Engineer 1 - Civil/Structural

Parsons extensive experience in this field, combined with your engineering knowledge, will propel your career forward with multiple opportunities for advancement and top performance.  We need our engineers to be versatile, enthusiastic, flexible in group dynamics, team-oriented, and technically competent to handle challenging environments. Our projects require exceptional communication, analytical and management skills to maintain schedules and develop effective project solutions.

IN THIS ROLE: You will have opportunities to work on multiple projects. You will help produce design calculations using the latest computer software; review supplier drawing submittals; perform technical analyses for infrastructure components; and develop supervisory skills when directing young engineers and designers. You will be required to apply basic engineering principles to help develop solutions for the structural aspects of fast-paced projects. You will have regular supervision by principal engineers to further develop your technical expertise and experience. You may be asked to provide field observations of construction to ensure compliance with approved methods and contract requirements.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Complete numerous assignments to further development of construction documents including drawings, specifications and estimates.
• Use design software and CAE/CAD applications to implement project designs.
• Prepare engineering computations, material quantity takeoffs, estimates, and geometric design.
• Develop and implement QA procedures to ensure quality control performed by others is properly implemented throughout the program and assigned project.
• Write detailed reports related to structural phases of assigned project to maintain records and transparency with program managers and Owners.
• Support the needs of other discipline leads during design and construction phase of project development.
• Make site visits to collect field data for structural aspects and evaluate contractor performance.
• Review construction-phase submittals and shop drawings that require specific technical expertise.
• Assist in the development of technical specifications, data sheets and calculations, and other construction related documents.
• Provide input and technical guidance to CAD Designer/Drafters, Designers, and other Engineers working on the same project.
• Perform technical and over-the-shoulder structural reviews for innovations, project constructability and component maintainability.
• Review standards for materials and equipment to ensure the components are in accordance with the specifications and LEED sustainability plan.
• Review design drawings and specifications at periodic check points as required by the PMP milestones.
• Participate in value engineering and scope and budget reconciliation when requested by project manager.

Qualifications:
