Structural Engineer/Project Manager

Structural Engineer / Project Manager

Lead building projects that stand apart.

Waukesha, WI | Hybrid

Own the client, the design, and the project outcome.

You're not looking to be just another "calc and details" engineer. You want to lead the work, own the client relationships, and set the standard for how structural projects get delivered.

In this role, you'll drive business development for structural building projects, manage your own portfolio of clients, and run projects from concept through construction administration.

You'll lead structural design for a variety of building types, guiding Project Engineers and BIM specialists while still staying close enough to the work to keep your technical edge sharp.

This is a chance to blend structural expertise, project leadership, and client development into one high-impact seat.

If you're a licensed Structural Engineer with a track record in building design and you're ready to lead, we want to talk to you.

You'll be the go-to leader for building-related structural projects, from first conversation to final punch list:

• Structural design of new and existing building projects
• Client-facing building projects with ongoing relationships
• Project budgets and delivery for structural assignments
• Design documents, structural calculations, and specifications
• Construction-phase structural support and administration
• Quality control reviews for structural deliverables
• Oversight of Project Engineers and BIM specialists
• Growth and management of a personal client portfolio

You'll apply your working knowledge of structural analysis and design software and Revit to keep projects efficient, coordinated, and buildable.

This is where technical excellence in structural engineering meets real responsibility for clients, budgets, and teams.
