Field Services Structural Engineer

Onsite Field Services Structural Engineer role in McGregor, TX supporting field remediation and repair engineering for pre-engineered metal buildings and steel structures.

Responsibilities

• Act as the primary structural engineering resource for the Field Service Department, supporting structural analysis during erection, installation, and field construction.
• Assess as-built conditions, discrepancies, and non-conformances; develop practical, code-compliant repair details and engineering solutions.
• Review and seal engineering calculations, repair details, and field modification drawings in registered States as needed; add professional licenses in additional states when required.
• Handle field-generated RFIs promptly and provide direction to erection crews, project managers, and Field Service personnel to reduce schedule impact.
• Perform site visits as needed to evaluate field conditions, verify installed work, and support complex or high-risk issues.
• Partner with Engineering, Detailing, and Fabrication teams to resolve issues earlier and reduce recurrence on future projects.
• Provide engineering guidance for connection modifications, member reinforcement, and repair methods for medium and high complexity structures.
• Document field observations, corrective actions, and engineering justifications following Allied Steel Buildings’ quality and reporting standards.
• Support and mentor the Field Service team on structural behavior, connection design, and erection sequencing considerations.
• Maintain current proficiency with AISC and AISI material specifications and current editions of ASCE 7, IBC, and MBMA.
• Use sound engineering judgment to protect the public without over-conservatism in the design approach.
• Research building code changes that affect field remediation and repair approaches, then recommend updates to Field Service procedures.
