Build What Matters — and Lead It

In this role, you’ll lead diverse structural projects—from ground-up buildings to adaptive reuse and specialized infrastructure—while working in a collaborative boutique firm where your ideas are heard, your growth is prioritized, and your impact is immediately visible.

• Drive technical excellence – Perform and oversee structural design for steel and other systems

• Lead project execution – Manage schedules, budgets, and deliverables while proactively solving challenges

• Collaborate across disciplines – Partner closely with architects, civil/MEP teams, contractors, and clients

• Be a visible client partner – Build strong relationships and help deliver exceptional experiences

• Guide construction phases – Review shop drawings, respond to RFIs, and ensure design intent is achieved

• Get in the field – Conduct site visits to inform design and observe progress

• Mentor the next generation – Support and develop junior engineers

• Balance variety – Manage multiple projects in a fast-paced, engaging environment

What You Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering (Structural focus)

• PE license required

• ~5+ years of structural design + project management experience

• Strong experience with steel design and structural analysis

• Proficiency with tools like RAM, RISA, IES, or similar

• Experience with AutoCAD (Revit is a strong plus)

• Excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset

• Ability to manage multiple priorities without losing attention to detail

• Passion for mentoring and growing others

What Sets You Apart

• Experience across new construction, adaptive reuse, or infrastructure projects

• Creative problem-solver who enjoys thinking beyond the standard approach

• Comfort in a hands-on, high-ownership environment

• Strong client relationship skills and a service-oriented mindset

Why Join Us

• High visibility, real impact – Your work won’t get lost in layers of bureaucracy

• Growth-focused environment – Clear path to expand leadership and technical influence

• Collaborative, tight-knit team – Work alongside experienced engineers who chose quality over corporate scale

• Variety of interesting projects – No two days (or projects) look the same

• Modern office in Raleigh – Convenient North Hills/Falls of Neuse location
