Director of Construction Engineering

Temporary Works / Construction Engineering Director | Charlotte, NC

Falsework, shoring, erection plans, heavy lift. There's a team already doing this work, and real backlog behind it. What's missing is the person to lead it.

A growing engineering group in the Charlotte market is bringing on a Director to take the reins of its construction engineering and temporary works practice. You'd step into an established team and an active book of work doing the kind of engineering design that gets built, not just stamped.

Why this role stands out:

• You inherit a working team and real backlog — the runway is there from day one
• You become the technical authority for the practice, with the standards and direction yours to set
• Room to grow the group and the client base as the practice expands
• Close to the field, close to the people building the work, and close to the decisions
• A seat at the table on where the broader organization goes next
• Relocation support available for the right person
• Salary $185,000 - $200,000. (Range reflects the target band for this role. Compensation for an exceptional candidate is negotiable above it.)

What you'll be doing:

• Act as the final technical voice on falsework, shoring, erection, and heavy lift questions across the organization
• Lead, mentor, and grow the engineering team
• Work shoulder to shoulder with field leadership to solve problems that come up mid-build
• Set the design standards, procedures, and quality bar the practice runs on
• Oversee delivery on complex construction engineering work across multiple regions
• Keep an eye on the business side: staffing, workload, utilization, and margin
• Help win the work — client conversations, proposals, and positioning

What we're looking for:

• PE license
• A decade or more designing falsework, shoring, erection schemes, demolition engineering, heavy lift, or temporary structures
• Experience leading engineers, whether as a group manager, discipline lead, or senior technical authority
• A real feel for how contractors sequence and build work
• Experience building or growing a practice — or the ambition to do it for the first time

If you're ready to lead the practice rather than be the go-to engineer inside someone else's, let's talk.
