Atkins is one of the world’s most respected design, engineering and project management consultancies. Atkins has been providing infrastructure planning, engineering, construction, environmental consulting, urban planning, architecture, and program management services to public and private clients across the United States for more than 50 years.
Atkins has the depth and breadth of expertise to respond to the most technically challenging and time-critical infrastructure projects and the urgent transition to a low-carbon economy.
Atkins seeks an energetic and highly motivated self-starter to join our Hillsboro,OR Engineering Group as a Structural Project Engineer.
MAJOR FUNCTION/ROLE
This position will be responsible for the structural design, supervision and production of diverse projects located in Oregon and throughout the US. Applies intensive and diversified knowledge of engineering principles and practices in broad areas of assignments. Makes decisions independently on complex engineered systems, commensurate with experience and seniority. Applies knowledge of Civil, Structural and Architectural (CS&A) principles to design, plan, permit and construct civil works. Upholds engineering ethics and standards of conduct.
Structural Project Engineers are one of the first to be consulted for any major construction project related to wet and dry mechanical facilities systems. Early in the project, they assess feasibility of new projects. They later develop more detailed scope through field walks and collaboration with facilities operations partners and project engineers from other disciplines. During detailed design and construction performed by our world-class supply chain partners, our Structural Project Engineers serve as the Owner’s representative to provide technical guidance and issue resolution.
Our Project Engineers are the primary leaders who develop discipline scope and engineering solutions for construction projects. They interface and coordinate with contract design, construction, scheduling, and estimating resources. They also interface with facilities staff and project managers to enable facility design efforts for their area of expertise. Project Engineers define design criteria, lead scope definition and justification, develop design concepts, and oversee completion of positioning, programming and detailed design. They work with estimators to ensure costs are captured and project budgets are met. Project Engineers have strong knowledge of Intel’s master specifications and standards yet use our change process to improve those standards and drive innovative solutions.
