Senior Structural Engineer - Marine & Waterfront

Stantec

Our preference is for this role to be based in a Northeast or Mid‑Atlantic office, but we are open to any US location for the right candidate. A career in transportation is more than bridges, roads, and rail. As we plan, design, and manage projects that move people and goods from Point A to Point B, we create connections that transform our communities. Every airport, road, bridge, port, or transit project is an opportunity to make communities safer, cleaner, and more resilient. Together, we’re making an impact around the world. The maritime industry is expanding and improving port and harbor infrastructure. Join our Ports and Marine team, and let’s navigate these waters together to find solutions for our clients. Opportunity Stantec is seeking a highly qualified senior structural engineer specializing in marine and waterfront design to support our transportation practice in New England.

Responsible for the review and sealing of contract deliverables. Perform independent technical and quality reviews. Exercises initiative and independent judgment in adapting and applying procedures to address unusual situations and to resolve issues. Ensures Stantec’s engineering and design procedures and guidelines are consistently and correctly applied on projects, with an eye toward continuous improvement. Consistently executes safe work practices and work plans while completing field and office work. Coordinates with clients, agencies, and others to obtain and determine project requirements and approvals. Responsible for invoicing, managing, and monitoring financial performance of project budgets using PM dashboard access. May write and negotiate proposals as project issues arise with clients or reviewing agencies. Your Capabilities and Credentials Highly skilled in technical and functional aspects of the role. Proven ability in staff supervision and leadership; experience directly managing others is required. Demonstrates strong collaboration, facilitation, and teamwork skills. Possesses strong communication and presentation skills. Ability to travel frequently within the New England area as required. Estimated travel: 25%. Licensed Professional Engineer (PE) in one New England state with ability to obtain licensure in other states within 6 months of employment as needed. Experience with engineering design tools such as MathCAD, AutoCAD, Civil 3D, BIM, Microsoft Project, and structural software such as CSiBridge, Shoring Suite, and Optimoor. Prior experience with US Federal agency engineering and construction projects (NAVFAC, USACE, AFCEE, etc.), or similar port and marine transportation entities is a plus. Education and Experience Bachelor’s degree in engineering from an accredited university. Advanced degree preferred. Minimum of ten years of relevant structural marine and waterfront structures experience. This position will primarily be in an office setting; may require some field work, some of which may be performed from a boat.
