Overview

Our client, a respected structural engineering leader known for its technical rigor, creativity, and responsiveness, is seeking a driven Restoration Engineer/Project Manager to join their expanding Wisconsin team. This is an exciting chance to contribute to a group that thrives on solving complex structural challenges while delivering work that genuinely enhances the built environment. Backed by more than 30 years of industry success, this firm has evolved into a nationally trusted engineering partner with a portfolio spanning commercial, industrial, residential, and specialty structures. Their approach blends deep technical expertise with a personable, relationship-focused culture—a combination that has earned them long-term clients and repeat national work. From steel, concrete, and masonry design to advanced restoration and specialty analysis, the team is known for its creativity, precision, and ability to respond quickly without compromising quality.

Position Overview

As a Restoration Engineer/Project Manager, you\'ll play a pivotal role in leading projects that protect, restore, and extend the life of existing structures. You\'ll collaborate closely with senior technical leaders, oversee project execution, and mentor emerging restoration professionals. This position is ideal for someone who enjoys hands-on problem solving, thrives in a collaborative environment, and brings a strong understanding of how buildings actually behave in the real world. You\'ll be trusted with autonomy, supported with resources, and encouraged to bring forward innovative restoration solutions that meet performance, budget, and constructability needs.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and deliver restoration and existing-building projects from concept through completion.
• Provide technical mentorship and day-to-day guidance to restoration technicians and early-career engineers.
• Perform field investigations, structural assessments, and develop repair strategies across a wide variety of building materials and systems.
• Work collaboratively with architects, owners, contractors, and internal teams to ensure cohesive project delivery.
• Maintain high standards of technical excellence, documentation, and client communication.
• Support planning, scheduling, and project coordination efforts with the Restoration Department Manager.

Qualifications

• 6+ years of experience in restoration, existing building evaluations, or structural engineering.
• Strong working knowledge of building materials, framing systems, and construction practices.
• Engineering degree or PE licensure preferred, but not strictly required for the right candidate.
• Practical problem-solving abilities and strong engineering judgment.
• Excellent communication skills and comfort managing multiple technical priorities.
• A passion for buildings, investigating problems, and delivering practical, cost-effective solutions.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Impactful, hands-on work across commercial, industrial, medical, and parking structure sectors.
• A people-first culture where your ideas are welcomed and your professional voice matters.
• The chance to work with colleagues who stay at the forefront of restoration technology, materials science, and industry standards.
• Access to unique, challenging national projects while still enjoying the stability and balance of a Midwest-based team.
• A commitment to continuous learning, including active involvement in leading industry organizations.

Benefits & Perks

• Generous PTO and paid holidays
• Flexible scheduling and a strong emphasis on work-life balance
• Professional development support, including tuition reimbursement and licensing assistance
• Supportive leadership invested in your long-term career growth
