Job description

Are you an experienced structural engineer looking for more ownership, closer client interaction, and the chance to grow with a firm that values your voice?

We’re partnered with a small but fast-growing structural engineering practice in NYC that’s built a strong reputation for high-quality, design-forward work. As they continue to expand, they’re looking for a Senior Structural Engineer who can take the lead on projects, mentor junior staff, and become a key part of the firm’s long-term vision.

️ What You’ll Be Doing:

• Leading structural design for a range of building projects including high-end residential, commercial, and institutional work

• Managing projects from concept through construction—interfacing directly with architects, contractors, and owners

• Overseeing junior engineers and reviewing design documentation

• Contributing to business development efforts and helping to shape internal processes as the firm grows

What They're Looking For:

• 8+ years of structural engineering experience in building design (NYC project experience preferred)

• PE license required; SE license or interest in pursuing one is a bonus

• Strong technical skills and fluency in structural software (e.g., RAM, ETABS, Revit)

• Someone who enjoys both the design and client-facing sides of engineering

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Work closely with the principal and play a real role in the future of the firm

• No red tape—just meaningful, hands-on engineering in a collaborative setting

• Support to take on more business development, project leadership, and even partnership down the line

• A role where your experience is respected, and your ideas can directly shape projects and process

If you’re a seasoned engineer looking to step into a leadership track within a close-knit, high-quality team, we’d love to connect and tell you more.
