At TKDA, a 100% employee-owned engineering firm, you'll actually own a piece of every structure you help design. We're looking for an experienced Structural Designer who loves variety-from educational facilities to mining structures, government buildings to industrial complexes. You'll work out of our new Bloomington, Minnesota office, collaborating with our multidisciplinary team of engineers and architects while working primarily in Revit (with some AutoCAD). One day you might be modeling structural systems for a university project, the next you're preparing construction documents for an industrial facility or coordinating clash detection for a government building. As part of our Facilities Engineering Structural team, you'll be involved in the full project lifecycle-from creating base files to finalizing construction documents, handling redline drafting, and even occasional field verifications. It's hands-on design work with the variety and technical challenges that keep things interesting. Ready to join a team where your design expertise directly impacts your ownership? Let's build something great together. Hybrid Work Environment: Tuesday - Thursday In-Office \| Monday & Friday WFH Required Qualifications Associate degree in Architectural Technology, Engineering Technology, or related field of study. Three or more years of progressive structural drafting and modeling experience. Proficiency with AutoCAD and Revit to produce construction documents, graphic presentations, and 3D renderings. Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications (Excel, Word, and Outlook). Strong working knowledge of building systems, construction methods / practices, the preparation and assembly of construction documentation, and interpretation of construction plans. Ability to read and interpret architectural, mechanical, and electrical plans and models to assist with project coordination. Strong interpersonal skills and ability to apply effective verbal and written communication skills when participating in project team discussions. Ability to travel as needed to conduct site assessments / field verifications and perform construction observation tasks; Occasional overnight travel up to 15% may be required. Advantageous Qualifications Familiarity with Bluebeam Revu software. Previous experience conducting building surveys and field verifications. Previous experience working within a professional service or consulting environment. Previous experience drafting and modeling structures within the education, government, or industrial sectors. The listed salary range reflects base pay for candidates with 3-10 years of related experience. Compensation may vary based on experience, qualifications, and responsibilities. Individuals with more years of experience are encouraged to apply. Upon acceptance of a conditional offer of employment, the selected candidate will be required to complete a standard pre-employment background screening, which consists of Social Security verification, educational verification, review of criminal convictions, and driving history. Join Our 100% Employee-Owned Firm At our company, every employee is an owner.
