As part of our Facilities Engineering Structural team, you’ll work alongside designers, engineers, and architects on real projects for education, government, industrial, and mining facilities. You’ll help prepare drawings and construction documents in AutoCAD and Revit, support redline updates, and learn how structural design fits into the full project workflow.
