Job Description

We are seeking a Junior Structural Engineer to support structural design and project delivery. This role is ideal for an engineer who is past entry-level and ready to take ownership of defined technical tasks-producing reliable calculations, coordinated drawings, and disciplined documentation-under the guidance of senior engineers. A detail-oriented, quality-driven approach and strong follow-through are essential.
Key Responsibilities
Structural Design Support

• Prepare engineering calculations and design checks under supervision (load paths, gravity framing, basic lateral checks, member sizing, and detailing coordination).
• Support structural analysis/modeling and help develop structural design deliverables (plans, details, schedules, calculation packages).
• Translate design intent into clear markups and coordinate updates with drafting/modeling resources.

Drawings, Submittals & Technical Coordination

• Review structural drawings and project documents for consistency, constructability, and coordination with architectural/MEP/civil interfaces.
• Support responses to RFIs and submittals by gathering background, confirming criteria, and drafting technical responses for senior review.
• Track and resolve structural coordination items and ensure timely follow-through.

Documentation & QA/QC

• Compile organized, audit-ready calculation packages, design narratives, and decision logs.
• Perform self-checks and support QA/QC reviews using internal standards/checklists; flag discrepancies early.
• Maintain clean file organization and version control for models, drawings, and calculation folders.

Construction-Phase Support (As Needed)

• Participate in site visits/observations with senior staff; document conditions, photos, and action items.
• Assist in evaluating field conditions and proposed solutions; escalate risks/impacts appropriately.

Job Requirements

Required Qualifications (Must Have)

• Bachelor's degree in Structural Engineering or Civil Engineering (Structural concentration) from an accredited institution.
• 2-3 years of structural engineering experience (analysis, design support, documentation, coordination).
• Working knowledge of structural systems and construction documents.
• Proficiency with at least one relevant tool (e.g., AutoCAD, Revit, RISA, STAAD Pro or comparable).
• Strong attention to detail, organization, and ability to manage deadlines across multiple tasks.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications (Nice to Have)

• EIT / FE passed (preferred).
• Experience with steel and/or concrete design tasks; familiarity with typical framing and detailing conventions.
• Exposure to engineering standards/codes used in structural design (as applicable to your project types).
• Experience compiling calculation packages and addressing plan review comments.
