We are a people-centered agency with a passion for leaving every person and business in a better position than we found them.\nWhy Join Offshore Launch?\nImpact the growth and success of small and medium-sized businesses.\nWork in a people-first, remote environment that values growth and ongoing development.\nAccess comprehensive benefits that include HMO, PTO, professional development, and an overall emphasis on teamwork and collaboration.\nContribute to a culture that values partnership, service, and excellence.\nQuite simply: our mission is for you to earn more every single year. And we back you up to make that happen. \nPosition Overview\nWe are seeking a Structural Engineer to support our Professional Engineers by performing structural analysis, developing engineering calculations, and applying code-compliant load math (wind, seismic, gravity) to heavy industrial structures. This is an analysis-led role: the engineer reads loading conditions, applies AISC and IBC code correctly, and builds the structural models and calculation packages that engineering decisions rest on - then carries that same understanding into Tekla Structures drawings so the drafting stays accurate to the underlying design.\nThe successful candidate will work directly with experienced U.S. Professional Engineers and play an important role in delivering structural engineering projects from concept through construction documents.\nPrimary Responsibilities:\nStructural Analysis & Engineering (primary focus):\nPerform structural analysis of heavy industrial structures, including load path, wind, and seismic evaluation.\nDevelop engineering calculations for steel structures, equipment supports, and foundations, applying AISC and IBC code requirements.\nBuild structural models using RISA-3D (preferred) or comparable structural analysis software (RAM, Robot, SAP2000, ETABS, or STAAD).\nAssist with connection and foundation design.\nPerform engineering research and assist with code compliance.\nRevise engineering documents based on internal reviews and client comments.\nDrafting & Documentation (supports the engineering, ~40% of workload):\nPrepare structural steel and concrete drawings using Tekla Structures and AutoCAD.\nDesign and draft industrial equipment, support structures, and concrete foundations.\nReview engineering drawings for accuracy, completeness, and constructability.\nCollaboration & Project Support:\nCollaborate with internal engineers and client teams to meet project requirements.\nOffer structural expertise for equipment like silos, bins, conveyors, mixers, and more.\nProvide support on project timelines, deliverables, and coordination.\nCommunicate clearly with the engineering team to resolve design challenges.\nOrganize project files and maintain engineering documentation.\nSupport multiple projects while maintaining quality and schedule commitments.\nRequired Qualifications:\nBachelor's Degree in Civil or Structural Engineering.\nMinimum 5 years of structural engineering experience.\nDemonstrated experience performing structural analysis and engineering calculations - reading loading conditions and applying code, not just running software templates.\nStrong understanding of structural steel design and load path / physics fundamentals.\nProficiency with AutoCAD.\nStrong written and verbal English communication skills.\nExcellent organizational skills and attention to detail.\nAbility to work independently in a remote environment.\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience with one or more of the following analysis and drafting tools:\nRISA-3D (preferred)\nComparable structural analysis software (RAM, Robot, SAP2000, ETABS, STAAD, or similar)\nIdea StatiCa\nTekla Structures\nConcrete foundation design\nStructural connection design\nHeavy industrial facilities, material handling systems, conveyors, silos, hoppers, equipment support structures\nStructural fabrication drawings\nProgress toward or interest in engineering licensure (PE/SE-track) is a plus - this role supports U.S.-licensed Professional Engineers and does not stamp or certify documents itself.\nStrongly Preferred Technical Knowledge\nExperience designing to U.S. engineering standards, including:\nAISC Steel Construction Manual\nInternational Building Code (IBC)\nASCE 7\nACI 318\nOSHA requirements related to industrial structures\nIdeal Candidate\nThinks like an engineer first - enjoys solving load and code-compliance problems, not just producing drawings.\nHas strong engineering judgment and analytical skills.\nUnderstands structural load paths and constructability.\nLearns new software quickly.\nProduces accurate, organized, high-quality work.\nIs dependable and self-motivated.\nCommunicates effectively in English.\nEnjoys collaborating with engineers and designers.\nIs looking for a long-term career with opportunities for professional growth.\nSchedule: 9AM - 5PM EST\nCompensation & Benefits (to be provided by Offshore Launch):\n$1200 - $1800/mo. depending on experience\n$500 bonus at 90 days and up to $1,8000 in annual performance bonus\n13th month pay\n16 Days PTO\nComprehensive HMO policy, including dependents.\nNote:\nThe Client is not involved in compensation or benefits. As an employee of Offshore Launch, all compensation and benefits are to be provided by the Agency.\nPlease note that we anticipate a response from candidates within 24 hours of our outreach. If we do not receive a reply within this timeframe, we will assume that you are no longer interested in pursuing this opportunity.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5641,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"Upper-Intermediate (B2)","optional":false}]},"benefits":["Professional development"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Artificial Intelligence","Conversational AI","Virtual Assistant Services"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-14T01:14:15Z"}],"liveness":{"score":5,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.181,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":407,"expected_fill_days":36,"reasons":["conf:1","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-09-23T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/offshorelaunch-structural-designer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/offshorelaunch-structural-designer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-09-24T03:13:58Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers"}}
