• Develop complete construction documents, including drawings, specifications, and calculations
• Provide pre-design services including data gathering, conceptual design, planning, and structural system selection
• Coordinate structural work with architects and other design disciplines
• Work directly with clients and help determine practical solutions
• Manage smaller project teams and take increasing ownership of projects

• Provide construction-phase support, including RFIs, submittals, shop drawings, site observations, and reports
• Perform structural investigations, failure evaluations, and condition assessments
• Lead or assist with on-site data collection and analytical efforts
• Develop analytical models and written reports based on investigation findings
• Perform peer reviews of structural engineering documents
• Mentor developing engineers and serve as a technical resource

Who We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who is technically strong, adaptable, and interested in taking on broader responsibility.

Requirements:

• 3+ years of structural engineering experience
• Strong experience with structural materials, calculations, and design
• Experience with vertical building structures
• Comfortable performing both design and investigative work

Why This Opportunity?

This is an opportunity to have a meaningful voice in projects and work directly with experienced leadership and clients.

If you're a Senior Engineer who feels ready to move beyond simply completing assigned design work, you'll have the opportunity to expand into:

• Client management
• Project coordination
• Team leadership
• Proposal and budget development
• Quality control
• Project management

Culture

We value engineers who are curious, accountable, collaborative, adaptable, and willing to roll up their sleeves.

This is an environment where initiative is noticed and good ideas are heard. Team members are encouraged to take ownership, solve problems, support one another, and step outside of their traditional responsibilities when the project requires it.

If you enjoy variety, want to continue developing technically, and are interested in becoming a future project leader, this is an opportunity to make a significant impact.
