Engineer Complex Construction Projects. Build Something That Matters.

Superior Rigging & Erecting is seeking an experienced Structural Engineer (PE) to support complex crane, heavy lifts, structural steel, temporary works, heavy transportation, and specialty construction projects throughout the Southeast.

This is not a traditional consulting or design-only role. You will work directly with Operations, Project Management, Safety, and Executive Leadership to develop engineered solutions that are successfully executed in the field. As our Engineering & Technical Services function continues to grow, you will have the opportunity to influence engineering standards, mentor future talent, and help shape the future of the department.

What You Will Do

• Develop engineered lift plans, structural calculations, and technical engineering solutions.
• Perform structural analysis for temporary works, lifting systems, crane support systems, and complex loading conditions.
• Evaluate crane configurations, ground bearing pressures, construction sequencing, and means and methods.
• Conduct project site visits to assess constructability, access, and engineering risks.
• Support critical lifts, structural steel erection, machinery installations, and specialty construction activities.
• Serve as Engineer of Record for engineered lifting and structural support activities when required.
• Partner with Operations, Project Management, Estimating, and Safety to develop practical engineering solutions.
• Establish engineering standards, calculation procedures, and technical best practices.
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to the continued growth of the Engineering & Technical Services function.

• Bachelor’s degree in civil engineering, Structural Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
• Active Professional Engineer (PE) license.
• Georgia PE license or ability to obtain through reciprocity.
• Experience supporting structural, industrial, construction, manufacturing, infrastructure, or engineering consulting projects.
• Strong structural analysis, engineering judgment, and problem-solving skills.
• Experience reviewing construction documents and collaborating with field operations.
• Working knowledge of AutoCAD, Revit, RAM, RISA, TEDDS, Bluebeam, or similar engineering software.
• Ability to work in both office and active construction environments.
• Ability to travel periodically throughout the Southeast.

Experience in crane and rigging engineering is preferred but not required. We welcome experienced structural engineers looking to apply their expertise in a unique construction environment.

Why Join Superior Rigging & Erecting?

• Help build a growing Engineering & Technical Services function.
• Work directly with executive leadership and operational decision-makers.
• Solve technically challenging projects that require practical engineering judgment.
• See your engineering solutions implemented in the field.
• Work on complex projects involving heavy lift, structural steel, industrial facilities, and specialty construction.
• Competitive compensation based on experience, technical expertise, and professional licensure.
• Comprehensive benefits including Medical, Dental, Vision, 401(k), Paid Time Off, and Paid Holidays.
