Join a company that is passionately committed to the pursuit of a better world through positive change. With more than 70 years of business and technical expertise in mining , energy , and infrastructure ,our 10,000 colleagues in 150 countries tirelessly work toward bettering the industries in which we operate. With practical solutions that are safe, cutting-edge and sustainable, we think globally while acting locally.Are you looking for an opportunity to join a diverse group of professionals who are committed to remaining exceptional? We look forward to hearing from you.

Our Technologies team commercializes and delivers technologies across all three of Hatch's sectors: Metals, Energy, Infrastructure. We're a team of innovators and problem solvers who deliver custom and specialized engineering to deliver novel solutions and technologies.

The Role

The Structural Engineer will be part of the Structures & Process Equipment team within the Technologies Business Practice. The role is primarily focused on technical project execution, as well as client engagement, proposal development, and business-development activities.

The successful candidate will perform structural engineering for heavy industrial structures and process equipment, including fitness-for-service and condition assessment of existing assets; design of novel structures, equipment, and engineered systems; and stress, thermal, and coupled thermo-mechanical assessment. Work may address complex phenomena including dynamic loading, vibration, seismic effects, fatigue, fracture, creep, crack propagation, and others using first-principles methods,



finite element analysis (FEA), and other engineering tools.

The Structural Engineer will prepare calculations, technical reports, specifications, and design drawings; collaborate with multidisciplinary project teams; and communicate technical findings clearly to clients and colleagues. The role will report to a Practice Area Lead or Project Manager, depending on project size and organization.

As the successful candidate, you will:

- Plan, execute, and deliver structural engineering work for heavy industrial projects, meeting scope, quality, budget, and schedule objectives.
- Assess existing industrial structures and process equipment to determine condition, fitness-for-service, remaining life, repair requirements, and opportunities for continued or modified operation.
- Develop practical designs for new, modified, or novel structures and equipment where established design workflows may not be available.
- Perform first-principles calculations and numerical assessments, including linear and nonlinear stress and heat-transfer analysis in coupled thermo-mechanical assessment using finite element modelling.
- Evaluate structural response to static, thermal, dynamic, vibration, seismic, fatigue, creep, crack-propagation, and other relevant loading or degradation mechanisms.
- Prepare and review engineering calculations, design drawings,



technical specifications, data sheets, scopes of work, technical memoranda, and reports.
- Apply safety, integrity, constructability, operability, and maintainability principles throughout engineering work.
- Apply relevant codes, standards, quality requirements, and internal procedures to engineering activities, including novel applications that require sound engineering judgment.
- Collaborate with other engineering disciplines, procurements personnel, project managers, and other specialists across offices and regions to deliver high-quality engineering work.
- Participate in design reviews, field investigations, site inspections, and technical discussions with clients and other stakeholders.
- Communicate analysis methods, assumptions, findings, risks, and recommendations clearly to technical and non-technical audiences.
- Manage assigned tasks and small work packages with limited supervision, including coordination of inputs, monitoring of progress against budget and schedule, and managing small teams.
- Support client engagement, proposal preparation, scope definition, cost estimation, and project pursuits, while building trusted working relationships.
- Contribute to the development of Hatch technologies, specialized methodologies, engineering tools, and reusable technical knowledge.
- Provide guidance, mentorship, and technical support to designers and less-experienced engineers, as appropriate to the assignment.
- Stamp documents and drawings when required and when appropriately licensed and responsible for the work.

You bring to the role:

- A recognized bachelor’s degree in civil or structural engineering from an accredited unive
