Job Description

Job Title: Structural Engineer

This role focuses on the structural engineering analysis and design of bridge and transportation-related structures, with an emphasis on bridge structural design and inspection. You will serve as a lead designer on simple to moderately complex assignments, support site investigations and inspections, and collaborate closely with a small structural engineering team. The position offers the opportunity to work on a broad range of public and private sector projects within the New York City area, with a hybrid work structure and comprehensive benefits.

• Perform structural engineering analysis and design for bridge and transportation-related structures, including concrete, structural steel, and masonry components.
• Lead the structural design of bridges and related transportation structures on simple to moderately complex assignments.
• Assist in site investigations to document existing conditions, including detailed bridge inspections and condition assessments.
• Perform site inspections for projects engineered by the office to verify conformance with design documents and engineering intent.
• Complete and review structural design calculations to ensure accuracy, safety, and compliance with applicable codes and standards.
• Assist in the preparation of detailed drawings and specifications using AutoCAD and other design tools.
• Provide timely responses and practical engineering solutions to issues that arise during the construction administration phase of projects.
• Coordinate structural engineering work products with in-house engineering staff and architects to ensure integrated, multidisciplinary project delivery.
• Apply relevant code requirements and agency standards, including those of NYCDOT, NYSDOT, and NJDOT, to design and review activities.
• Contribute to quality control and continuous improvement by reviewing peer work and incorporating lessons learned into future designs.

• Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering or Structural Engineering.
• Approximately 7+ years of experience in structural engineering.
• Demonstrated experience in structural engineering analysis and design for bridges and transportation-related structures.
• Hands‑on experience with concrete, structural steel, and masonry structures.
• Proficiency in structural analysis and structural design methodologies.
• Proficiency with AutoCAD for the preparation of structural drawings and details.
• Experience working with NYCDOT, NYSDOT, and NJDOT standards and procedures.
• Strong understanding and practical application of structural code requirements.
• Professional Engineer (PE) license.
• Ability to serve as a lead designer on simple to moderately complex structural assignments.
• Strong coordination skills to work effectively with other engineers and architects.
• Ability to conduct site investigations and inspections and document existing conditions clearly.

• Master’s degree in Civil or Structural Engineering is a plus.
• NY or NJ Professional Engineer (PE) license is a plus.
• Experience with bridge inspection and documentation is highly desirable.
• Experience working with a mix of public and private sector clients.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills for preparing reports, specifications, and responding to construction inquiries.
• Ability to manage multiple assignments and prioritize tasks in a project-based environment.
• Interest in a broad range of structural engineering work beyond bridges, including transportation-related structures.

You will work as part of a dedicated structural engineering team of approximately five engineers, collaborating closely on design projects for the New York City area and other transportation-related assignments. The role follows a hybrid work structure, combining office-based work with time spent in the field for site investigations, bridge inspections, and construction‑phase site visits. You will use tools such as AutoCAD and standard structural analysis software in a professional office setting, coordinating with in-house engineering staff and architects.
