We are seeking a Structural Engineer who can guide building projects from concept through completion. This role blends technical design expertise with project leadership and client management.

These responsibilities include:

• Lead structural engineering projects through all phases—from early planning to final closeout.
• Collaborate with architectural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and other design disciplines to align structural solutions with overall project requirements.
• Direct and coordinate the creation of engineering calculations, analyses, and construction documents.
• Support proposal development by preparing scopes, fees, and contract documents.
• Forecast workflow, and plan schedules for the project team.
• Work closely with engineers and BIM Designers to refine design details and ensure high-quality construction document production.
• Conduct or oversee site visits, construction observations, and progress reporting.
• Review shop drawings and submittals during construction and provide timely engineering responses.
• Maintain ongoing communication with clients and nurture strong, lasting professional relationships.
