  • Working knowledge of MathCAD, AutoCAD/DraftSight, and additional FEA tools.
  • Experience with certifying bodies (ABS, DNVGL, Lloyd's, etc.).
  • Broader knowledge of civil and structural codes (AISC, ANSI, ASTM).
What You'll Do:
  • Design and analyze heavy steel structures for complex load-bearing and lifting applications.
  • Create and validate civil/structural models and FEA simulations to ensure safety and performance.
  • Lead the design of structural steel connections, plate girders, and large assemblies.
  • Oversee material selection and design modifications for heavy-load systems.
