• Develop and review calculations, engineering reports, and construction documents.
• Coordinate with multidisciplinary project teams to ensure successful project delivery.
• Attend client, architect, and contractor meetings throughout project development and construction.
• Review shop drawings, submittals, RFIs, and field conditions during construction.
• Perform quality assurance and quality control reviews of engineering work.

The Ideal Candidate

You're more than a strong engineer-you enjoy leading projects, building relationships, and helping others succeed.
You take ownership.
You enjoy tackling complex structural challenges.
You want the opportunity to influence projects, mentor Jr. engineers, and continue advancing your career.
Most importantly, you're looking for a place where your expertise is valued, your growth is supported, and your work has a visible impact on both projects and the people around you.
