Experience managing and mentoring designers, CAD professionals, and junior engineers, including workload planning and performance reviews.
Ability to coordinate effectively with multiple engineering disciplines to deliver integrated, cost-efficient projects.
Strong communication skills for interfacing with clients, leading meetings, and conveying technical requirements to project teams.
Willingness and ability to travel regularly to project sites throughout the southeastern United States.
Ideal candidates have approximately 12–18 years of structural engineering experience, though other experience levels will be considered.
Experience with industrial facilities in regions such as Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, and Georgia.
Background in business development activities, including attending bid meetings, site walkdowns, and contributing to internal proposals.
Interest in long-term career growth, including progression into a VP-level role overseeing structural engineering and design teams.
Motivation to participate in an ownership or equity program, with the option to buy into the organization over time.
Leadership abilities suited to overseeing a team of designers, CAD professionals, and junior structural engineers.
Strong organizational skills for document control, project closeout, and maintaining accurate records in internal systems.
The role is based primarily in an engineering office environment with regular daily travel to industrial project sites throughout the southeastern United States. Over time, progression into a VP role will require being physically located in Dothan, Alabama to effectively lead the structural engineering function and oversee the local team. The core business operates across Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, and Georgia, with projects focused on large industrial facilities. The position involves close collaboration with designers, CAD professionals, and other engineers, as well as direct oversight of a team that may include multiple designers, CAD specialists, and a junior structural engineer.
