Structural Engineer
Location: Charlotte, NC
Schedule: Hybrid
Overview:
TalentBridge is partnering with a well-established manufacturing organization to identify a Civil/Structural Engineer to support structural engineering needs across multiple production facilities.
This is a hands-on engineering role, not a project management-heavy position. The focus is on applying sound structural engineering fundamentals in real operating environments supporting plant teams with design, evaluation, and problem-solving tied to active manufacturing operations.
The role functions as an internal engineering resource, working directly with plant leadership and operations to ensure structural integrity, safety, and long-term reliability across facilities.
Responsibilities:
  • Design and evaluate structural steel systems, equipment supports, mezzanines, and concrete foundations within manufacturing environments
  • Support plant-driven initiatives including equipment installations, reinforcements, and facility modifications
  • Review and develop construction drawings (AutoCAD)
  • Assess existing structures and provide guidance on structural integrity and safety-related concerns
  • Troubleshoot field issues and provide practical, real-time engineering solutions
  • Partner with plant teams to ensure engineering solutions align with operational needs
  • Coordinate with external engineering firms when stamped drawings or specialized support is required
Projects are varied and include platforms, access structures, equipment foundations, material handling systems, and building modifications. Facilities range from newer builds to legacy sites where drawings may be incomplete requiring strong field judgment and practical problem-solving.

What We're Looking For:
  • Civil or Structural Engineer with ~510+ years of experience
  • PE license is preferred but not required
  • Strong background in structural steel and foundation design
  • Experience in industrial or manufacturing environments is highly relevant
  • Comfortable operating independently and making sound engineering decisions in the field
  • Background in consulting environments is a plus, particularly for those looking to move into an internal, non-billable setting
Tools & Environment:
  • AutoCAD (primary design tool)
  • Exposure to RISA or similar analysis tools is helpful
  • Use of 3D scanning technology (FARO or similar) in certain applications
