Included in this is the full design responsibility for processing specific quotes and orders, general design engineering support for drafting and sales, and providing guidance and training for Associate and Design Engineers. The Project Engineer is responsible to support information for ($2M+) large projects, and to work independently and make technical decisions for small, medium and large projects.

This Individual Contributor is responsible for difficult work on highly technical or involved projects, presenting new or changing problems, requiring the use of outstanding judgment, initiative and ingenuity. The incumbent must also independently work toward objectives on very involved and complex jobs to devise methods and procedures to meet unusual conditions and to make original contributions to solution of complex problems.

• Independently analyze and design products by Finite Element Method (IMPAX design program) and other structural design software taking into consideration both public safety, manufacturability, and minimum cost balancing competitiveness and profitability.
• Interpret customer specifications, customer needs, and market/sales needs.
• Communicate engineering data to the customer and others.
• Itemize cost‑related requirements of a quotation, including weights.
• Review engineering drawings and shop drawings, and evaluate as‑built products.
• Support the presentations of steel poles in sales presentations and meetings.
• Direct efforts of the Drafting Group to assure that project requirements have been properly detailed and that order processing proceeds smoothly and rapidly.
• Recommend changes in design criteria, analysis methods, drafting procedures, and develop new methods and procedures when appropriate.
• Recommend testing to confirm theoretical designs when necessary, including the planning and coordination of the testing.
• Communicate information about new ideas, product and system improvements.

• One year of experience in a professional service or manufacturing setting.
• Experience with Auto CAD (or Micro Station), PLS (Power Line Systems), CADD, PLS Pole, RISA (or other structural analysis program).
• High level of organization for record purposes for email, calculations, etc.
• Ability to understand and support project needs for each individual project in reference to less conservative design (in competitive bid situation) vs replication of existing design for speed of fabrication (for schedule considerations).
