Civil Structural Engineer

What you’ll do :-

• Design structural systems for buildings, bridges, industrial facilities, and civil infrastructure in steel, reinforced and post-tensioned concrete, masonry, timber, and cold-formed steel
• Perform gravity, lateral, seismic, wind, snow, and blast load analysis per ASCE 7, IBC, AISC 360, ACI 318, AASHTO LRFD, NDS, and local code amendments
• Model and analyze structures in ETABS, SAP2000, RISA, SAFE, RAM, STAAD.Pro, or similar, and verify results with hand calculations
• Produce calculations, drawings, and specifications in Revit, AutoCAD, Civil 3D, or Tekla, coordinating tightly with architects, MEP, geotechnical, and civil teams
• Design foundations, retaining walls, culverts, bridge components, and other civil structures, working from geotechnical reports and survey data
• Assess existing structures for condition, capacity, and code compliance, including forensic investigations, load rating, and retrofit and seismic upgrade design
• Perform site visits for field observation, inspections, and construction administration, reviewing shop drawings, RFIs, submittals, and change orders
• Support permitting by responding to plan review comments and working with building officials and DOT agencies
• Use BIM, parametric design, and generative tools (Grasshopper, Dynamo) to compare options and cut material use and embodied carbon
• Use Python or Excel to automate calculations and checks, and use AI-assisted tools carefully to speed up drafting and research, with your professional judgment and sealed-drawing responsibility on every deliverable
• Support sustainability goals such as LEED, low-carbon concrete, and mass timber, and help clients balance cost, schedule, and performance
• Write clear technical reports, proposals, and fee estimates, and take part in project budgeting and scheduling
• Mentor junior engineers and technicians, and grow client relationships that bring repeat work

Find your level :-

• Level Typical experience What you’ll own
• Structural Engineer I / EIT - 0-2 years : Calculations, models, drawing markups, field observations, and design support, learning with a dedicated mentor and a paid path to your PE and SE
• Structural Engineer II / Project Engineer - 2-6 years : Owning design packages and smaller projects, leading analysis and coordination, running construction administration, and mentoring junior staff
• Senior Structural Engineer - 6+ years : Leading major projects and client relationships, sealing drawings as a PE/SE, setting technical standards, reviewing the work of others, and driving business growth

Promotion criteria are written down at every level, with regular career conversations. Many of our engineers have moved into project manager, principal, specialty roles (bridges, seismic, forensics, tall buildings), and practice leadership.

What you bring

Must have :-

• Strong grounding in structural analysis, mechanics of materials, steel and concrete design, and structural dynamics
• Hands-on experience from a job, internship, co-op, capstone, or student design team (steel bridge, concrete canoe, and similar competitions count)
• Working knowledge of structural analysis software and CAD or BIM tools
• Clear technical writing, careful attention to detail, and a methodical approach to checking your own work
• Bachelor’s degree in Civil or Structural Engineering from an ABET-accredited program (a master’s degree is valued, especially for seismic and advanced analysis work), or equivalent qualifications
• EIT certification or Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam passed, or a clear plan to take it. At senior levels, PE license (SE where required)
• Authorization to work in the United States

Nice to have (not required) :-

• PE or SE license, or progress toward it (we cover exam fees, review courses, study time, and licensing and renewal in multiple states)
• Memberships and involvement with ASCE, SEAOC, SEI, AISC, or ACI chapters (we’ll pay for them)
• Experience with Revit, RAM, ETABS, SAP2000, RISA, Tekla, or Grasshopper
• Experience with seismic design, wind engineering, post-tensioned concrete, mass timber, or tilt-up and precast systems
• Experience with bridge design and inspection, load rating, or DOT projects (AASHTO, NBIS)
• Experience with existing building evaluation, historic renovation, or forensic engineering
• Skills in Python, Dynamo, or finite element modelling
• Special inspector certifications (ICC) or familiarity with field and construction administration
• Industry background in [commercial, healthcare, education, multifamily, industrial, transportation, water and wastewater, energy, data centers, government, etc.]
• Spanish fluency, an asset for bilingual teams and regions [if applicable]
• Valid driver’s licence and willingness to travel to project sites [if applicable]
• Security clearance or willingness to obtain one for federal projects [if applicable]
