Structural Engineer

Structural Engineer

This role offers the opportunity to join a multi-disciplinary architecture and engineering firm as part of a collaborative structural engineering team working on a wide range of industrial, institutional, and commercial projects. The team delivers full-service consulting and design/build services and partners closely with in-house architectural, mechanical, and electrical disciplines, providing steady workload and diverse project experience. You will contribute to projects such as schools, hospitals, and industrial facilities, working alongside experienced licensed engineers in a stable, employee-owned company that emphasizes long-term careers, professional growth, and a supportive, family-focused culture.

• Utilize computer design software to perform structural design and analysis, including brace and moment frame design and general connection types used in building construction.
• Interpret and apply the structural sections of building codes, including seismic, wind, and snow drift loading requirements.
• Design and lay out commercial and industrial building steel systems, including foundations and related structural components.
• Perform detailed design of structural systems using steel, concrete, concrete block, and other common structural materials for building projects.
• Develop complete construction document packages based on project requirements and applications, coordinating closely with mechanical, architectural, and electrical disciplines.
• Direct drafting personnel in the preparation of drawings and project documents, and carefully check construction documents for accuracy and completeness.
• Review job-specific material specifications to ensure compliance with project requirements and applicable standards.
• Attend client meetings, including project review, construction, and project closeout meetings, to clearly understand and address owner requirements and expectations.
• Help clients determine project requirements and develop engineering scopes of work based on those needs.
• Review project shop drawings and submittals for conformance with design intent and specifications.
• Conduct on-site inspections of structural system installations to verify compliance with design documents and field conditions.
• Perform on-site surveys to establish and document accurate existing field conditions for use in design and detailing.
• Provide guidance to drafting personnel, offer feedback, and verify the quality and accuracy of their work.
• Perform your own drafting in AutoCAD and/or Revit when needed to support project schedules and deliverables.
• Communicate effectively with general contractors and subcontractors by answering questions, clarifying design intent, and supporting the construction process.
• Contribute to a collaborative team environment and support continuous improvement in design quality, efficiency, and client service.

• Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering with a structural emphasis.
• Some structural engineering experience gained through work or internship; new graduates with relevant experience are welcome.
• Proficiency in creating drawings using AutoCAD or Revit.
• Ability to use RISA software for both 2D and 3D structural modeling, or proficiency in similar structural engineering software with a willingness to learn RISA.
• Fundamental knowledge of structural engineering principles, including structural design, structural analysis, and structural concrete design.
• Ability to interpret and apply structural building code provisions related to seismic, wind, and snow drift loading.
• Comfort with visiting job sites occasionally and moving around within building structures to perform inspections and surveys.
• Strong initiative, a self-learner mindset, and a proactive approach to problem-solving and professional development.
• Effective communication skills for interacting with clients, project team members, and construction partners.
• Attention to detail and accuracy in design calculations, drawings, and documentation.

• Experience in structural engineering for industrial, institutional, or commercial projects (non-residential) is highly valued.
• Ability to perform building layouts, create detailed drawings, review shop drawings, and respond to questions from general contractors and subcontractors.
• Professional Engineer (PE) license is a strong plus.
• Revit proficiency beyond basic drafting is beneficial, especially for coordinating with other disciplines.
• Experience with industrial projects and/or design/build project delivery is preferred.
• Familiarity with RISA 3D and related structural analysis tools.
• Experience working within a multi-disciplinary consulting environment alongside architectural, mechanical, and electrical teams.
• Interest in long-term career growth, including progression into project management, leadership, and potential stock ownership in an employee-owned environment.
• Commitment to being an "engineer for life," maintaining hands-on technical involvement…
