• Interact directly with architects, owners, contractors, plan reviewers, and other engineering disciplines to develop effective project solutions.


• Train and mentor junior staff.

You will provide structural engineering services across all phases of commercial projects, including design, permitting, bidding, and construction administration. You may also assist with proposals for new projects.

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate will have strong experience in wood-frame buildings and concrete foundations. Experience with steel, concrete, masonry, and/or light-gauge steel construction is also beneficial.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the development of construction drawings and oversee internal project teams.


• Perform structural analysis and calculations for building projects.


• Support the full project lifecycle, including design, permitting, bidding, and construction administration.


• Coordinate with multidisciplinary teams and communicate effectively with clients, contractors, and consultants.


• Help maintain quality standards, project schedules, and budgets.
