Structural Engineer

Advance Your Career with a Respected Engineering Firm

Our client, a highly respected civil and structural engineering firm with a strong reputation throughout the Pacific Northwest, is seeking a Structural Engineer to join its Seattle team.

For more than three decades, the firm has built a reputation for technical excellence, innovative problem-solving, and lasting client relationships. Engineers here are trusted advisors, collaborative partners, and key contributors to projects that shape communities throughout the region.

This is an opportunity to take the next step in your career with a firm that values technical expertise, professional growth, and leadership development. You'll work on a diverse range of projects, collaborate with experienced professionals, and gain exposure to every phase of the project lifecycle, from concept through construction.

What You'll Love About This Opportunity

• Join a well-established engineering firm known for delivering exceptional work throughout the Pacific Northwest.

• Lead the design and delivery of diverse structural engineering projects across multiple markets and building types.

• Work with a variety of construction materials and complex project challenges that will continue to expand your technical expertise.

• Develop your project management and leadership skills while mentoring and collaborating with other engineers.

• Build strong relationships with clients, architects, contractors, and multidisciplinary project teams.

• Gain meaningful exposure to all phases of project delivery, from design development through construction administration.

• Join a culture that values collaboration, continuous learning, innovation, and professional growth.

• Work alongside talented professionals who are committed to quality, creativity, and technical excellence.

What You'll Be Doing

As a Structural Engineer, you'll play a key role in the design and execution of structural engineering projects, preparing construction documents, developing structural solutions, coordinating with project teams, and supporting successful project delivery.

You'll have opportunities to lead portions of projects, strengthen client relationships, mentor junior engineers, and continue developing the technical and leadership capabilities that support long-term career growth.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Civil Engineering (Master's preferred)

• Three to eight years of structural design experience

• Engineer-in-Training (EIT) certification required

• Professional Engineer (P.E.) license preferred or ability to obtain within 12 months

• Strong technical, analytical, and problem-solving abilities

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

• Ability to manage priorities and perform effectively in a fast-paced project environment

• Strong collaboration and relationship-building skills

• Self-motivated with the ability to work independently and as part of a team

• Willingness to travel occasionally as needed

Compensation and Benefits

• Base salary of $95,000 to $120,000, depending on experience and qualifications

• Additional compensation for hours worked beyond 40 per week, paid quarterly

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance

• Health Savings Account (HSA) with employer contributions

• Company-paid life and AD&D insurance

• Company-funded ORCA transit pass

• 401(k) with company match

• Annual bonus and profit-sharing opportunities

• Monthly health and wellness stipend

• Generous paid time off, starting at 15 days annually

• Eight paid holidays

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This opportunity combines the stability, reputation, and resources of an established engineering firm with the ability to take on meaningful responsibility and continue advancing your career. You'll work on impactful projects, collaborate with highly skilled professionals, and gain the experience needed to grow into increasingly senior technical and leadership roles.

If you're looking for a firm that invests in its people, values technical excellence, and provides opportunities to make a lasting impact through your work, we'd love to connect with you.
