From designing high-performance systems for new institutional landmarks to conducting vital structural investigations on existing facilities, you will be a key player in delivering safe, innovative solutions to our communities.

The Role: Analysis, Leadership, and Oversight

• Be a Field Expert: Conduct site visits and forensic structural investigations for renovations and additions to assess existing conditions.
• Collaborate Across Trades: Interface with architects and other engineering disciplines to ensure integrated, on-budget project delivery.
• Manage the Lifecycle: Generate construction specifications using CSI-based templates and handle contract administration, including RFIs and submittal reviews.

What You Bring

• Education: Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering with a structural emphasis (ABET‑accredited).
• Credentials: Licensed Professional Engineer (PE) is preferred.
• Technical Depth: Ideally 5–7+ years of experience in structural design for commercial, industrial, and institutional sectors.
• Material Mastery: Proficient in design using Steel, Concrete, Wood, Masonry, PEMB, and Light Gauge Steel.
• Strategic Thinking: Experience estimating engineering effort and managing project scopes.
