Our scope spans Engineering, prototype builds, through full production, requiring teams that can move fast, adapt, and execute with precision.   GTI Values: Safety I Quality I Customer Obsession I Speed I Agility 

Position Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled Structural Engineer to join our engineering team and drive the design, analysis, and validation of modular steel structures. While experience in bridge or suspended structure design is highly valued, the core focus of this role is on modular fabrication, large welded assemblies, and containerized structures used in high-load industrial environments.

This role requires for a hands-on engineer who can translate concepts into production-ready designs, work closely with fabrication teams, and ensure structural integrity, safety, and code compliance. May require 25% travel.


Key Responsibilities Structural Design & Analysis
  • Structural Engineer is responsible for designing modular steel structures, large welded assemblies, platforms, frames, and load-bearing systems for containerized and enclosure-based applications.
  • Perform structural analysis using FEA software and hand calculations to evaluate static and dynamic loads, fatigue, seismic, and wind loading.
  • Incorporate bridge engineering principles when applicable to long-span or suspended modular systems.
    • Engineering Documentation
  • Develop engineering drawings, design reports, and complete technical documentation using SolidWorks, AutoCAD, and Revit/BIM tools.
  • Produce accurate bills of materials (BOMs), weld symbols, and fabrication-ready drawings.
    • Manufacturing Collaboration
  • Partner with fabrication, quality, and project teams to ensure structural designs are optimized for manufacturability, cost efficiency, and internal capability.
  • Support shop drawing reviews, first article builds, and QA/QC testing for structural validation.
    • Field & Deployment Support
  • Conduct site assessments, participate in installation support, and perform structural evaluations of deployed modular systems.
    • Compliance & Standards
