* Job Summary:

** Structural Engineering Leader is generally responsible for supervision and technical direction over a team of engineers including total delivery of the civil/structural deliverables and services on time, within performance budget and meeting quality expectations. Duties may include performing advanced engineering work serving as a technical specialist for complex engineering assignments. Work at this level requires extensive progressive experience in civil/structural engineering and involves utilization of project controls for cost control, scheduling and quality of projects.

This work will be performed under minimal supervision in our Pasadena, TX office.

** Primary responsibilities will include but not be limited to:*
* + Review and approval of all civil/structural deliverables.

+ Validation of professional services and construction estimates at the onset of projects and tracking changes as the project progresses.

+ Accomplishing engineering activities such as stress analysis, construction specifications, material procurement specifications, calculations and estimates.

+ Producing professional service estimates in accordance with the department standards for project deliverables, project studies and estimates, change notices and for the development of new work through proposal efforts.

+ Developing conceptual layouts and cost studies as necessary to determine the simplest, most efficient approach to solving engineering tasks at hand.

+ Establishing the design criteria, incorporating client requirements, estimate and/or scope basis and design basis meeting applicable state, local and federal standards and codes. Ensuring that any requirements for permitting have been established and communicated to the project team.

+ Working knowledge of scope and deliverables.

+ Planning and organizing the work of the team.

+ Maintaining control of the project by tracking and maintaining discipline performance budget progress, schedule commitments, and quality standards.

+ Delegating work to engineers in proportion to their technical skills.

+ Consulting with design leaders from other disciplines in proportion to their technical skills and experience, then following up for support to ensure efficient progress and quality.

+ Producing detail design calculations and sketches for materials of construction associated with the project.

+ Producing project designs with efficient use of construction materials with an overall emphasis on ease of construction and completed product meeting the expectations of the client.

+ Checking calculations made by other engineers to ensure accuracy, conformance to codes, specifications, design criteria and conformance to good engineering practice.

+ Producing construction specifications.

+ Monitoring drawings in progress to ensure conformance to design calculations and specifications.

+ Assisting the drafting group in resolving routine layout and detailing problems. Ensuring that sufficient sketches and details are provided for completion of engineering drawings.

+ Producing bid packages enabling civil/structural purchase inquiries to be issued for procurement of materials or subcontract pricing.

+ Complete understanding of the skills and experience required to perform engineering and design functions.

+ Participating in the planning of training programs, continuous education opportunities and professional development of staff.
