Responsibilities

  • Develop complete structural steel permit sets for conveyor support systems, including header steel and connection details.
  • Oversee and perform comprehensive loading calculations for material handling equipment.
  • Create calculation templates and design guidelines for use across multiple projects.
  • Collaborate with vendors and contractors to integrate structural requirements with equipment specifications.
