Job Level: Mid Level
Home District/Group: Kiewit Industrial & Water Engineering
Department: Design Engineering
Market: Industrial
Employment Type: Full Time
Position Overview
Industrial projects don't wait for perfect conditions - they demand skilled engineers who can solve complex problems, lead with confidence, and design structures that stand up to the realities of construction and operations. We are looking for Structural Engineers that have a strong background in structural design in both steel and concrete structures, with interest in development to a Lead level, to lead other engineers and manage projects to support a variety of projects across North America. This role blends deep technical design expertise with hands-on collaboration across disciplines, design and construction teams and project stakeholders. You will drive structural engineering from concept through construction, ensuring that every foundation, steel system and structural component is safe, efficient and buildable. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment and want your work to directly influence cost, schedule and field construction, this is the level of impact you are looking for! Individuals with Steel, concrete and modularized equipment/buildings - are a great fit!
