About the Role:

Avail Technical Design Group (ATDG) is seeking a motivated early-career engineer or structural design support specialist to assist with structural modeling, analysis support, and technical production tasks.

This role is ideal for someone early in their career who is looking to gain hands-on experience working directly with real projects involving steel and concrete systems, industrial-type structures, and structural analysis workflows.

This is a support role, not a lead engineering position. Work will be performed in a hybrid setting with some in-person collaboration required.

Key Responsibilities:

• Assist with building and modifying structural models in RISA-3D
• Support structural analysis tasks (loads, members, boundary conditions, etc.)
• Organize and export calculation results
• Assist with early-stage modeling and layout in Revit (light modeling, not drafting-focused)
• Support general technical workflows and project organization
• Execute tasks based on direction and redlines

Required (Must-Have):

• Exposure to or working knowledge of RISA-3D
• Basic understanding of steel and/or concrete structural systems
• Strong attention to detail and ability to follow direction
• Willingness to work in a hybrid/local setup (Raeford, NC area)
• Comfortable working in a technical, fast-paced environment

Familiarity With (Expected, but not expert-level):

• AutoCAD
• Autodesk Revit (for modeling and layout)
• Microsoft 365 (Excel, Teams, OneDrive)
• Google Meet
• General 3D modeling or BIM workflows

Nice to Have (Bonus Skills):

• Experience with RISAConnection or RISAFoundation
• Exposure to industrial structures (platforms, framing systems, foundations)
• Familiarity with Navisworks or coordination tools
• Experience organizing calculation packages or engineering documentation

What You’ll Gain:

• Direct exposure to real-world structural engineering workflows
• Hands-on experience with analysis software and modeling
• Opportunity to grow into a larger role over time
• Mentorship and real project involvement

Work Structure:

• Hybrid (Raeford, NC area – some in-person work required)
• Part-time to start (15–25 hours/week)
• Flexible scheduling depending on workload

Compensation:

• $15–$30/hr (based on experience and capability)

Who This Role Is Best For:

• Recent graduates (0–5 years experience)
• Early-career engineers looking for hands-on experience
• Technically curious individuals who are comfortable learning new tools quickly
• Someone who is tech-savvy and adaptable, and can support both engineering and digital workflows

Application Question(s):

• Describe how you would set up a simple steel beam or frame in RISA-3D from start to finish. Include how you define members, supports, loads, and how you review the results.

Education:

• Associate (Preferred)

Experience:

• Structural Analysis: 1 year (Required)

Ability to Commute:
