Licensed Forensic/Structural Engineer or Architect

Investigate Failures. Solve Complex Problems. Restore the Built Environment.

A growing forensic engineering and architecture consulting firm is seeking a Licensed Professional Engineer (PE) or Registered Architect (RA) to join its team. This is an excellent opportunity for a licensed professional with approximately 5–10 years of experience who enjoys investigative work, technical problem-solving, and working on complex projects involving existing structures.

Our team specializes in forensic investigations, structural evaluations, construction defect analysis, and repair design for commercial and residential buildings. Every project presents a unique challenge, making this an ideal role for engineers and architects who enjoy variety, critical thinking, and hands‑on field work.

What You'll Do

• Perform forensic investigations of structural failures, building damage, and construction defects.
• Conduct field investigations, site inspections, and destructive testing as needed.
• Evaluate existing structures and determine the cause of distress, deterioration, or failure.
• Prepare clear, concise technical reports documenting findings, conclusions, and repair recommendations.
• Analyze architectural and structural drawings, building codes, specifications, and supporting documentation.
• Develop structural repair concepts and rehabilitation solutions.
• Present technical findings to clients and project teams.

• Excellent technical writing and communication skills.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
• Ability to manage multiple projects while maintaining exceptional attention to detail.
• Comfortable performing field work, including accessing roofs, crawl spaces, attics, ladders, and other challenging environments.
• Experience with Revit, AutoCAD, Bluebeam, or other industry-standard software is a plus.

Why You'll Love This Opportunity

• Work on challenging forensic and structural investigation projects—not repetitive production design.
• Diverse project portfolio spanning commercial, residential, and institutional buildings.
• Collaborative, highly technical team environment.
• Opportunities to mentor younger engineers while continuing to grow your own expertise.
• Hybrid work flexibility for Colorado-based employees.
• Strong support for professional development and continuing education.
