Primary responsibilities of the Senior Structural Engineer will include:

• Leading a project team in the production of structural designs with a great deal of autonomy
• Ensuring quality program compliance, including delivery of work products that adhere to Garver standardization
• Working within a multi-disciplined team (civil, process, mechanical, electrical, and I&C) of engineers, designers, and technicians in the development of various Water Business Line projects
• Managing multiple projects concurrently
• Managing time and ensuring work product quality
• Mentoring, equipping, training, and developing junior team members to become effective design professionals and undertake increasingly complex assignments and responsibilities as they grow

Due to the collaborative nature of coordination for large infrastructure projects, candidates must seek out and resolve issues through close interaction with other project team members. They must maintain a positive team attitude and interpersonal effectiveness to recruit, develop, and maintain an efficient and productive structural team.
