What are the responsibilities and job description for the Waterfront Structural Engineer E.I. (Docks & Marinas) position at Kingfish Coastal Engineering & Permitting?
Kingfish Coastal : Waterfront Engineer
I’m hiring an E.I. (Recent Grad or ≈2 years’ experience) in Bradenton to help design docks, seawalls, and marinas along Florida’s Gulf Coast, from Tampa down to Sarasota.
If you like the marine environment, and think you’d enjoy learning how to design structures to withstand a hurricane, you would be an ideal candidate. In this role you will be preparing calculation packages and construction plans for these waterfront projects, working under the review and guidance of a P.E.
The real benefits are:
- You will be working directly under me (Owner / P.E.). You will most likely learn more, and become a better engineer, compared to working for other firms.
- The marine environment is unique, and you’ll occasionally be paid to go on a boat, which is a nice perk.
The cons are that the work is complex at times and detail-oriented. Very few engineers design marine structures, so the work is not as standardized a practice as something like building design, which some engineers would not enjoy.
No marine-specific background is required. The only hard requirements are a degree in civil or structural engineering and a willingness to learn waterfront design
If this is interesting, we invite you to apply.
