The Structural Engineer at Clayco will play a crucial role in the design and quality assurance of various industrial projects, including distribution centers, manufacturing facilities, food and beverage plants, and cold storage units. This position is unique as it involves collaboration with in-house Development, Architecture, and Construction teams, allowing for a comprehensive approach to structural design. The engineer will be engaged from the project's inception, enabling them to anticipate and address preliminary design challenges effectively. This proactive involvement ensures that the design aligns with the construction schedule, rather than relying solely on a fully finished package, which is a hallmark of Clayco's design-build methodology. In this role, the Structural Engineer will focus on problem-solving, working closely with architects, engineers, and contractors who are all part of the same team. This collaborative environment fosters ongoing value engineering, where designs are continuously refined based on practical insights and historical construction experience. The engineer will also have the opportunity to conduct site visits and quality assessments, which are essential for identifying and resolving field issues. Building strong relationships with field staff, including superintendents and other on-site personnel, is a key aspect of this position, as it enhances communication and project execution. The position is based in Overland, MO, but it requires some travel due to the nationwide scope of Clayco's clients and projects. The ideal candidate will thrive in a fast-paced design environment, contributing to creative and complex projects that have received awards and recognition in the industry. This role is perfect for an entry-level structural engineer eager to grow and learn within a dynamic and innovative firm.
