Engineering Geology Jobs in All Cities, MO

Join the Benning Lab and explore the dynamic world of bioenergetic membranes

Our Mission: The Benning Lab investigates how evolutionary pressure shaped bioenergetic membranes to enable bacteria to thrive in diverse environments. Central to our focus is understanding the molecular mechanisms of how these membranes form distinct shapes. We do this by reconstituting proteins in a near-native membrane environment and characterizing them using structural and biophysical analyses. We also directly image bioenergetic membranes in diverse bacteria to uncover their assembly dynamics. By deciphering this evolutionary ancient system, we aim to unravel new biologies, and apply principles derived from natural membranes to build useful nano-factories for medicine, biotechnology, and bioremediation.

Build Meaningful Projects with a Team That Truly Invests in You

This is an opportunity to join a growing, employee-owned design firm where collaboration is real, leadership is accessible, and career growth is intentional—not promised vaguely and forgotten later. The firm is known for taking on complex, high-impact projects nationwide, investing heavily in technology, and fostering a culture where people genuinely enjoy working together.

If you’re a Civil Engineer who enjoys seeing projects through from concept to construction—and wants to be part of a team that values both technical excellence and human connection—this role is worth a closer look.

The Role

The Civil Engineer is responsible for site analysis, planning, and design for commercial, institutional, and retail developments. This role is hands-on and highly collaborative, involving work across multiple offices and projects throughout the country.

• Prepare detailed engineering calculations and construction documents
• Assign and coordinate work with technicians and administrative staff
• Support project management tasks including scheduling, consultant coordination, and client communication
• Participate in construction administration, contractor meetings, field inspections, and drawing reviews

What Makes This Company Stand Out

• Employee-Owned Culture: Every team member has a stake in the firm’s success—voices are heard, and politics take a back seat to collaboration
• Leadership That Listens: Senior leadership actively seeks employee feedback and stays connected at a personal level
• Exceptional Growth Opportunities: Expanding teams, a diverse national project portfolio, and clear paths for advancement
• Industry Recognition: A global leader in highly specialized and design-forward projects, including internationally recognized work
• Technology-Forward: Significant investment in modern tools and systems to support innovation and efficiency
• Flexible Work Environment: Strong remote flexibility that supports work-life balance
• Competitive Compensation: Market-aligned pay with long-term growth potential

• Address fabrication issues in real time, troubleshoot problems, and implement corrective actions to prevent rework or delays.
• Champion a strong safety culture by enforcing OSHA standards, conducting training, and maintaining a clean, organized shop environment.
• Lead, mentor, and hold accountable supervisors, welders, fabricators, and machine operators.
• Manage materials, including steel and other metals, ensuring availability aligns with project timelines.
• Oversee equipment usage and maintenance to keep the shop running efficiently with minimal downtime.
• Drive continuous improvement across fabrication processes, including the use of new tools, equipment, and technologies.
• Improve coordination between office and shop by strengthening processes around drawing revisions, change orders, and production communication.
• Track key metrics such as productivity, scrap, and on-time delivery, using data to guide decisions.

What We’re Looking For

• 5–10+ years of experience in manufacturing, with a strong emphasis on custom fabrication tied to commercial construction projects.
• At least 3 years of experience leading teams in a production or fabrication environment.
• Proven ability to read and work from detailed shop drawings and blueprints, including GD&T.
• Strong understanding of fabrication processes such as cutting, welding, forming, and assembly.
• Experience managing project-based production where schedules and sequencing matter.
• Solid leadership skills with the ability to drive accountability and performance on the shop floor.
• Familiarity with Lean manufacturing or process improvement practices.
• Bachelor’s degree in engineering or a related field is preferred, but not required with relevant experience.

Nice to Have

• Background in structural or architectural metal fabrication for commercial builds.
• Experience with ERP/MRP systems.
• Certifications such as Six Sigma or PMP.

Why This Role

This is an opportunity to take ownership of a fabrication operation that directly supports high-impact commercial construction projects. You’ll be working on custom, non-repetitive work where problem-solving, craftsmanship, and execution matter. If you thrive in a fast-paced shop environment and take pride in delivering work that shows up on real job sites, this role offers both challenge and impact.
