  • Take complete ownership of your portion of the structural scope, reliably working to meet schedule, budget, and quality requirements.
  • You may be given tasks with ill‑defined conditions of satisfaction; in which case you will be expected to take the initiative to determine what is needed to meet the project and client needs.
  • Clearly define your own scope and start to develop your ability to forecast level of effort needed to complete that scope.
  • Be ready to identify scope change and escalate it to your Structural Lead or Project Manager.
  • Recognize when help is needed, reaching out to peers and senior engineers for guidance.
  • Work in a timely, accurate, and cost‑effective manner with strong attention to detail.

  • Provide technical guidance, coaching, and/or mentorship to designers/drafters and less experienced engineers.
  • Be proactive in advancing workflows, systems, and tools within the structural discipline. Embrace emerging technologies.
• As a Lead Structural Engineer for an assigned project
  • Lead a team of Structural Engineers and Designers in the development of calculations, specifications, construction drawings, and the structural model.
  • Fully understand all structural scope, recognize how that scope is both generated and impacted by other disciplines, and identify scope change.
  • Develop and manage schedule, budget, and staffing forecasts for the structural scope.
  • Attend project meetings and take an active role to help team resolve concerns and solve problems across all disciplines.
  • May be asked to act as the stamping Engineer of Record.
  • Take ultimate responsibility for all aspects of the deliverables, including calculations and all construction documents.
  • Participate in and champion internal, cross‑discipline, and external project quality reviews.
