Additionally, this position includes responsibilities for structural design calculations, BIM modeling, coordination with clients and project teams, and construction administration. The candidate will also mentor and manage engineering interns and designers, contributing to the development and implementation of engineering and drafting standards.
Key Responsibilities:- Structural Design and Development:
- Create comprehensive structural design plans for both residential and commercial projects, ensuring they meet project specifications, codes, and client expectations.
- Conduct feasibility studies and apply advanced engineering principles and software to develop safe, efficient, and cost-effective structural solutions.
- Collaborate with architects, contractors, and other stakeholders to seamlessly integrate structural designs into overall project plans.
- Windstorm Resilience Engineering:
- Perform thorough windstorm analyses and develop structural solutions that provide resilience against high winds and adverse weather conditions.
- Implement strategies and design adjustments to mitigate wind-related damage and ensure full compliance with relevant codes and standards.
- Design Review and Optimization:
- Evaluate and refine existing structural designs to enhance performance, resolve potential issues, or adjust to new project requirements.
- Conduct technical analyses and feasibility studies to optimize designs for safety, efficiency, and effective material usage.
- Compliance and Quality Control:
- Ensure all structural designs comply with local, state, and federal building codes and regulations.
- Perform rigorous quality assurance checks to maintain high standards of safety, reliability, and regulatory compliance in all design work.
- Project Management and Collaboration:
- Manage multiple projects concurrently, ensuring timely delivery and adherence to budget constraints.
- Communicate effectively with clients, project managers, and construction teams to address technical issues, provide support, and ensure project objectives are met.
- Documentation and Technical Reporting:
- Prepare comprehensive design documentation, including structural plans, calculations, and technical specifications.
- Generate detailed reports summarizing design assessments, revisions, and windstorm analysis results.
- Mentorship and Standards Development:
- Mentor and manage engineering interns and designers, fostering their professional growth and ensuring adherence to best practices.
- Contribute to the development and implementation of engineering standards, including those related to Revit and BIM modeling, to ensure consistency and quality.
