Job description

Benesch is a growing, multi-disciplined planning, engineering, and professional services firm. We enhance infrastructure and communities across the country – creating spaces and providing connections in ways that make a difference.

We pride ourselves on being nimble enough to remain responsive to client needs yet large enough to offer exceptional bench strength. As a member of our team, you’ll have an opportunity to draw from those resources when you need them and, likewise, contribute your expertise when you have something to share.

At Benesch, we are looking for candidates with varied backgrounds and worldviews. We are committed to offering an inclusive work environment where everyone feels valued and respected. Statistics show that women and underrepresented groups are less likely to apply for a position if they don’t meet 100% of the qualifications. If this statement resonates with you, don’t be so hard on yourself—apply for the job!

Structural Engineering Group Manager – Georgia Division

At Benesch, we’re not just designing structures — we’re shaping communities. As our Georgia Structural Engineering Group Manager, you’ll guide a talented team delivering transformative projects that strengthen connections, improve safety, and enhance the everyday lives of people across the state and the Southeast.

This hybrid position offers flexibility to balance in-office collaboration at our Atlanta office with remote work.

Key Projects Shaping Communities Across Georgia

Our Georgia Division is delivering impactful infrastructure and community development projects that showcase the breadth of our expertise and commitment to improving the places where people live, work, and connect:

• West Broad Roundabout – Design of a complex five-legged, multi-lane roundabout on a state route, with construction scheduled to begin this year
• North Oconee River Greenway (Athens, GA) – Successful delivery of two greenway improvement projects that enhance connectivity and recreational opportunities within the community
• Firefly Trail (Athens, GA) – Ongoing multi-phase trail development, with one phase completed and another currently under construction
• Langley Park & North Augusta Amphitheater – Completed park and amphitheater projects that have created vibrant public spaces for recreation, events, and community engagement

This work reflects our team's ability to deliver transportation, trail, park, and public space projects that make a lasting impact throughout Georgia.

The Impact You’ll Make

In this leadership role, you’ll have the opportunity to make a direct, lasting impact on both people and places:

• Lead and grow the Georgia Structural Engineering Group, overseeing bridge and structural design, bridge inspection, and rehabilitation services
• Deliver excellence by managing multi-office project teams assuring the right people, budgets, and schedules align for successful outcomes
• Shape the future of our regional practice by driving strategic growth initiatives and expanding bridge and structural design services throughout Georgia and the Southeast
• Build and strengthen relationships with clients, industry partners, and professional organizations to position Benesch as a trusted leader in infrastructure
• Identify and pursue opportunities that align with our long-term goals and help shape the region’s infrastructure landscape
• Collaborate and innovate as part of the Southeast regional leadership team to expand our market presence
• Inspire and mentor junior and mid-level engineers, fostering their professional growth and supporting a culture of technical excellence and collaboration

It’s simple. We invest in our people, not just our projects.

• Career growth that’s real with leadership development, training, and clear paths forward
• Strong financial future with up to 9% retirement contribution for benefit-eligible employees
• Flexibility that works with schedules that support your life
• Time to recharge with generous paid time off and parental leave for benefit-eligible employees
• Support beyond work through mentorship, hands-on experience, and opportunities to make an impact from day one

Whether you’re starting your career or bringing years of experience, you’ll have the support and exposure to grow here.
