Job Description

Structural Engineer

Take 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 role

Join 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 offer

  • Competitive compensation reflective of experience and responsibility
  • A growing environment with opportunities to advance your structural engineering career
  • Exposure to a variety of project types--from commercial structures to specialty site-related elements
  • A supportive, team-oriented culture rooted in quality, communication, and technical excellence
  • The ability to contribute ideas, improve processes, and help shape project outcomes

What you'll be doing

  • Designing structural components including foundations, retaining walls, slabs, framing systems, and miscellaneous structural elements
  • Preparing calculations, drawings, and technical reports
  • Reviewing civil site plans and coordinating on load paths, grading impacts, and constructability considerations
  • Completing field inspections, construction observations, and structural assessments
  • Collaborating with civil engineers, surveyors, project managers, and architects
  • Ensuring compliance with codes, standards, and best practices
  • Supporting the development of junior engineering staff as needed

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Civil or Structural Engineering
  • 2-5+ years of structural engineering experience preferred
  • Proficiency with structural analysis and CAD modeling software
  • Strong understanding of building codes, load calculations, and structural design principles
  • Ability to manage project responsibilities with strong attention to detail
  • Effective communication and a collaborative, solutions-driven mindset
  • Motivation to grow professionally and contribute meaningfully to a multidisciplinary engineering team

If 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.
