About the Company

Our national energy client is a leading provider of custom power augmentation and energy plant solutions serving the power generation, utilities, LNG, data center, biopharma, and industrial markets. For more than two decades, the organization has delivered innovative systems for turbine inlet air chilling (TIAC), combined heat and power (CHP), district cooling, and other advanced energy applications worldwide.

The Senior Structural Engineer will be responsible for the design, analysis, and oversight of modular energy plant structures, ensuring they meet all structural and safety standards from concept through fabrication. This role plays a key part in developing complex projects such as TIAC, CHP, Mission Critical, and District Cooling Plants while collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to deliver reliable and efficient solutions.

This position is ideal for an experienced structural engineer who enjoys a mix of technical design, problem‑solving, and project collaboration within a dynamic energy‑focused environment.

• Lead the structural design of modular energy plants, ensuring compliance with applicable codes and project specifications.
• Conduct detailed structural analysis, including seismic and wind load calculations.
• Coordinate with designers and external consultants to produce fabrication drawings and detailed design packages.
• Provide technical guidance and review throughout the engineering lifecycle—from bid support to production and site installation.
• Participate in cross‑functional project teams to develop and execute modular plant solutions.
• Support business development teams by providing technical input, material estimates, and specification reviews during proposal stages.
• Conduct factory and site visits to ensure structural integrity, quality, and compliance.
• Assist with pipe stress analysis and determine structural and pipe support loads as needed.
• Prepare and review engineering deliverables such as specifications, calculations, and design control documents.

Required

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil or Structural Engineering from an accredited university.
• Professional Engineer (PE) license with the ability to register in Florida.
• Minimum of 10 years of experience in power plant or industrial plant design.

• Strong technical and analytical capabilities.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
• Detail‑oriented with strong problem‑solving abilities.
• Ability to manage multiple projects and priorities effectively.

• Primarily office‑based with periodic visits to fabrication shops or job sites (requiring PPE such as safety glasses, steel‑toed boots, and hard hats).
• Typical work hours:
  Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.
• Occasional lifting of up to 25 lbs and physical mobility for inspections.
• Up to 15% travel expected, including local day trips.
• Must be authorized to work in the U.S. and hold a valid passport.

• Turbine Inlet Air Cooling (TIAC) Plants:
  Enhance gas turbine performance by cooling inlet air.
• Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Plants:
  Generate electricity and thermal energy efficiently.
• District Cooling Systems:
  Deliver chilled water to multiple buildings from a central plant.
• Central Utility and Thermal Energy Storage Systems:
  Support large‑scale facilities with balanced energy solutions.
