Senior Civil​/Structural Designer

Job Summary

We are seeking an experienced and self‑directed Senior Civil/Structural Designer to join our onsite Capex Design Engineering team. This role is responsible for independently leading the production of civil and structural design deliverables across capital projects at our on‑site manufacturing facility. The ideal candidate brings deep technical knowledge across concrete, steel, and civil disciplines, strong estimating skills, and the ability to execute detailed design from FEL3 through construction in a fast‑paced environment while contributing positively to a collaborative team culture.

• Produce civil and structural design deliverables including plans, sections, and details for structures such as foundations, slabs, equipment pads, platforms, and pipe racks.
• Handle civil scope items including grading, drainage, paving, and site layout.
• Develop and manage detailed design packages from FEL3 estimating through final construction documents.
• Prepare accurate project cost estimates with emphasis on FEL3‑level estimating.
• Maintain organized and accurate design files in compliance with department standards.
• Produce construction drawings and 3D models using AutoCAD and CADWorx.
• Utilize Recap for laser scan data integration and existing conditions modeling.
• Apply additional engineering or modeling tools to improve design quality and efficiency.
• Conduct field surveys and site walk‑downs to verify existing conditions and confirm design constructability.
• Support installation and commissioning activities on‑site, including physically accessing equipment areas (climbing, lifting, working at height).
• Read and interpret field measurements, accurately documenting findings.
• Interface with contractors and site personnel to resolve field issues in real time.
• Work closely with electrical, mechanical, process, and instrumentation disciplines to ensure fully coordinated design packages.
• Participate actively in project meetings and contribute to multidisciplinary problem‑solving.
• Mentor and provide technical guidance to mid‑level and junior designers.
• Promote a positive, collaborative team environment across all disciplines.
• Ensure all designs conform to applicable codes and standards.
• Apply site engineering standards and project‑specific requirements consistently.

Associate degree in Engineering Technology or Computer‑Aided Drafting is required. Certification is not required at this level.

7+ years of relevant industrial experience in an industrial or manufacturing capital projects environment.

• Ability to work independently and lead design efforts without direct supervision.
• Proven experience with FEL3 estimating and detailed design through construction.
• Experience with brownfield/retrofit projects in an active manufacturing facility is strongly preferred.

• Proficiency in AutoCAD and CADWorx for drawing production and 3D plant modeling.
• Experience with Recap for laser scan utilization and integration into design workflows.
• Strong working knowledge of related civil/structural design codes.
• Ability to read, interpret, and mark up multidisciplinary engineering drawings and specifications.
• Familiarity with additional design or project management tools is a plus.

• Perform field work including climbing ladders and structures, lifting up to 30lb, working in confined or elevated spaces, and reading measuring tapes and field instruments.
• Ability to sit, stand, or walk for long periods of time.

This position offers a highly competitive compensation package, including paid time off, health insurance benefits, and matching retirement contributions.
