LDIS LLC, a Tetra Tech Company, provides integrated engineering and design solutions for the Energy, Renewables, Water Treatment and Life Sciences markets. Our team meets these changing needs by being a trusted partner to each of our clients.

In addition to conventional Oil & Gas facility solutions and designs, our projects include Hydrogen Electrolysis, Ammonia Production Facilities, Renewable Natural Gas Processing, Emissions Reduction Studies, Carbon Capture and Sequestration, wastewater, pharmaceuticals, and much more.

Structural designers perform complex structural designs. They are responsible for drafting computer models based on project needs and creating drawings that are used for final construction plans. Additionally, these designers must follow strict safety standards on their preliminary sketches, adequately take construction materials into account for designs, and meet deadlines.

They prepare structural plans and implement feedback from structural engineers. Previous experience in AutoCAD structural modeling and drawing production is required. CADWorx structure experience a plus. Structural designers must be proficient with AutoCAD, pay strong attention to detail, and be highly organized. Structural designers should have advanced knowledge of industrial methodologies as well.

The primary role of a Civil/Structural Designer III is to create 3D CAD models and construction drawings for our client’s projects. Models and drawing details will be created in accordance with sketches prepared by the engineer. Drawings will be created using industry recognized standards for line weight, dimensioning, and views/sections necessary to convey the design. Attention to detail, accuracy, drawing ease of readability are qualities expected from a Civil/Structural Designer.

• Generates 3D foundation and structural steel models with minimal supervision.
• Working with equipment vendor drawings create workable design.
• Create overall and partial foundation location plans with Northing/Easting coordinates.
• Create concrete foundation plans and sections depicting reinforcing design based on sketches prepared by engineer following example drawings.
• Create structural steel design plans and sections depicting reinforcing design based on sketches prepared by engineer following example drawings.
• Prepare clear and concise revisions to previously issued construction drawings.
• Coordinate efficient design/resolve conflicts with other disciplines.
• Some knowledge of site grading and erosion & sediment control drawings.
• Tracks schedule and budget during the duration of a project and anticipates manpower overage or underage.
• Tracks project scope changes and initiates change orders to management.

• Required:
  
  High school diploma and post-secondary training preferred.
• Minimum 4-10 years’ experience in design, drafting and modeling.
• Demonstrated capability in successfully completing projects.
• Multiple years’ experience in design, drafting and modeling.
• Oil and Gas experience including refineries and gas processing.
• Proficient in current engineering design and drafting software packages.
• Operational knowledge of spreadsheet and database programs.
• AutoCAD 3D modeling, CADWorx experience.
• Civil design experience using AutoCAD Civil 3D not required but a plus.
