Job Description

Join Olsson's South Facilities Engineering and Design team and help deliver high‑performing buildings across healthcare, education, data centers, laboratories, commercial, and federal markets.

• Apply codes and standards (IBC, ASCE 7, ACI 318, AISC 360) to ensure safe, constructible, and cost‑effective designs.
• Support project planning—estimate level of effort, sequence design tasks, and help maintain scope, schedule, and quality commitments.
• Participate in QA/QC by performing self‑checks and peer reviews; incorporate redlines and lessons learned to elevate deliverables.
• Engage during construction—review submittals/RFIs, conduct site observations, and document field findings that inform design improvements.
• Mentor junior engineers and technicians through task guidance, model setup, and standards adoption.
• Contribute to proposals (scope notes, resumes, past performance) and occasional client meetings to support team growth
