Job Description

​Your Impact:

At Jacobs, we’re helping our clients innovate and grow by designing, engineering, and executing the construction of their various facilities that are changing our world. Our talented experts create exceptional spaces across the world through our creative blending of human need, environmental stewardship, value creation, science and art. We believe that built environments should reflect the context, history, cultures, communities, and the natural environment while incorporating advances in technology.

As a Structural Engineering Professional, you will be an integral member of the design team, counted on to assist in the performance of Structural analysis and design for our projects.  You will need strong communication and interpersonal skills as you work closely with your Structural Lead, other Structural Engineers and Designers, and other disciplines.  As part of this team, you will help develop design concepts, complete the analysis and design, and work with our Designers to get the structural requirements communicated on paper and in the model. 

It is expected that you are developing a solid foundation in the fundamentals of Structural Engineering, are gaining experience in multiple subject areas, and are learning how Structural design integrates with and impacts other disciplines.  You will be given as much responsibility as you are willing to take, and your opportunities for career growth will be limited only by your own motivation, capabilities, and attitude. 

Duties and Responsibilities

Under general supervision, competently perform all conventional aspects of Structural Engineering and analysis:

  • With guidance and direction, develop judgment in the independent evaluation, selection, and adaptation of engineering techniques, procedures, and criteria

  • Develop engineering judgement and problem-solving skills, not hesitating to reach out to others for guidance or confirmation when questions arise

  • Develop knowledge of principles and practices of seismic design, including ability to apply required provisions of the building code

Exhibit a high level of attention to detail and quality control:

  • Committed to checking your own work, reaching out to peers and seniors for guidance when questions arise

  • Perform calculation checking of other engineers' work

Take responsibility for managing workload, make and keep commitments, and take full ownership of assigned work:

  • Take complete ownership of your portion of the structural scope, reliably working to meet schedule, budget, and quality requirements

  • You may be given tasks with ill-defined conditions of satisfaction, in which case you will be expected to take the initiative to determine what is needed to meet the project and client needs

  • Clearly define you own scope and start to develop your ability to forecast level of effort needed to complete that scope.

  • Be ready to identify scope change and escalate it to your Structural Lead or Project Manager.

  • Recognize when help is needed, reaching out to peers and senior engineers for guidance

Work in a timely, accurate, and cost-effective manner with strong attention to detail

Working Conditions and Physical Requirements

  • Able to perform field walks.  Though not common, this may include climbing ladders, crawling under raised access floors, or walking/standing for extended periods of time.

  • This position may require you to either work in the local office or from your home office.

  • You may be asked to support work for/in other offices (possibly including Temporary Duty Assignments)

 Here's What You'll Need:

Preferably Bachelor of Science Degree in Civil Engineering, with an emphasis in Structural Engineering

  • Engineer in Training (EIT) Certification

  • Minimum of 2 years of experience in structural engineering

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills

  • Strong interpersonal skills

  • Experience with US building codes including IBC, ASCE 7, ACI, and AISC

  • Professional Engineer License

  • Experience designing and analyzing traditional steel and concrete structures

  • Experience in Semi-conductor industrial or general industrial facilities

  • Experience with STAAD, Navisworks, and Bluebeam

Jacobs. A world where you can.
