Structural Engineering - REMOTE

Description Switchboard Hiring is seeking a Structural Engineer on behalf of our client, a growing structural engineering firm in the south Denver metro. If you're one to two years into your career and you'd rather design a steel beam, a timber frame, and a foundation in the same week than spend three years on one project's connection details, let's talk. You'll join the firm's design team, working under a PE-licensed supervisor alongside fellow EITs and drafters. Think of this role as a full-spectrum apprenticeship. You'll get the variety you need while studying for your PE, and you'll have a real shot at leading a team once you pass.

Design and analyze structural systems across steel, concrete, masonry, and timber for projects ranging from residential framing and foundation repairs to small commercial builds

Work across a wide variety of projects on short timelines

Spend 20–40% of your time in the field conducting structural inspections, foundation assessments, and forensic evaluations

Support forensic and insurance-related investigations, including fire damage, water damage, and vehicle impacts

Collaborate and communicate directly with architects, contractors, homeowners, and insurance stakeholders

Prepare engineering drawings, calculations, specifications, and construction documents in compliance with building codes

Bachelor's degree in civil, structural, or architectural engineering

• 1–2 years of structural engineering experience
• Steel design experience preferred, especially from commercial projects
• Technical proficiency with Mathcad, Bluebeam, and Autodesk products (Revit/AutoCAD)
• You'll enjoy time in the field, not just behind a monitor
• Strong communicator who can explain complex issues to diverse stakeholders and deliver both good and challenging news professionally

This firm has kept its structure flat on purpose. Instead of climbing through Engineer I, II, III and Project Engineer 1 through 10, the path is engineer, supervisor, director, principal. Management track: You could specialize in the firm's fast-growing forensic engineering practice, where you'll develop expertise beyond traditional structural work, including roofing systems, glazing, and building envelopes
