Our structural engineers are able to design the structural systems for buildings, foundations, and earth retention for all types of new construction, additions, adaptive reuse, and renovations. Our engineers have the knowledge and experience to design projects utilizing steel framing, conventional and pt concrete, mass timber, wood framing, light gauge, and masonry.\n\nEngineers In Training can be responsible for: Calculations, Modeling, Redlining, Detailing, Back checking, Specifications, RFIs, and OOCs. Throughout all steps of the project the Engineer in Training will consult with an assigned Project Manager or Project Engineer. An Engineer in Training may interact with the design architect to resolve design issues, coordinate drawings, and perform CA duties. Engineers In Training will receive tasks from Project Managers. Depending on resource allocation and project complexity task may be one portion of a project such as gravity design or may be broader such as CD’s and CA.\n\nBy developing strong connections with our clients, Colliers Engineering & Design engineers ensure our designs meet project goals. Our projects include new buildings, renovations and re-purposing.\n\nStreamlined coordination with other in-house services will facilitate an efficient approach and complete engineering package that spans all phases of structural design and construction. This includes feasibility studies, scope and condition assessment, code compliance review, static/dynamic load analyses, drawing preparation, bidding services, and construction administration.\n\nBecome knowledgeable with internal systems for structural calculations, structural drawings and construction administration.\nPerform routine structural calculations assigned by Project Manager by hand and with the assistance of design programs and internal spreadsheets to develop personal familiarity with material codes (concrete, steel, wood, masonry, light gauge) and internal resources. Calculations to be reviewed with significant input from Project Manager. Calculations include:\n\nGravity design of beams, columns, studs, etc including connection design.\nLateral design of shear walls, steel braces and LG X-Braces.\nUplift design.\nFoundation design.\nBecome familiar with design codes and methodologies for various materials including:\n\nWood and Light Gauge.\nSteel.\nConcrete and CMU.\nHand sketch redlines on structural drawings for drafting technicians.\nReview structural drawings for compliance with redlines, architecture and internal standards.\nOpen and manipulate architectural drawings to verify the work of drafting technicians and investigate coordination issues.\nPrepare calculation and drawing packages for review by Project Managers or Project Engineers.\nReview material submittals and shop drawings for conformance with structural drawings.\nAssist with inspections, field investigations & surveys.\nEdit and compile relevant specification sections addressing structural items.
