Mr. Jobe is a Principal Structural Engineer of Miller Consulting Engineers, Inc. and has been involved with the design of a variety of structures since 1996. Lane is experienced with a wide variety of materials including wood, masonry, concrete, steel, light-gage steel and aluminum. Lane has been involved with a variety of projects including the design of steel moment frames in industrial buildings, historic building retrofits, seismic roof upgrades for metro-area school structures, structural evaluation of existing structures, and investigations that require existing building analysis and retrofits through recognized standards such as FEMA 178 and ASCE-31.  Lane has also been involved with establishing guidelines for the special inspection requirements used throughout the State of Oregon through SEAO and has been involved with The Masonry Society performing structural engineering trial designs with other engineers in the industry; with the goal to help improve existing building codes and standards.  Most recently, Lane has been involved in assisting with a trial design for the proposed Direct Design Handbook for Masonry Structures, masonry building design standard which is a document to soon be used throughout the building industry to help designers design masonry buildings on a more prescriptive basis.
