• Perform structural analysis and engineering calculations for existing and modified structural systems.

• Prepare detailed structural drawings, specifications, technical reports, and engineering recommendations.

• Evaluate structural systems involving steel, concrete, masonry, wood, and other building materials.

• Support historic preservation projects by developing structural solutions that accommodate existing building conditions and preservation objectives.

• Coordinate with architects, engineers, consultants, contractors, and building owners throughout project development.

• Manage project budgets, schedules, deliverables, and technical quality.

• Conduct site visits and provide construction-phase engineering support.

• Review structural designs, calculations, specifications, and project documentation for compliance with applicable codes and standards.

• Provide technical guidance, training, and mentorship to junior engineers and design staff.

• Assist with resolving field conditions, constructability challenges, and unforeseen structural issues.

• Maintain strong client relationships and participate in project interviews, presentations, and business development activities.

• Incorporate sustainable design principles, including preservation and reuse of existing structural systems where appropriate.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Civil, Structural, or Architectural Engineering, or equivalent.

• Professional Engineer (PE) license required.

• 7+ years of structural engineering experience within a building design consulting environment.

• Strong experience with structural analysis, design, and evaluation of existing buildings.

• Knowledge of structural rehabilitation, repair methods, strengthening techniques, and building modifications.

• Advanced understanding of structural mechanics, load paths, material behavior, and engineering design principles.

• Experience working with steel, reinforced concrete, masonry, wood, and other structural systems.

• Ability to perform structural assessments, prepare engineering reports, and develop technical recommendations.

• Advanced proficiency in preparing and reviewing structural calculations, construction drawings, and specifications.

• Experience leading engineering projects and coordinating multidisciplinary design teams.

• Strong knowledge of applicable building codes, engineering standards, and construction practices.

• Ability to independently perform technical reviews and final quality control checks.

• Experience managing project budgets, schedules, and client expectations.

• Strong leadership, mentoring, communication, and problem-solving skills.

• Proficiency with Microsoft Office, including Excel, Word, and Outlook.

• Ability to travel up to 20%, including occasional overnight stays.

Preferred Qualifications

• Master's degree in Structural Engineering.

• 12+ years of structural engineering experience.

• Extensive experience with structural rehabilitation, historic preservation, restoration, and adaptive reuse projects.

• Experience evaluating aging buildings, deteriorated structural systems, and existing facilities.

• Background in structural retrofits, strengthening, repairs, and building modifications.

• Experience with facility condition assessments and forensic structural investigations.

• Familiarity with existing building codes and structural evaluation requirements.

• Experience working on commercial, civic, educational, aviation, or historic facilities.

• Experience serving as a Lead Structural Engineer or Project Manager on complex rehabilitation projects.

• Strong client relationship management and business development experience.

• Experience mentoring engineers and overseeing structural design teams.

• Familiarity with sustainable structural design and embodied carbon reduction initiatives.
