Senior Civil/Structural Designer

Job Overview:

• The Senior Civil/Structural Designer develops structural modeling using TEKLA, multi-user mode, or single user only if requested, modeling from design drawings. Use of AutoCAD 2D/3D and MicroSAS software.
• Performs and issues the IFC (Issued for Fabrication) Structural Shop Drawings, through the appropriate Document control systems or channels, keeping records of them.
• Coordinates and review structural engineering in accordance with General Notes, welding requirements, fabrication project specification, material specifications, and supplier information to ensure that the executed work meets the Project and Bid requirements and timelines.
• Ensures that deliverables such as Approved for Construction are within procedures.
• Controls and approves all documentation developed by the structural lofting discipline issued on the project.
• Provides a Progress Report, as required.

Our ingenuity fuels daily life. Together, we've forged some of the most trusted partnerships across the energy value chain to make what was once just an idea a reality: laying subsea infrastructure thousands of feet below sea level, installing platforms hundreds of miles from shore, using our expertise to design and build offshore wind infrastructure, and reshaping the onshore landscape to deliver the energy products the world needs safely and sustainably.

For more than 100 years, we've been making the impossible possible. Today, we're driving the energy transition with more than 30,000 of the brightest minds across 54 countries.
