About the Role
As a Structural Engineer in our Construction Engineering Practice, you will contribute to the design of temporary works, steel connections, and construction systems that bring complex structures to life. You’ll work on real-world engineering challenges where sequencing, constructability, and field constraints matter as much as analysis. You’ll contribute to small and mid-sized assignments while developing foundational skills in sequencing, stability, constructability, and erection engineering. With support from your team, you’ll work in a collaborative environment ideal for engineers eager to grow their technical and practical expertise.
Responsibilities
- Apply engineering principles to design temporary structures and construction systems, including shoring, bracing, and lifting plans.
- Support the analysis and design of structural steel connections, developing an understanding of connection behavior, detailing, and fabrication constraints, including connections ranging from simple shear connections to complex, multi-member nodes with intricate load paths.
- Prepare calculations, drawings, and models within a BIM environment.
- Collaborate with contractors and fabricators to ensure solutions are practical, efficient, and aligned with field conditions.
- Communicate clearly and professionally with teammates and project partners while learning to navigate real-world construction challenges.
- Build your early-career network and get to know TT’s culture, values, and services while practicing leadership behaviors like authenticity and effective communication.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Civil or Structural Engineering; Master’s degree preferred.
- Familiarity with tools such as ETABS, SAP2000, Tekla, Revit, or AutoCAD is a plus.
- Strong communication skills, a collaborative mindset, and eagerness to learn and grow through feedback.
