Structural Engineer Ii

ResponsibilitiesDennis Group Structural Engineers ensure structures are durable and safe for our industrial projects that involve designing and building food and beverage process facilities. Our structural engineers have strong technical, analytical, design, mathematical, and problem-solving skills. The role is key in the design, permitting, and providing expertise in strength, stability, and stresses for various structures of our construction of new processing facilities and alterations to existing facilities. Members of our structural department have responsibilities that include, but not be limited to:
Work within a team for complex projects or independently for simple projects
Collaboratively uses judgement to determine adaptions in methods for non-routine aspects of assignments.
Applying extensive and diverse knowledge of principles and practices for a wide range of materials and construction techniques.
Performing hand calculations and creating computer analysis models for structural design tasks.
Determine the correct building code
Locate any local or site-specific amendments to the building code
Document gravity design loads, wind design loads, and seismic design loads
Work with and design common structural framing systems (steel, composite steel, joists)
Work with and design common & Uncommon foundations systems (Spread footings, drilled piers)
Work with and design common façade systems (IMP, precast, masonry)
Work with and design common lateral systems (Shear walls, braced frames, moment frames)
Layout preliminary column grid
Estimate foundation types & sizes and preliminary steel sizes
Coordinating structural work with other disciplines
Review geotechnical reports
Deign mat slabs for process tanks, vessels, and silos
Design pipe bridges
