️ Ready to level up your structural engineering career - and make it count for your community?
We're looking for a talented Senior Engineer who's passionate about innovative design and ready to lead projects that bring people together. If you've got 6+ years of experience and a drive to create extraordinary structures for sports and community spaces, let's talk!
Who We Are: We're Holmes US - a structural engineering firm that's anything but boring! With offices across the West Coast and roots in New Zealand, we're known for taking on projects that make other firms say, "Wait, how did they do that?"
Our team takes pride in creating spaces where people come together to cheer, play, and connect. From regional community hubs to professional athletic venues, Holmes is where creativity and collaboration meet engineering excellence.
(And don't worry - you don't need to know the offside rule or memorize batting averages for this job. We're here for the structures, not the scores!)
Your Impact:
Lead project teams from concept through construction on sports and community facilities
Develop innovative structural solutions for community centers, school sports complexes, collegiate athletic venues, and professional facilities
Manage client and stakeholder relationships, ensuring projects are functional, sustainable, and impactful
Mentor rising engineers and foster a collaborative environment aligned with Holmes' commitment to growth
Drive quality control and technical excellence across diverse project types
Shape project scope and resources to balance creativity, budget, and performance requirements
You'll Thrive Here If You Have:
6+ years in structural engineering consultancy, with experience in commercial projects
SE license (or PE license with active pursuit of SE)
B.S. or M.S. in Structural Engineering
Experience working across a variety of materials, including steel, concrete, timber, and light gauge steel
Strong seismic and wind design experience
Advanced skills in ETABS, SAP, RISA, or similar structural analysis software
A knack for leading teams, mentoring others, and coordinating across multidisciplinary project teams
Excellence in both technical and communication skills
Why You'll Love It Here:
Engineering That Inspires
Lead the design of venues where memories are made
Work on diverse sports and community projects - from K-12 complexes to professional facilities
Create lasting gathering spaces that serve communities for generations
Access cutting-edge design tools and approaches
Balance new construction with seismic retrofits
Growth & Leadership

Regular professional development opportunities
Build lasting relationships with clients, architects, and community stakeholders
Cross-disciplinary collaboration on industry-leading projects
