• Serve as the technical lead for civil and structural engineering requirements, design standards, specifications, and project execution.
• Develop and review civil and structural design criteria, calculations, drawings, specifications, scopes of work, and engineering studies.
• Support projects involving site development, grading, drainage, stormwater management, roads, parking areas, underground utilities, foundations, structural steel, concrete, and building modifications.
• Evaluate existing site and structural conditions; identify constraints, risks, and required remediation or reinforcement measures.
• Review engineering design packages for technical quality, code compliance, constructability, maintainability, safety, and alignment with project requirements.
• Coordinate with architectural, mechanical, electrical, process, environmental, and facility engineering disciplines to ensure integrated project solutions.
• Lead technical aspects of capital projects from feasibility and concept development through detailed design, construction, commissioning, and turnover.
• Travel as needed to support site assessments, project meetings, design workshops, construction reviews, inspections, commissioning, and operational-readiness activities.
• Provide technical support during construction, including field observations, resolution of design issues, review of contractor submittals, and evaluation of change requests.
• Ensure projects comply with applicable building codes, structural standards, civil design requirements, permitting obligations, and environmental regulations.
• Support the development and maintenance of civil and structural engineering standards, specifications, guidelines, and standard details.
• Identify design risks, recommend practical mitigations, and support risk assessments associated with facility modifications, infrastructure reliability, and site conditions.
• Support commissioning and turnover activities to confirm civil and structural systems meet intended-use and operational requirements.
• Monitor industry practices, codes, standards, and emerging technologies; incorporate relevant improvements into engineering standards and project delivery practices.
• Provide technical mentoring and subject matter support to project teams and less-experienced engineers.
