Job Description

Entry Level Engineer – Braddock, PA

Phillips Tank & Structure (PTS) is no ordinary tank construction company. We specialize in the complex and fast-paced environment of tank repair on a nationwide scale. No two tanks are alike, so when they need repair, they often pose unique or complicated technical issues. Our experienced engineering staff are well-versed in API 650, API 653, AWWA D100, AWWA D103, API 12D, and other tank specifications.

Statement of Purpose
To provide satisfying, long-term work opportunities for our dedicated employees - We believe that there is pride to be gained in performing productive work, and there should be great satisfaction in achieving results as a team. Our efforts will be spent towards continuously improving the health, strength, and quality of the company. We believe our collective success will generate value that supports our families and benefits our communities.

PTS is a growing, team-oriented company led by individuals with decades of experience in the field of construction, repair, and maintenance of field-welded, above-ground steel tanks. Our contracts include projects in petroleum, power, water, and renewable fuels markets. Based in Braddock, PA, PTS has active projects throughout the United States and internationally. PTS utilizes SolidWorks to produce designs and fabrication details for our steel structures. Our capabilities to automate the design and detailing of semi-custom unique structures are unmatched in the industry. We are currently looking for an entry-level Engineer that we may develop in our systems and approach.

The Phillips Tank and Structure difference:
  • Our people are our #1 priority.
  • Teamwork is the best way to solve problems.
  • Safety is critical. Everyone is responsible for creating a safe work environment.
  • We strive to find new and better ways of doing things every day.
  • Clear expectations and directions are always given.
  • Frequent coaching and support leads to great performers and high quality for our customers.
  • A manager's job is to set each employee up for success every day.
  • We don't punish people for mistakes - we work together to understand the root cause of a mistake and solve it together.
  • We strive to create an environment where you look forward to coming to work each day and leave work with a sense of pride and accomplishment.

Phillips Tank & Structure (PTS) is looking for an Entry Level Engineer for its Pennsylvania operations in the Cranberry and Braddock area office.

Duties Include:
  • Perform structural design calculations for steel structures using Mathcad & other tools developed by PTS.
  • Create fabrication drawings that can be used for multiple purposes to promote automation in both purchasing and fabrication of design assemblies. These drawing packages will also be used by field construction staff to erect or repair tanks and associated equipment.
  • Assist in the procurement of material and fabricated assemblies for delivery. Coordinate with suppliers to properly communicate the necessary requirements.
  • Use proper industry codes (API 650, API 620, AWWA D100, and others), customer specifications, and company standards in the generation of design drawing packages.
  • Visit project sites to measure existing conditions to support design duties. These visits may involve climbing ladders and carrying measuring instruments.
  • Perform other duties as assigned by Lead Designers and PTS Management.
  • Refine and develop custom-built SolidWorks design tables & other tools.
Applicant Requirements:
  • Excellent math skills in algebra, trigonometry, and geometry
  • Bachelor’s degree in civil, structural, or mechanical engineering.
  • 2+ years of experience or equivalent training using SolidWorks or other 3D drafting software is a plus.
  • Skilled in the use of MS Excel, Word, and other productivity software.
  • Use of Mathcad or other engineering calculation programs is a plus.
  • Self-motivated with strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
  • Strong communication skills, both orally and written.
  • Be authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship.


Salary commensurate with experience. PTS offers excellent benefits, including 401K, health coverage, paid vacation, and holidays. There is no relocation offered for this position. PTS is an EOE.

Please submit a resume with a cover letter detailing salary requirements.
