Work on Structures That Define Permanent

Since 1999 we have built Antarctic research stations, the 229 m record-span coal shed, Guangzhou Baiyun Airport T3's steel roof and the 748 m Xianyang covered bridge. We are looking for engineers and project professionals who want to design, fabricate and deliver structures like these — not just sell them.

Why Engineers Choose Permanent Steel Structure

🌎

Real International Projects

Projects across Africa, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, South America and Europe — genuinely difficult engineering: Antarctic polar construction at the Ross Sea, the 229 m record-span coal shed, and the 118,000 m² steel roof of Guangzhou Baiyun Airport T3.

📋

Full-Industry-Chain Exposure

In-house design, 200,000 t/year fabrication, coating, logistics and site erection — one company, every discipline. Young engineers rotate through design, shop and site rather than staying in one silo.

🎓

Engineering Depth & Growth

100+ patents across our design and fabrication processes. Certification paths in EN 1993, AISC 360, AWS D1.1 and ISO 3834 are supported and paid for by the company.

Open Positions

Base location: Xuzhou, Jiangsu, China (with international travel for project roles). We also consider exceptional remote candidates for design roles on a case-by-case basis.

International Business Engineer (Overseas Markets)

Full-time · Xuzhou + overseas travel · English working language

OPEN

You are the technical bridge between our engineering team and international clients — from first inquiry to drawing approval. You do not "sell" a product; you translate project requirements into a feasible, compliant steel structure offer.

Responsibilities

  • Review international RFQs and produce technical quotation packages
  • Coordinate with design team on load cases, codes and standards selection
  • Own client communication: clarifications, drawing approvals, milestones
  • Site visits and exhibition participation in target regions (3–6 trips/year)

Requirements

  • Bachelor's in civil/structural engineering or equivalent technical degree
  • Fluent English (spoken + written); a second language is a plus
  • 1–5 years in steel structure / construction export business
  • Readiness to handle multi-timezone communication professionally

Structural Design Engineer (Space Frame / Steel Structure)

Full-time · Xuzhou · Remote considered for senior level

OPEN

Design and verify space frames, pipe trusses, portal frames and bridges to international codes. This role carries real engineering responsibility: your calculation report is what an international EPC or regulatory body checks.

Responsibilities

  • 3D modelling and analysis (MST, 3D3S, Tekla, SAP2000 or equivalents)
  • Produce calculation reports to EN 1993, AISC 360 or GB 50017
  • Generate and check shop drawings with connection details
  • Support fabrication shop on geometry, camber and tolerances

Requirements

  • BEng/MEng in structural engineering; 2–8 years steel structure design
  • Working knowledge of at least one international code
  • Experience with large-span or grid structures is a strong plus
  • English reading ability for international specifications

International Project Manager

Full-time · Xuzhou + site duty rotations

OPEN

Own the delivery of international projects from contract signature to site handover: schedule, budget, quality gates and client communication across time zones.

Responsibilities

  • Build and run project schedules with fabrication and shipping milestones
  • Manage budget, change orders and milestone payments
  • Coordinate design, shop and QC to the approved drawings
  • Lead site erection coordination with local crews and supervisors

Requirements

  • 5+ years project management in steel structure / EPC environment
  • PMP or equivalent certification is a plus
  • English working proficiency; willing to travel internationally
  • Track record of delivering projects within schedule and budget

QA/QC Engineer (Welding & Coating Inspection)

Full-time · Xuzhou fabrication plant · occasional site visits

OPEN

You protect the record that international projects are judged on: weld quality, dimensional accuracy and coating compliance documented to the millimetre and the micron.

Responsibilities

  • Execute and document inspections per project ITP
  • Witness and record NDT (UT, MT, RT coordination)
  • Coating inspection to ISO 12944 (surface prep, DFT, adhesion)
  • Interface with third-party inspectors (SGS, BV, TÜV) and clients

Requirements

  • 3+ years QA/QC in steel fabrication; NDT Level II or equivalent
  • CSWIP/NDT/PCN or Chinese equivalent certification a plus
  • Familiar with AWS D1.1, ISO 3834, ISO 1461, ISO 12944
  • English reading ability for international specs
