Structural Designer

Remote Structural Designer

Help Build the Infrastructure That Powers Tomorrow

Join a long-established engineering organization with over a century of proven success—where practical design expertise meets real-world impact. As major investments in nuclear and power generation accelerate across North America, this is your chance to contribute to projects that truly matter.

This is a newly created role driven by growth, offering strong long-term stability, consistent work, and the opportunity to be part of a team shaping critical energy infrastructure for years to come.

What It’s Like to Work Here

• Be part of something big – Contribute to large-scale industrial and energy projects that keep communities running
• Stability you can count on – A strong backlog of work extending well into the next decade
• Team-driven environment – Work alongside experienced designers and engineers who value collaboration and knowledge-sharing
• Flexibility built in – Remote or hybrid work options that support your day-to-day life
• A place to grow – Expand your technical skills across complex, high-impact projects

What You’ll Do

In this role, you’ll focus on the hands-on design and drafting of structural systems supporting power generation and industrial facilities. Your work will directly contribute to the successful delivery of major infrastructure projects.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop detailed designs for foundations, structural steel, and industrial support systems
• Create and refine layouts for pipe racks, tank foundations, and auxiliary structures
• Perform structural analysis calculations to support design solutions
• Produce and update design drawings, models, and documentation
• Apply industry codes, standards, and project specifications to design work
• Support projects across nuclear, conventional power, and industrial sectors
• Work with engineering teams to translate concepts into practical, buildable designs
• Assist in design work related to ductwork and emissions control systems

What You Bring

Required:

• 10 years of experience in structural design and drafting (not purely theoretical engineering)
• Strong background in power generation, utilities, or heavy industrial environments
• Experience supporting projects in nuclear, fossil fuel, or energy infrastructure

Preferred:

• Associate’s degree, technical diploma, or B.S. in Civil/Structural discipline
• Experience with seismic design considerations (especially in nuclear settings)

Familiarity with:

• AutoCAD
• Autodesk Advance Steel

Why This Role Stands Out

• Work on large, complex infrastructure projects without being stuck in purely theoretical work
• Join a highly stable organization known for long employee tenure
• Be part of a growing team, not filling someone else’s seat
• Enjoy consistent, long-term project work with minimal uncertainty
• Competitive compensation, PTO, and flexible work options
