Job Description

Job Description

We’re seeking a Structural Engineer who enjoys tackling concrete and steel design challenges while supporting projects from analysis through field execution. This role blends technical design work with quality-minded review and real-world coordination to ensure structures are safe, buildable, and code-compliant. It’s a great opportunity for someone who takes ownership of their work and values strong collaboration across engineering and construction teams.

Key Responsibilities

  • Perform structural analysis and design for concrete, precast, and structural steel systems using tools such as RISA, SP-SLAB, and SP-Column.
  • Develop engineering calculations and design packages aligned with ACI requirements and project standards.
  • Support quality control reviews of drawings, details, and deliverables to maintain accuracy and constructability.
  • Participate in field support activities including site visits, coordination meetings, and inspection follow-ups as needed.
  • Work closely with internal teams and external partners to resolve design questions and keep projects moving forward.

Key Qualifications

  • Experience using structural analysis and design software including RISA, SP-SLAB, and SP-Column.
  • Strong background in concrete and precast structural systems.
  • Working knowledge of ACI design standards and structural engineering best practices.
  • Experience with structural steel design concepts and detailing coordination.
  • Ability to support QC review processes and deliver well-organized documentation.
  • Comfortable supporting field-related coordination and inspection activities.
  • Strong attention to detail with excellent technical problem-solving skills.
  • Effective communicator and team-oriented mindset.
