• Project Oversight: Lead the planning, code analysis, and calculations for structural steel and foundations; check and seal engineering calculations for the team.
• Quality Assurance: Maintain strict engineering standards, structural integrity, and robust QA/QC processes.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with drafters, project managers, and clients to translate conceptual structural layouts into accurate 2D AutoCAD drawing sets.
• Estimation & Scoping: Assist with project proposals by estimating steel weights and projecting engineering/drafting hours required for new projects.
• Mentorship: Provide guidance and technical support to junior engineers and designers to foster a culture of excellence.

• Licensure: Active Professional Engineer (PE) license in Ohio is required (or ability to obtain via comity immediately). Ability to obtain a Canadian P.Eng. (specifically British Columbia) is highly valued.

  .
• Software & Fundamentals: Mastery of STAAD.Pro (or similar FEA tools),
  2D AutoCAD
  , and Excel for advanced in-house design tools. Must be comfortable performing and reviewing manual "pencil on paper" calculations.

• Technical Impact: Work on technically challenging, massive-scale projects for major global mining, processing, and industrial clients.
• True Work-Life Balance: Enjoy flexible scheduling designed to accommodate real life.
• Stability & Growth: Benefit from professional development support, fully covered licensing renewals, and a clear path toward internal team leadership.
