Job description

At Glotman Simpson, we've spent more than 60 years engineering some of North America's most impactful buildings. We believe exceptional engineering starts with exceptional people. People who are passionate about their craft, invested in their teammates, and driven to continually learn, grow, and improve.

We're looking for a Senior Structural Design Engineer to join our Los Angeles team. This is an opportunity to work alongside experienced engineers on a diverse range of projects while developing technical expertise, professional judgment, and leadership capabilities that will shape your career.

If you're curious, ambitious, and excited by the challenge of turning complex problems into practical solutions, we'd love to hear from you.

What You'll Do

• Use your creativity and expertise to develop structural solutions for world-class projects
• Manage projects and teams
• Manage financial aspects of projects
• Assist with internal QA/QC design and drawing reviews
• Develop and foster key client relationships
• Support marketing and business development efforts
• Train, mentor and develop younger engineers

The Los Angeles office offers the unique opportunity to work in an entrepreneurial environment while benefiting from the resources, expertise, and support of our larger organization in British Columbia. With a collaborative local team, this senior role will have meaningful exposure to all facets of the business - from design and project delivery to marketing, client relationships, and business development.

For the right person, this environment provides significant opportunity to broaden their impact, take on increasing responsibility, and help shape the continued growth of the Los Angeles office. It is an ideal fit for someone who values autonomy, variety, and the ability to make a visible contribution, rather than being one part of a much larger corporate structure.
