Description

Looking for an opportunity to make an impact?

The Leidos Energy, Infrastructure, and Automation operation helps solve utilities' complex challenges through our full life-cycle, performance-based solutions. Our services include engineering, planning, project management, construction management, and commissioning for electric power substations and transmission and distribution lines; protection and controls design; and electrification programs. Utilities consistently come to Leidos for reliable power expertise, as reflected through our work with more than 75 investor-owned utilities and more than 100 municipals/cooperatives across the country as well as a growing number of private developers.

Your greatest work is ahead!

  • Provide subject matter expertise in civil and structural design, review of EPC Contract specifications, and review of drawings and calculations by others.
  • Assist with monitoring and managing projects, developing sales proposals, and completing technology/bankability reviews as needed.
  • Provide Owner's Engineering and Advisory support.

What does Leidos need from me?

  • Bachelor's of Science degree in Civil or Structural engineering with eight plus years of experience working on industrial, power delivery, or power generation project designs or other relevant experience.

  • Competency with various governing design codes used in civil, structural, and geotechnical design, such as the International Building Code (IBC), ASCE 7, ACI 318, AISC, AISI, and others. Familiarity with international codes a plus.
  • Familiarity with structural analysis software including finite element analysis such as STAAD or RISA 3D.Knowledge of Mathcad, AutoCAD, and other structural analysis software is a plus.
  • Ability to successfully meet client deadlines on multiple projects under pressure.Clients requiring subject matter expertise consulting could include private equity, infrastructure and hedge funds, investment and commercial banks, private developers, legal and financial advisors, original equipment manufacturers, DOE, and EIA, among others.
  • Ability to manage schedule commitments related to multiple project reviews at one time.
  • Willingness to travel for project site visits in support of reviews. Travel could include the potential for international travel. The position can periodically include weeks with extended work hours to support client(s) needs.
  • Proficient in the use of Microsoft 365 and Adobe/Bluebeam.

Favorable if you have:

  • Master's degree in civil/structural engineering.

  • Experience in the design of power generation projects, including natural gas combined and simple cycle, wind turbine foundations, solar racking/trackers and the pile foundations, and rooftop solar systems is a strong differentiator.
