We are looking for a candidate who possesses extensive technical knowledge in large-scale concrete and steel structures, and has a successful history of delivering technology-driven industrial projects. A strong commitment to advancing low carbon and resilient design practices is essential.

This role provides the flexibility of a remote work arrangement, with the option to be based from various locations in the U. S. where AECOM has an office.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead structural design and analysis for various data center buildings, including hyperscale and colocation facilities.
  • Create design documentation for tilt-up concrete panels, precast structures, steel framing systems, and deep and shallow foundations.
  • Coordinate design deliverables with architectural, civil, MEP, and construction teams to align with project goals and client standards.
  • Supervise the preparation of construction documents, specifications, and calculations to ensure quality, code compliance, and technical precision.
  • Provide mentorship and technical support to junior engineers and designers.
