• SE license (or PE license with active pursuit of SE)
• B.S. or M.S. in Structural Engineering
• Experience working across a variety of materials, including steel, concrete, timber, and light gauge steel
• Strong seismic and wind design experience
• Advanced skills in ETABS, SAP, RISA, or similar structural analysis software
• A knack for leading teams, mentoring others, and coordinating across multidisciplinary project teams
• Excellence in both technical and communication skills
