We are currently seeking a Senior Structural Engineer / Project Manager to join our multi-discipline team. You will deliver structural design for high-impact inland navigation, coastal protection, and civil works structures — including locks, dams, gates, waterfront structures, ports, hydropower, flood risk reduction, and fish passage facilities. In this role you will partner with national industry leaders and local experts on large, high-visibility projects for strategic clients (including the USACE and other Northwest public agencies).

As a Project Manager, you will lead interdisciplinary design teams, drive creative, community-focused solutions, and play a central role in shaping impactful projects. This position offers excellent opportunities for both technical growth and visible leadership across a diverse portfolio of complex infrastructure work.

The following duties are essential to this role. Reasonable accommodation will be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform these functions.

• Lead and manage complex, multi-discipline infrastructure projects including civil works (flood protection, navigation locks, dam structures), waterfront structures, and pump stations.

• Provide hands on project management and oversight of project execution by delivering projects on time, within scope, and on budget while exceeding client expectations.

• Perform structural design and analysis for new, replacement, and existing structures using hand calculations and finite element analysis for reinforced concrete and structural steel systems.

• Design and analyze structures to meet project specific and code requirements utilizing both hand and finite element analysis. Experience with seismic analysis is desirable.

• Lead the development of complete engineering calculation packages and clear, well organized technical documentation.

• Tackle complex engineering challenges by selecting, adapting, and innovating standard methods and, when appropriate, developing new solutions.

• Champion project quality through a robust QA/QC process and proactive technical reviews.

• Prepare clear, constructible contract documents, including plans, specifications, reports and addenda.

• Produce and review technical reports and client deliverables with a focus on clarity and actionable recommendations.

• Work closely with business development teams to pursue new opportunities: cultivate client relationships, scope projects, prepare compelling proposals and cost estimates, and support contract negotiations.

• Drive client satisfaction and repeat business; collaborate with managers and technical experts to market services and recruit top talent.

• Coordinate design solutions with clients, contractors, and internal disciplines through engaging presentations, design review meetings, and training.

• Mentor and develop staff—set performance expectations, give constructive feedback, and foster an inclusive culture that supports career growth.

• Consult with suppliers, fabricators, or contractors to interpret specifications and resolve technical challenges.
