Structural Design Technician
At Jacobs, we're challenging today to reinvent tomorrow by solving the world's most critical problems for thriving cities, resilient environments, mission-critical outcomes, operational advancement, scientific discovery and cutting-edge manufacturing, turning abstract ideas into realities that transform the world for good.
Your impact
We are looking for a Structural Design Technician to join our Project Delivery team supporting advanced facilities projects. In this role, you'll play a critical part in turning engineering concepts into high-quality structural models and construction documents using 2D and 3D (Revit/BIM) tools.
This is more than a drafting role—you'll be an active contributor to the design process, collaborating closely with Structural Engineers, multi-disciplinary teams, and construction partners. If you enjoy ownership of your work, problem-solving, and continuous improvement, this role offers strong opportunities for growth.
Key Responsibilities:
- Develop structural models and construction deliverables using Revit and AutoCAD, with a focus on steel and concrete structures
- Create structural models from scratch based on sketches, redlines, and verbal direction from engineers
- Coordinate structural designs with other disciplines using clash detection tools
- Incorporate and manage electronic redlines following established workflows
- Take full ownership of your assigned structural scope, ensuring alignment with schedule, budget, and quality standards
- Perform self-checks and coordinate design packages to minimize conflicts
- Provide support and informal mentoring to junior designers when needed
- Participate in quality reviews to ensure compliance with project and structural standards
- Actively contribute to improving workflows, tools, and design automation initiatives
