Reports To: Engineering / Project Management Team

Position ObjectiveSupport the design, drafting, detailing, and coordination of structural engineering projects for U.S.-based clients by developing accurate structural drawings, construction documents, details, and engineering documentation using Revit and AutoCAD.

The engineer will work closely with structural engineers, architects, project managers, contractors, and other disciplines to translate structural design requirements and engineering calculations into clear, coordinated, and constructible drawing sets that comply with applicable U.S. building codes, engineering standards, and project requirements.

Key ResponsibilitiesStructural Drafting, Detailing & Design

- Develop detailed structural drawings and construction documents for commercial, industrial, residential, and related building projects.
- Produce structural plans, sections, elevations, schedules, and construction details using Revit Structure and AutoCAD.
- Translate structural calculations, engineering sketches, markups, and design requirements into accurate structural drawings.
- Develop and update structural models throughout different phases of design and construction documentation.
- Prepare structural details for foundations, concrete, structural steel, framing systems, connections, and other structural components as required by project scope.
- Incorporate engineer and project manager redlines, comments, and design revisions into structural drawing sets.
- Review drawings for accuracy, completeness, coordination, dimensions, annotations, and constructability.
- Maintain consistency between structural models, drawings, details, schedules, and engineering documentation.
- Assist with structural analysis and calculations when required to support drafting and design development.
- Ensure drawings and structural documentation comply with applicable U.S. building codes, engineering standards, and project requirements.
- Identify drawing conflicts, design inconsistencies, missing information, and potential constructability issues.
- Coordinate structural drawings with architectural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and other engineering disciplines.
- Support the development and maintenance of drafting standards, Revit families, templates, details, and drawing libraries.

Project Coordination
- Support structural projects from schematic design and design development through construction documents and construction administration.
- Review RFIs, submittals, shop drawings, technical documentation, and project-related engineering information.




- Update drawings and models based on RFIs, design revisions, field conditions, and coordination requirements.
- Coordinate with architects, engineers, contractors, project managers, and other project stakeholders.
- Participate in project coordination and technical meetings with U.S.-based teams.
- Communicate drawing revisions, coordination issues, and technical requirements clearly to internal and external teams.
- Maintain organized drawing sets, models, project documentation, and revision records.
- Manage assigned drafting and engineering deliverables and project deadlines.
- Support QA/QC reviews of structural drawings, models, details, calculations, and technical documentation.
- Assist in resolving drafting, coordination, and technical issues that arise during design and construction.
- Support and mentor junior engineers, designers, or drafters when appropriate.
