Job description

Caesar Engineering is a lean civil and structural firm serving municipal agencies, private developers, and institutional clients from the Greater NYC area to the Capital Region. We're bringing on a licensed P.E. to own a real book of structural and engineering consulting work — stamped drawings, master planning engagements, field observations, and technical leadership — from day one. This isn't a support role. You'll hold the pen on your projects and have direct access to both principals.

Our work spans two modes: production and advisory. On the production side, you're designing and stamping plans and projects. On the advisory side, you're helping government and private clients think through building programs, strategy, feasibility, climate resilience, and long-range capital planning. Both tracks matter equally here, and the best candidates will be comfortable moving between them.

Our design work happens remotely. Our fieldwork happens in person. Most weeks that means one or two days in the corridor between New York City and Albany — site visits, structural observations, construction-phase coordination. The rest of your time is yours to manage from wherever you work best.

Structural design & production

• Prepare, stamp, and seal structural drawing sets and calculations under NYS regulations and applicable building codes (IBC, ASCE 7, ACI, AISC, NDS)

• Review and respond to RFIs, shop drawings, and submittals during construction

Consulting & master planning

• Contribute to master planning engagements that include building programming, design concept development, and phased implementation strategies for government and institutional clients
• Author technical sections of planning reports, feasibility memos, and client-facing deliverables that translate engineering findings into actionable guidance for non-technical decision-makers
• Support RFP scope development and cost estimating in coordination with project leads for both public procurement and private engagement

Project Ownership & Delivery

• Own the full lifecycle of assigned projects—managing schedules, budgets, and technical deliverables while serving as the primary point of contact for clients and principals.
