• A chance to directly shape the voice and vision of one of the industry’s fastest-growing firms.

About the Role

As a Senior Structural Engineer, you’ll lead the structural effort across projects and guide their technical direction. Building on the project-engineer role, you’ll set the design approach, resolve complex technical issues, coordinate project design teams, and partner with project managers, clients, and construction teams from early design through construction.

Responsibilities

• Lead structural analysis and design for foundations (driven piles, screw and helical piles, and cast-in-place concrete), overhead steel structures, building envelopes, and non-building structures across multiple projects, setting the technical approach.
• Set and review code and standard approaches — ASCE 7, IBC, NESC, ASCE 113, IEEE 693, and NFPA — for project teams.
• Ensure adherence to applicable Client, EPC, Owner, and Utility standards across project deliverables.
• Lead coordination of specifications and contract requirements with project managers and client representatives from early design through construction, resolving constructability with construction teams.
• Coordinate project design teams and guide the technical direction of projects, making key design decisions and resolving complex technical issues.
• Coordinate with designers and the civil design team on drawings, details, and foundation bills of material (BOMs) across large project areas.
• Use engineering software (Excel, RISA, LPILE, and Trimble products; VBA and Python for design automation) to deliver and document designs.
• Mentor engineers and designers, set quality expectations, and review work across projects.
• Support business development, proposals, and client relationships as a senior technical lead.

Qualifications

• A bachelor’s degree in structural or civil engineering from an ABET-accredited program; a master’s degree is preferred.
• 8+ years of structural engineering experience. Professional Engineer (PE) required; SE a plus.
• Expert command of structural analysis and design and the applicable codes and standards.
• Experience guiding technical direction and coordinating project design teams, clients, and construction partners.
• Proficiency with structural and foundation software (RISA, LPILE), Trimble products, Excel, and design automation (VBA/Python).
• Strong leadership and the ability to guide technical direction across projects.
