Position Description

Position Summary

Provides structural engineering support for DSI's HVAC and plumbing mechanical projects, focused on equipment support, seismic bracing/anchorage, and structural coordination for mechanical systems. Works closely with mechanical engineers and designers to ensure mechanical equipment is properly supported and structurally coordinated with the building. This is a support role to DSI's core mechanical scope - not a stand-alone structural design practice.

Key Responsibilities

Design equipment supports, housekeeping pads, and structural attachments for mechanical equipment (rooftop units, chillers, boilers, piping, ductwork, etc.)

Perform seismic bracing and anchorage calculations for mechanical equipment and distribution systems per applicable code requirements

Coordinate structural loading of mechanical equipment with the structural engineer of record and general contractor

Review structural drawings for coordination with mechanical equipment weights, locations, and support requirements

Support site visits and field coordination to verify structural supports match mechanical equipment requirements

Review and respond to RFIs related to structural-mechanical coordination during construction

Ensure structural scope tied to mechanical systems complies with applicable building codes and seismic requirements

Position Requirements

Required Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Structural or Civil Engineering (structural emphasis) or related field

4-8 years' experience in structural design, ideally with exposure to mechanical equipment support and seismic bracing

Working knowledge of equipment anchorage, seismic design requirements, and structural loading analysis

Ability to read and interpret mechanical and structural construction documents

Strong coordination and communication skills for working across mechanical and structural trades

Preferred Qualifications

PE license or EIT (Structural)

Experience with mechanical contractor or design-build project delivery

Familiarity with Revit Structure or similar BIM coordination tools

Benefits Highlights

Competitive base salary commensurate with experience

401(k) plan with company match

Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage

Paid holidays, vacation, and personal time

Training, professional development, and support for licensure/professional association dues
