Job Description

Experienced Structural Engineer

Greenville, SC Area

Help Grow a Local Presence While Backed by an Established Team

This is a unique opportunity for an experienced structural engineer who wants more than project execution alone.

You'll play a key role in the continued growth of a Greenville-area engineering presence, helping strengthen client relationships, support project delivery, mentor engineers, and contribute to the long-term success of the office. At the same time, you'll be backed by an established and highly respected structural engineering practice with a strong reputation throughout the Southeast, deep technical resources, and a substantial backlog of work.

For engineers who enjoy the idea of helping build something locally without sacrificing the support, stability, and project opportunities of a larger organization, this role offers the best of both worlds.

Why Engineers Are Interested in This Opportunity

• Opportunity to help expand and strengthen a growing local office presence.
• Backed by a well-established structural engineering team with a strong reputation across the Southeast.
• Immediate access to a diverse and healthy pipeline of projects.
• Visible role with significant client interaction and influence on project success.
• Opportunity to mentor Jr. engineers and help shape team growth.
• Work on a wide variety of projects including industrial, manufacturing, distribution, commercial, adaptive reuse, renovation, data center, and specialty structures.
• Strong balance of technical design, project leadership, and business development exposure.
• Collaborative culture that values responsiveness, technical excellence, and professional growth.
• Multiple long-term career paths, whether your interests align with technical leadership, project leadership, client development, or office growth.

The Ideal Candidate

You're an experienced structural engineer who enjoys more than just design calculations.

You take pride in building strong client relationships, mentoring developing engineers, and serving as a trusted technical resource. You're energized by the opportunity to help grow a local presence and want a seat at the table when it comes to project delivery, client strategy, and team development.

Most importantly, you're looking for a role where you can combine technical expertise with leadership opportunities while helping shape the future of a growing office supported by one of the Southeast's most respected structural engineering teams.

If you're ready to make a visible impact, help grow a local presence, and work on challenging projects backed by a strong team and established reputation, we'd love to connect with you.
