As a premier power engineering and construction management firm in the US, Waldron prides itself on being a leader in advancing new and emerging energy production technologies and developing ways to bring them to commercial application.\nThe Opportunity\nWe are seeking a Structural Engineer who can make an immediate contribution to the engineering and design of multiple central utility plant projects, while developing the technical and leadership skills necessary to enable longer-term professional advancement within the team. The ideal candidate must possess a strong foundation in structural engineering theory and its application, experience producing design documents as part of a team, the desire to work in a fast-paced, multi-discipline environment, and the willingness to learn and to be challenged professionally. The task at Waldron is not simply to design stable structures, but to ensure the design concepts are fully-coordinated with the overall needs of the facility, which includes assessment of constructability and project phasing, anticipation of the design interfaces with other engineering disciplines, reviewing plant operability as well as equipment maintenance and rigging access, addressing Code compliance, and ensuring cost-effectiveness of design solutions.\nThe successful candidate will perform technical work including, but not limited to, the following:\nServe as technical resource on design issues and the application of engineering theories, concepts, principles, and processes to evaluate the structural integrity and seismic strength of structures.\nAnalyze existing structures to determine viability of proposed building alterations that typically include replacement, removal, addition and/or modification of equipment and systems within the building. Conceptualize pathways to achieve Code compliance and meet project goals.\nResearch, plan, and design structural solutions that often require novel concepts and approaches within a multi-discipline team to meet project expectations (technical, operational, aesthetic, construction) for industrial facilities, often with client requirements that exceed typical code minimums.\nDesign dynamic foundations for heavy industrial machinery, including combustion turbines, steam turbines, reciprocating engines and compressors, centrifugal chillers, cooling towers, and other balance-of-plant equipment.\nDevelop design concepts through detailed design stage.\nDesign tasks involving load determination, stress analysis, structural steel design using computational software design tools and hand calculations as appropriate.\nDevelopment of structural design drawings and specifications.\nWork in a team environment with civil, mechanical, electrical and controls engineering disciplines.\nReview shop drawings and facilitate the construction administration process.\nConduct on-site inspections and troubleshooting investigations, as required.\nYour Education & Skills\nBachelor’s Degree (Master’s preferred). 4-10 years of relevant experience\nProficiency with Finite Element Analysis software is required, RISA preferred\nExperience with Autodesk Revit and AutoCad - is required\nWorking knowledge of MathCad, NavisWorks\nHas successfully passed the FE exam\nGood interpersonal and communication skills\nWorks effectively in teams\nPosition Benefits\nExcellent work environment\nGrowth Potential\nDedicated support staff\nTraining and professional development\nCompetitive benefits\nPaid holidays & vacation\nMust be authorized to work for any employer in the United States without sponsorship now and in the future.
