Job description

Take your designs from concept to construction!

Are you a Structural Engineer who wants to do more than sit behind a desk and produce calculations?

Join our design-build team and be involved throughout the entire process - from initial concept and structural design through construction and completion. You'll work directly with architects, project managers, field teams, contractors, and clients to develop practical, cost-effective structural solutions and see your designs come to life.

The Design-Build Structural Engineer will be responsible for the design, analysis, and structural integrity of new and existing construction projects. This position combines office-based engineering and design with hands-on involvement in the field, including site visits, inspections, troubleshooting, and working directly with our construction team.

You’ll be involved in the build

You’ll have the opportunity to influence how projects are designed, how they are constructed, and how problems are solved in the field. If you enjoy both engineering and construction and want to see your work move from calculations and drawings to a finished building, this is the right opportunity for you!

Key responsibilities

• Conduct structural analysis, including calculating loads, pressures, and stresses on foundations, beams, columns, and walls.
• Prepare detailed structural designs, drawings, and specifications using computer-aided design (CAD) software, such as AutoCAD and Revit.
• Select appropriate construction materials, such as steel, concrete, wood, and masonry, based on project specifications and structural requirements.
• Collaborate with architects, designers and other engineering disciplines to develop integrated and buildable designs.
• Provide technical guidance during all phases of construction, from conception to completion.
• Review shop drawings and provide feedback to colleagues.
• Oversee and inspect the work of contractors and sub-contractors on-site to ensure adherence to design specifications.
• Ensure all designs and construction practices comply with local, state, and federal building codes, regulations, and safety standards.
• Advise on repair options, demolition plans, and modifications for existing structures.
• Manage project budgets and timelines related to the structural scope of work.
• Investigate and diagnose structural issues or failures, and provide solutions for repairs or modifications.
• Inspecting buildings to assess their structural integrity

Qualifications and skills Required

• Bachelor's degree in Civil or Structural Engineering
• 5 years of proven experience as a Structural Engineer, preferably within a construction or engineering firm. (Commercial construction environment is a plus)
• Proficiency in structural analysis and design software (e.g., AutoCAD, Revit).
• In-depth knowledge of building codes, standards, and construction methods.
• Deep knowledge of construction materials and methodologies.
• Strong analytical, mathematical, and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a multi-disciplinary team.
• Professional Engineer (PE) or Structural Engineer (SE) license is a plus but not required.
