  • Prepare and deliver technical presentations when needed.

What We're Looking For

  • Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, or related field.
  • Strong understanding of AISC steel design standards.
  • Experience with SDS/2 structural detailing/design software.
  • Experience with RAM structural analysis software.
  • Experience with MathCAD or similar engineering calculation software.
  • Strong communication, organization, and problem-solving skills.

Preferred

  • PE license or EIT actively pursuing PE.
