One day you might be analyzing a complex industrial facility, the next you’re designing structural systems for a university campus or government building.

In this role you’ll lead multidisciplinary projects, mentor developing engineers, and build relationships with clients who trust you with their most important structures. You will also contribute to business development through proposal writing and marketing efforts, helping grow the practice while growing your own career.

• Extensive experience working in a team environment and coordinating structural designs with multi‑discipline teams.
• Strong, effective verbal and written communication skills with project team members and clients.
