Responsibilities
- Support structural due diligence for greenfield and conversion sites: foundation conditions, existing structure assessments, and geotechnical constraints
- Review geotechnical reports and assist in assigning structural design actions based on soil bearing capacities, settlement risk, and seismic classifications
- Assist in identifying structural cost risks during site selection, including retrofit complexity for conversion facilities
- Evaluate site suitability for large-scale structural systems, heavy equipment loads, and critical infrastructure requirements
- Apply and enforce structural basis of design, master specifications, and standard details for Fluidstack's campus portfolio
- Support coordination with external structural consultants from schematic through IFC; review deliverables and flag quality issues against established standards
- Apply knowledge of ACI, AISC, ASCE 7, and other industry-relevant design codes and standards across all project phases
- Assist in developing foundation strategies, structural systems selection, and phased delivery sequencing for large-scale campus developments
- Coordinate structural scope with civil, MEP, and architectural design teams, supporting alignment on load paths, equipment pads, rooftop mechanical supports, and utility penetrations
- Contribute to structural systems design including steel framing, concrete foundations, tilt-up construction, and pre-engineered metal buildings
- Support structural permitting across jurisdictions: building permits, special inspections, and structural observation requirements
- Assist in coordinating with local building departments, peer reviewers, and third-party inspectors
- Track permit schedules as part of the overall project critical path
- Flag regulatory risk including seismic design categories, wind exposure, snow loading, and jurisdictional code amendments
- Review contractor submittals, RFIs, and field conditions for structural scope
- Conduct periodic site visits and document structural construction quality and code compliance
- Support management of design changes and change order scope for structural work
- Assist with structural closeout, as-builts, and acceptance coordination with local authorities and special inspection agencies
