Senior Structural Engineer

We are looking for an experienced Structural Engineer to join our team specializing in the design and development of skids, pipe racks, and other structural elements crucial for hydrogen producing plants. As a Structural Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in ensuring the integrity, safety, and efficiency of structures within hydrogen production facilities. You will contribute to the advancement of sustainable energy solutions and the transition towards a carbon-free economy.

You will be based in San Carlos, CA and can work on a hybrid basis. You will report to the Director of Mechanical Design Engineering, Fluid Systems.

Responsibilities

• Design and analyze structural components including skids, pipe racks, platforms, supports, and other related structures for hydrogen producing plants.
• Utilize industry-standard software such as STAAD.Pro, RAM Connections, HILTI PROFIS,etc. to perform structural analysis and Revit or similar software for modeling to ensure designs meet required codes, standards, and specifications.
• Collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams including process engineers, mechanical engineers, piping engineers to integrate structural requirements into overall plant design.
• Conduct site visits and surveys to assess existing conditions, provide technical expertise, and ensure compliance with design specifications during construction phases.
• Prepare detailed engineering drawings, specifications, and reports for structural components, ensuring accuracy and adherence to project timelines.
• Perform structural calculations and evaluations to determine load capacities, stability, and structural integrity meeting site specific ASCE 7 loading.
• Stay up to date on industry trends, codes, regulations, and emerging technologies relevant to structural engineering in hydrogen production plants.
• Provide technical support and guidance to project teams, contractors, and stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle.
• Participate in design reviews, risk assessments, and quality control processes to identify and resolve potential issues proactively.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or a related field
• Professional Engineer (PE) license (Civil Structural) is required
• 8+ years of experience in structural engineering, in the design of industrial facilities, chemical plants, or energy-related projects
• Proficiency in structural analysis software such as STAAD.Pro, RAM Connections, RISA 3D or similar tools
• Solid understanding of relevant building codes, standards (e.g., ACI, AISC , ASCE), and industry best practices for structures similar to buildings (e.g. buildings, control rooms, PEMBs etc) open frame structures ( skids, pipe racks, equipment support structures)
• Experience in seismic analysis and design considerations for earthquake-prone regions
• Experience in wind analysis and design considerations for hurricane-prone regions
• Experience with AutoCAD, Revit, or other CAD software for drafting and modeling
• Experience with bolted and welded connection design using RAM connections or RISA
• Experience with BIM 360 for complex construction projects
• Experience interpreting complex engineering data (e.g. Geotech reports, equipment and piping loads etc)
• Understanding of environmental, health, and safety regulations applicable to industrial plants.
