Duties and Responsibilities
The duties and responsibilities of a structural engineer involve a wide range of tasks related to the design, analysis, and evaluation of structures. Here is an overview of the key responsibilities:

Analyze architectural plans, understand the project's purpose and function, and verify appropriate structural systems and components. This involves verification of selection of suitable materials, calculated loads and forces, and verification of structural elements such as beams, columns, foundations, and slabs.
  • Structural Analysis: Perform detailed analyses to assess the behavior and response of structures under various loading conditions. Use computer software and mathematical models to simulate and predict the performance of structures, ensuring they can withstand anticipated loads, such as gravity, wind, seismic forces, and temperature changes. The analysis helps determine the internal forces and deformations within the structure, verifying the design process and ensuring its safety.

They may review construction documents, respond to contractor inquiries, and assist with resolving any structural-related issues that arise during construction. They may also visit the construction site to verify compliance with the design.
  • Structural Evaluation and Rehabilitation: Structural engineers are involved in evaluating the condition and safety of existing structures.
  • Documentation and Reporting: Structural engineer will review documentation such as design calculations, analysis reports, and other project-related documents.

About the program
Our organization has supported the U.S. Navy’s Strategic Systems Program (SSP) continually since the program’s inception in the 1950s.

For more than six decades, SSP has maintained and upgraded this weapon system and we have been there every step of the way. The sea-based SWS is the ultimate stealthy weapon system and as the first leg of the U.S. nuclear triad. With over 70% of our nation’s nuclear arsenal its importance to maintaining world peace cannot be overstated. The development of Columbia, the most advanced nuclear-powered, nuclear-armed submarine ever designed, as well the next D5LE2 weapon system is under way and will begin to be rolled out over the next decade. The Navy projects this system to be operational through 2084, meaning the program will have a total life span of more than 120 years.
