A bit about us:Founded six decades ago and based in Addison, TX for this role, we are part of a global industrial environmental solutions group. Our team designs emissions control systems for power generation projects that use large combustion turbines. We work across engineering, drafting, and fabrication to turn structural calculations and 3D models into buildable exhaust ducting and support systems.
Why join us?- Design for large-scale power generation. Engineer the exhaust ducting and structural steel that support large combustion turbines. Work through design challenges involving wind, seismic loads, and thermal expansion.
- See how your designs get built. Take your work from member sizing and 3D modeling through fabrication drawing review, and work directly with the shop to resolve questions as they come up.
- Build your industrial engineering experience. Work alongside mechanical and pipe stress engineers and gain hands-on experience with structural analysis, steel design codes, and fabrication.
- Benefits and location flexibility. Medical, dental, and vision coverage, a 401(k), and tuition reimbursement. Onsite work in Addison, TX is preferred, with remote candidates considered and up to 5% travel.
Job DetailsKey Responsibilities and Duties
- Design primary and secondary structural systems for industrial exhaust ducting on power generation projects that use large combustion turbines.
- Size structural steel members using LRFD or ASD. Evaluate bending, deflection, and stability under static, wind, seismic, and thermal loads.
- Develop 3D structural analysis models for ductwork, internal liners, and steel supports.
- Apply AISC 360, ASCE 7, AWS D1.1, and applicable international building codes. Document design assumptions, load cases, and results in calculation packages for client review.
- Review fabrication drawings, answer shop questions, and help resolve material and fabrication issues.
- Coordinate designs with mechanical and pipe stress engineers, project engineers, project managers, and drafters.
Qualifications Needed
- Bachelor's degree in Civil, Mechanical, or Structural Engineering.
- Proficiency with STAAD.Pro or RISA-3D for structural analysis, plus proficiency with AutoCAD.
- Basic understanding of how high temperatures affect material behavior and how thermal expansion affects structural design.
Preferred
- Engineer-in-Training (EIT) status.
- Experience with Autodesk Inventor or comparable 3D mechanical design software.
- Familiarity with thermal expansion in large lined or insulated ductwork or plate structures.
- Experience with finite element analysis (FEA), including mesh modeling.
- Familiarity with industrial welding practices and fabrication constraints.
- Ability to interpret process drawings and piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs) and use them to coordinate ductwork layouts.
