Staff Structural Engineer
GTI FabricationGTI is a contract manufacturing partner supporting customers in renewable energy, power generation, infrastructure, and industrial systems. We fabricate custom designed, purpose-built enclosures and skids for our customers and perform mechanical and electrical integration in-house, delivering a true turn-key product to our customers. Our scope spans Engineering, prototype builds, through full production, requiring teams that can move fast, adapt, and execute with precision. GTI Values: Safety I Quality I Customer Obsession I Speed I Agility Position Overview GTI Energy is seeking a Staff Structural Engineer to serve as a senior technical authority across multiple concurrent programs. This role operates beyond project execution, owning structural design methodology, standardization, and system-level performance across product lines including BESS, modular data centers, and GenSet platforms. The Staff Structural Engineer provides technical leadership, mentors engineering teams, and drives consistency, quality, and manufacturability across all structural deliverables. This role partners closely with Engineering Leadership and the Technical Director to solve complex challenges, improve design systems, and scale engineering practices across the organization. Key Responsibilities System-Level Structural Ownership Define and own the structural design approach across multiple programs and product lines Establish standard methodologies for analysis, load cases, and structural modeling Ensure consistency in structural design across BESS, modular data centers, and GenSet platforms Operate as design lead and technical authority across concurrent engineering programs Design Standardization & Framework Development Develop, maintain, and improve structural design standards, connection libraries, and calculation templates Standardize weld details, bolted connections, and structural systems for repeatability and scalability Drive reuse of proven design solutions across programs Improve structural design standards, analysis templates, and calculation methodologies used by the engineering team Advanced Technical Problem Solving Lead resolution of complex, ambiguous structural challenges impacting multiple projects Make engineering judgments on non-standard or undefined design conditions Provide technical direction on advanced structural analysis and design scenarios Support root cause analysis for structural failures and implement long-term corrective actions Design for Manufacturing (DFM) Leadership Drive structural designs that optimize fabrication, assembly, and system integration Reduce manufacturing variation through standardized and production-aligned design practices Partner with Mechanical, Electrical, and Manufacturing Engineering to improve build efficiency, cost, and throughput Support continuous improvement of DFM practices across structural deliverables Cross-Program & Cross-Functional Leadership Influence engineering direction across multiple teams and programs Serve as the bridge between engineering leadership and individual contributors Manage structural design interfaces with mechanical and electrical disciplines to ensure coordinated and manufacturable solutions Partner with Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, and Supply Chain to align structural decisions with business objectives Support new product introduction (NPI) with scalable and repeatable structural solutions Technical Governance & Quality Enforce structural engineering standards and best practices across the organization Review and approve critical calculations and designs across multiple teams Perform code reviews for structural compliance Ensure compliance with AISC, ASCE, IBC, and internal engineering standards Review and QC drawings and calculation packages prior to release, ensuring completeness, accuracy, and compliance Performance & Optimization Initiatives Lead initiatives to optimize structural designs for cost, weight, and material efficiency across product…
