It is expected that you are developing a solid foundation in the fundamentals of Structural Engineering, are gaining experience in multiple subject areas, and are learning how Structural design integrates with and impacts other disciplines. You will be given as much responsibility as you are willing to take, and your opportunities for career growth will be limited only by your own motivation, capabilities, and attitude.

• Exhibit a high level of attention to detail and quality control.
• Commit to checking your own work and seeking guidance from peers and seniors when needed.
• Perform calculation checking of other engineers' work.
• Take responsibility for managing workload, meet commitments, and take full ownership of assigned work.
• Own your portion of the structural scope, meet schedule, budget, and quality requirements; identify ill-defined conditions and determine what is needed to meet project and client needs.
• Define your scope and forecast level of effort; identify scope change and escalate to the Structural Lead or Project Manager as needed.
• Recognize when help is needed and seek guidance from peers and senior engineers.
• Work in a timely, accurate, and cost-effective manner with strong attention to detail.

Working Conditions and Physical Requirements

• Able to perform field walks. This may include climbing ladders, crawling under raised access floors, or walking/standing for extended periods.
• This position is considered hybrid/remote and may require you to work in the nearest local office or from home in the USA Southeast Region (AL, AR, DE, FL, GA, KS, KY, LA, MD, MO, MS, NC, OK, SC, TN, TX, VA).
• You may be asked to support work for/in other offices (possibly including Temporary Duty Assignments).

• Engineer in Training (EIT) Certification.
• Minimum of 2 years of experience in structural engineering.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Strong interpersonal skills.
