• Preparing structural analyses, calculations, design criteria, specifications and engineering reports.
• Authenticating engineering deliverables within your professional authority and assigned scope.
• Reviewing drawings and models for accuracy, constructability and consistency with design intent.
• Coordinating structural requirements with civil, geotechnical, mechanical, electrical and other disciplines.
• Guiding junior engineers and structural designers.
• Supporting site reviews, responding to construction queries and assessing proposed field changes.
• Managing assigned deliverables, communicating progress and identifying technical risks early.

What you'll bring

• An active Illinois Structural Engineer (SE) license and appropriate Wisconsin professional engineering licensure for the proposed scope.
• A bachelor's degree in Civil or Structural Engineering.
• At least five years of progressive structural engineering experience in industrial facilities, buildings or infrastructure.
• Strong experience designing steel and concrete structures and foundations.
• Proficiency with structural analysis software such as SAP2000, ETABS or S-Frame.
• Confidence reviewing and marking up AutoCAD or Revit drawings and models.
• Sound engineering judgment, clear communication and the ability to work independently within a multidisciplinary team.
• A valid driver's license and availability for project-related travel as required.

Familiarity with Canadian structural codes and standards would be an advantage. Please identify any Canadian professional registrations you hold.
