As a Senior Structural Design Engineer with Kiewit Nuclear Solutions
, you’ll take on some of the most challenging and meaningful structural engineering work in the industry. You’ll lead the analysis and design of complex concrete and steel structures, foundations, equipment supports, and critical infrastructure supporting nuclear, power, and industrial projects across North America.

This is an opportunity to do more than execute designs. You’ll solve complex engineering challenges, influence technical solutions, lead critical design efforts, and mentor and develop the next generation of structural engineers. Working alongside multidisciplinary engineering and construction teams, you’ll contribute throughout the full project lifecycle, from early design and FEED through detailed engineering, procurement, and construction support.
