Senior Civil/Structural Engineer

Job Description

Job Description

Overview

Our client is a well-established engineering consultancy known for tackling technically complex challenges across infrastructure and industrial systems. They are brought in when projects require deeper analysis, stronger engineering judgment, and solutions that go beyond standard design approaches.

Their work supports clients operating in high consequence environments, where performance, safety, and long-term reliability are critical. The team is made up of experienced engineers who are recognized for their technical depth and are trusted to solve problems that are often ambiguous or highly specialized.

This is a senior-level position that blends hands-on engineering with project leadership and client interaction. You will have ownership of your work, direct exposure to clients, and the opportunity to shape both technical outcomes and project direction.

Position Overview

You will operate as both a technical lead and a project manager, responsible for delivering complex structural engineering work while guiding clients through problem definition and solution development.

The role is suited for someone who enjoys working on challenging systems rather than repetitive design, and who is comfortable stepping into a more visible, client-facing position.

Over time, this role can expand into broader technical leadership, mentoring, and deeper involvement in client relationships and repeat work.

Project Exposure

• Industrial and non-building structures
• Infrastructure systems across energy, transportation, and heavy industry
• Structural performance, failure analysis, and advanced modeling
• Highly technical environments where design, assessment, and real-world constraints intersect

Core Responsibilities

• Lead structural projects from scoping through delivery with ownership of budget and schedule
• Perform advanced analysis using finite element modeling and other analytical tools
• Act as a technical lead and key point of contact for clients
• Translate client problems into clear scopes and engineering solutions
• Review and guide work produced by junior and mid-level engineers
• Prepare and oversee technical documentation and deliverables
• Represent the firm in meetings, often independently
• Support ongoing client relationships and contribute to repeat business

Qualifications

• MS in Civil, Structural, or related discipline
• 7+ years of relevant structural engineering experience
• PE license required
• Strong background in structural mechanics, steel and concrete systems, and seismic design
• Experience with advanced analysis tools such as ANSYS, ABAQUS, SAP2000, LS-DYNA, Matlab, or similar
• Working knowledge of applicable design codes including IBC, ASCE, ACI, and AISC
• Demonstrated ability to manage projects and communicate clearly with clients

What Stands Out

• Work is technical, not repetitive. Expect problem solving, not production design
• Direct exposure to clients and decision makers
• Opportunity to operate as both a subject matter expert and project lead
• Strong internal bench of experienced engineers to collaborate with
• Flexible work model across multiple locations or remote

If you are interested in working on complex, high-impact projects and stepping into a more visible technical leadership role, apply directly or reach out to learn more.
