Job description

Lead complex building projects front to back

Own the structure. Shape the skyline.

You’re not looking to just “stamp” drawings. You want to lead structural projects end-to-end – from first walk-through to final report.

In this Senior Structural Engineer role, you’ll drive designs for new construction, tackle forensic investigations, and lead repairs and renovations of existing buildings across a wide range of materials and systems.

You’ll be the one assessing existing conditions in the field, setting realistic budgets, writing detailed proposals and reports, and steering the full design effort for the projects you own.

If you’re a PE with deep building experience in steel, concrete, masonry, and timber, we want to talk to you.

What You'll Work On

You’ll be the go-to structural lead on challenging building projects and investigations, including:

• Forensic engineering investigations and reporting
• Repair and renovation of existing structures
• Structural systems in steel, concrete, masonry, and timber
• Projects requiring deep knowledge of building code requirements
• Project budgets, scopes, and schedules for structural work
• Technical proposals and detailed engineering reports
• Structural aspects of site and stormwater-related designs (where applicable)

You’ll leverage standard engineering software and your code knowledge to bring clarity and confidence to complex building problems.

This is where technical depth meets real-world impact on the built environment.

What You'll Be Doing

• Leading structural design efforts for new construction projects
• Planning and performing forensic engineering investigations of existing structures
• Assessing existing field conditions and translating findings into practical solutions
• Developing repair and renovation strategies for buildings in steel, concrete, masonry, and timber
• Applying building code requirements to ensure safe, compliant designs
• Reviewing complete project documents for conformity and quality assurance
• Writing detailed technical proposals, engineering reports, and project documentation
• Establishing and managing project budgets, scopes, and schedules
• Supervising and mentoring staff necessary to complete project assignments
• Serving as a technical specialist or advisor to upper-level management and staff
• Developing new or improved techniques, processes, materials, or products
• Representing the organization in communications and conferences on broad engineering issues

What We're Looking For

• Senior-level Structural Engineer with 8+ years of building-related experience
• Professional Engineer (PE) license
• Strong background with steel, concrete, masonry, and timber construction
• Solid working knowledge of building code requirements
• Experience using standard engineering software
• Proven ability to lead projects with complex features and moderate to major scope
• Demonstrated experience preparing technical proposals and detailed reports
• Advanced written and oral communication skills
• Experience supervising engineering staff on project work

The Experience That Will Really Get Our Attention

You’re the engineer people call when a structure has a problem or a project gets complicated. You can walk a building, see the load paths, understand the failure modes, and explain it all clearly to both engineers and non-engineers.

You’re comfortable in the weeds on calculations and software, but you’re just as strong in front of a client, defending your work and laying out options with confidence.

You’ve led teams, owned deliverables, and you take pride in documents that are technically sharp and easy to follow.

Why This Opportunity?

This is a chance to step into a true senior role where your judgment matters and your signature carries weight. You’ll work directly with the Principal in charge of the Structural Department and be trusted to run with significant assignments.
