills

• Experience in an engineering setting with drafting responsibilities and the shop drawing review process
• Field inspection experience
• Multi-story wood design experience
• Shipping container conversion design experience

Job Requirements

• Able to successfully pass a criminal background check (following a conditional offer of employment)
