• Participate in QA/QC by performing self‑checks and peer reviews; incorporate redlines and lessons learned to elevate deliverables.
• Engage during construction—review submittals/RFIs, conduct site observations, and document field findings that inform design improvements.
• Mentor junior engineers and technicians through task guidance, model setup, and standards adoption.
• Contribute to proposals (scope notes, resumes, past performance) and occasional client meetings to support team growth.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in civil/structural engineering or related field.
