  • Provide PE stamping of drawings and calculations across applicable states.

  • Read and interpret blueprints, technical drawings, schematics and engineering documentation.

  • Work closely with Mechanical Engineers, Project Engineers and Designers to develop integrated system and structural designs.

  • Optimise structural designs to reduce material usage, manufacturing costs and loads imposed on building structures.

  • Review and check structural designs and detailing against applicable engineering codes and project requirements.

  • Investigate structural issues and equipment failures and recommend appropriate design modifications.

  • Support manufacturing, fabrication, installation and field engineering activities.

  • Evaluate alternative structural designs and engineering methods to improve performance and constructability.

  • Specify structural components and modifications to ensure compliance with engineering and performance requirements.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's Degree in Civil Engineering with a Structural Engineering focus, or equivalent relevant engineering experience.

  • Licensed/Registered Civil or Structural Professional Engineer (PE) across multiple US states.

  • Experience designing structural steel and support systems for industrial equipment, material handling or automation projects.

  • Experience preparing structural calculations and engineering packages for PE stamping.

  • Strong understanding of structural engineering principles, applicable codes and engineering standards.

  • Experience with structural design software such as STAAD.

  • Proficiency with AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Inventor or similar engineering design software.

  • Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, blueprints and technical specifications.

  • Strong analytical, critical-thinking and problem-solving capabilities.

  • Ability to manage multiple engineering priorities and projects simultaneously.

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.

Preferred Experience

  • Structural engineering experience within Baggage Handling Systems (BHS), Material Handling or industrial automation.

  • Conveyor support structure design.

  • Platforms, header steel, hanger systems and floor support design.

  • Finite Element Analysis (FEA).

  • Experience supporting fabrication, manufacturing and installation teams.

  • Experience working across multidisciplinary mechanical, structural and controls engineering projects.

Reasons to Apply

  • Join a global leader within airport automation and material handling.

  • Work on major Baggage Handling System and airport infrastructure projects.

  • Take ownership of structural engineering calculations and PE-stamped designs.

  • Work across complex structural steel, conveyor and equipment support applications.

  • Opportunity to influence material optimisation, structural weight reduction and manufacturing efficiency.

  • Collaborate with experienced Mechanical, Structural and Project Engineers.

  • Exposure to projects from initial engineering through fabrication, installation and field support.

  • Excellent long-term career progression within a global engineering organisation.
