Job description

We’re working with a growing structural engineering firm in New Jersey that focuses exclusively on structural design. This isn’t a large corporate environment — it’s a tight-knit team where every engineer plays a visible role in project delivery.

They’re looking to add a Structural Engineer with 3–6 years of experience who wants to step beyond pure production work and take on real responsibility across projects.

If you’re looking for faster progression, direct access to decision-makers, and the chance to make an impact early — this is the kind of environment that offers it.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Join a growing structural engineering firm focused exclusively on structural design
• Gain exposure to projects from concept design through construction administration
• Work directly with experienced engineers and decision-makers in a collaborative environment
• Take on meaningful responsibility early in your career rather than being limited to production work
• Develop technical expertise across steel, concrete, masonry, and wood structures
• Clear progression path toward Project Engineer and future project leadership responsibilities
• Smaller team environment where your contributions are highly visible and valued

What You'll Be Doing

• Perform structural analysis and design for a variety of building projects
• Design structural systems utilizing steel, concrete, masonry, and wood
• Prepare structural calculations, reports, and supporting engineering documentation
• Assist with the development of construction drawings and design packages
• Coordinate directly with architects, owners, contractors, and external consultants
• Participate in site visits, field investigations, and construction-phase support activities
• Collaborate with senior engineers on design solutions and technical problem-solving
• Take increasing ownership of project deliverables and client interactions as you develop

What You'll Bring

• Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering or Structural Engineering
• 3–6 years of structural engineering experience focused on building design
• Progress toward Professional Engineer (PE) licensure or recently obtained PE license
• Strong understanding of IBC, ASCE 7, ACI, and AISC design standards
• Experience using structural analysis and design software such as RAM, ETABS, SAP2000, or similar platforms
• Knowledge of structural systems including steel, concrete, masonry, and wood construction
• Strong communication and coordination skills
• Self-motivated approach with the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment

What's In It For You

• Competitive salary based on experience
• Hybrid working flexibility
• Direct mentorship from experienced structural engineers
• Exposure to the full project lifecycle
• Increased responsibility and project ownership
• Professional development and PE licensure support
• Long-term career progression within a growing structural engineering practice
