Build What Powers the Future

Join a highly respected engineering firm with over a century of excellence (established in 1905) as we take on major new nuclear and power generation projects across North America. This is not a backfill role — you’ll play a key part in delivering brand-new, large-scale infrastructure projects with long‑term impact through 2033 and beyond.

If you’re a Structural Engineer who thrives on complex engineering challenges, dynamic analysis, and heavy industrial design, this is your opportunity to step into high‑visibility work with significant growth potential.

• Design heavy foundations and structural steel systems for power generation and industrial facilities
• Perform structural calculations, modeling, and design studies (including dynamic and seismic analysis)
• Support nuclear power plant structural and civil design, including small structures and tank foundations
• Design and analyze pipe racks, ductwork systems, and large rotating equipment supports
• Develop engineering deliverables: reports, specifications, and construction drawings
• Review codes, specifications, and design documents to ensure compliance and quality
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams on large‑scale infrastructure and energy projects

• 8+ years of Structural Engineering experience
• Hands‑on experience with nuclear or heavy industrial projects
• Strong experience in structural analysis, calculations, and design

• Experience with dynamic analysis and deep foundations
• Familiarity with AutoCAD or other design software

• B.S. in Civil Engineering (Structural focus)
• PE license (or ability to obtain)
• Experience with seismic design and nuclear codes

• High‑Impact Projects:
  Work on major nuclear and power generation initiatives across the Midwest and Canada
• Career Growth:
  Join a company where engineers build long‑term careers (many 20–40+ years!)
• Strong Team Environment:
  Collaborate with a mix of experienced leaders and rising engineers
• Stability + Innovation:
  Backed by 100+ years of success with a pipeline of new work
• Flexibility:
  Hybrid or fully remote work options
• Expansion Opportunity:
  Be part of a growing team supporting major project wins

You’ll contribute to exciting, technically challenging projects such as:

• Conventional Power Generation (simple cycle plants, large rotating equipment)
• Emission Control Systems (ductwork, industrial upgrades)
• Heavy Industrial Infrastructure (deep foundations, structural steel design)

With a strong backlog of secured projects and a growing client base, we need engineers ready to step in now and make an immediate impact. This role offers long‑term stability, visibility, and growth into engineering leadership or technical specialization.
