Job Description
Job DescriptionJob DescriptionStructural EngineerTake the next step in your engineering career with a team that values precision, innovation, and the real-world impact of exceptional structural design.Why this is more than just another engineering roleJoin an environment where your structural expertise directly shapes buildings, infrastructure, and developments across commercial, industrial, and public sectors. This team supports projects from concept through construction, integrating structural engineering with civil design, surveying, and modern field technologies. Here's why structural engineers excel here:A wide range of structural work: You'll contribute to foundation systems, retaining walls, load-bearing analysis, building framing, seismic considerations, and structural evaluations that support diverse development projects.Integration with other disciplines: You won't work in isolation--structural, civil, and surveying teams collaborate closely, providing a more holistic engineering experience.Hands-on involvement: Your work doesn't end on the screen. You'll be involved in site visits, inspections, and construction-phase support, helping ensure your designs perform in the field.Modern tools and modeling: With access to current analysis and drafting platforms, you'll work efficiently and accurately, with the freedom to innovate.A place where your judgment matters: You'll have autonomy to guide design decisions, solve structural challenges, and influence project direction.What we offerCompetitive compensation reflective of experience and responsibilityA growing environment with opportunities to advance your structural engineering careerExposure to a variety of project types--from commercial structures to specialty site-related elementsA supportive, team-oriented culture rooted in quality, communication, and technical excellenceThe ability to contribute ideas, improve processes, and help shape project outcomesWhat you'll be doingDesigning structural components including foundations, retaining walls, slabs, framing systems, and miscellaneous structural elementsPreparing calculations, drawings, and technical reportsReviewing civil site plans and coordinating on load paths, grading impacts, and constructability considerationsCompleting field inspections, construction observations, and structural assessmentsCollaborating with civil engineers, surveyors, project managers, and architectsEnsuring compliance with codes, standards, and best practicesSupporting the development of junior engineering staff as neededWhat we're looking forBachelor's degree in Civil or Structural Engineering2-5+ years of structural engineering experience preferredProficiency with structural analysis and CAD modeling softwareStrong understanding of building codes, load calculations, and structural design principlesAbility to manage project responsibilities with strong attention to detailEffective communication and a collaborative, solutions-driven mindsetMotivation to grow professionally and contribute meaningfully to a multidisciplinary engineering teamIf you're ready to work on impactful projects where your structural expertise helps bring designs to life, this position offers the responsibility, variety, and growth you're looking for.
