  • Exhibit a high level of attention to detail and quality control
    • Committed to checking your own work, reaching out to peers and seniors for guidance when questions arise
    • Perform calculation checking of other engineers' work
  • Take responsibility for managing workload, make and keep commitments, and take full ownership of assigned work
    • Take complete ownership of your portion of the structural scope, reliably working to meet schedule, budget, and quality requirements
    • You may be given tasks with ill-defined conditions of satisfaction, in which case you will be expected to take the initiative to determine what is needed to meet the project and client needs
    • Clearly define your own scope and forecast level of effort needed to complete that scope
    • Be ready to identify scope change and escalate it to your Structural Lead or Project Manager
    • Recognize when help is needed, reaching out to peers and senior engineers for guidance
    • Work in a timely, accurate, and cost-effective manner with strong attention to detail
  • Developing leadership skills
    • Provide technical guidance, coaching, and/or mentorship to designers/drafters and less experienced engineers
