Position Summary

As a Structural Engineering Professional, you will be an integral member of the design team, responsible for performing a significant portion of structural analysis and design for our projects. Strong communication and interpersonal skills are essential as you collaborate with your Structural Lead, Structural Engineers, Structural Designers, and other disciplines. You will help develop design concepts, complete analysis and design, and work with Designers to communicate structural requirements on design documents and in the model.

A solid foundation in the fundamentals of structural engineering, knowledge of multiple subject areas, and experience with US building codes, including seismic provisions, are expected. Understanding how structural design integrates with and impacts other disciplines is crucial. This position may require serving as a Lead Structural Engineer for medium-sized projects or as a Sub Lead for larger projects. Opportunities for career growth will be driven by your motivation, capabilities, and attitude.
