Orbital is seeking an experienced Structural Engineer to support the execution of an Asset Integrity and Asset Management program at a client facility in Granite City, IL. This is a field-based engineering position embedded at the client's site, focused on structural evaluation, repair engineering, and long-term asset management planning.

In this role, you will serve as Orbital's on-site structural engineering resource, working with a high degree of independence while receiving technical oversight and managerial support from Orbital's office-based project team. You will be responsible for translating inspection findings into sound engineering solutions and supporting the client in making informed, risk-based decisions about their structural assets.

This position is well suited for an engineer who is equally comfortable at a desk reviewing calculations and at a facility reviewing conditions firsthand - someone who takes ownership of the engineering work and sees it through from assessment to solution.

• Serve as the primary engineering resource for structural asset evaluations, applying engineering judgment to assess condition, identify deficiencies, and prioritize corrective actions.
• Review and interpret structural inspection findings generated by the program's inspection team, translating field data into engineering evaluations and recommendations.
• Perform site visits to structures as needed to verify conditions, gather supplemental information, and inform engineering decisions — not as an inspector, but as the engineer responsible for the solution.
• Prepare engineering reports, condition assessments, and technical recommendations for review by the client and Orbital's project team.

• Develop repair scopes and capital recommendations based on engineering evaluations, condition assessments, and client priorities.
• Prepare calculations, designs, and repair drawings in support of identified repair and improvement projects.
• Coordinate with Orbital's office engineering team to ensure repair solutions are technically sound, code-compliant, and aligned with client requirements.
• Provide engineering support during repair execution as needed — answering RFIs, reviewing submittals, and resolving field conditions.

• Support long‑term asset management planning by contributing engineering expertise to condition assessments, maintenance strategies, and capital planning initiatives.
• Maintain accurate records of engineering evaluations, calculations, and repair histories to support Asset Management databases and long‑term tracking.
• Identify recurring deficiency patterns and develop proactive engineering recommendations to support the client's long‑term asset reliability goals.
• Contribute to the continued growth and improvement of Orbital's Asset Management and Repair Services capabilities.

• Comply with all Orbital, client, OSHA, MSHA, and site‑specific safety requirements.
• Complete all work in accordance with applicable codes, standards, and Orbital's Quality Management System (QMS).
• Participate in pre‑job planning, job hazard analyses (JHAs), and safety meetings as required.
• Promote consistency, repeatability, and continuous improvement in engineering execution and documentation quality.

• Serve as the primary on‑site structural engineering point of contact for the client's operations, maintenance, and engineering teams.
• Maintain strong working relationships with client personnel and Orbital's field‑ and office‑based project leadership.
• Communicate engineering findings,…
