Professional Engineer, Structural

At TKDA, a 100% employee-owned engineering firm, you will actually own a piece of every structure you help bring to life. We’re looking for a Professional Structural Engineer ready to tackle exciting challenges, from industrial facilities to educational buildings, mining structures to commercial developments.

You’ll work out of our Wauwatosa (Milwaukee) office, collaborating with Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, and Architectural professionals on projects that span Wisconsin, Minnesota, and across the country. One day you may be analyzing a complex industrial facility, and the next you may be designing structural systems for a university campus or government building.

This role is more than crunching numbers. You’ll lead multidisciplinary projects, mentor developing engineers, build relationships with clients, and contribute to business development through proposal writing and marketing efforts, helping to grow the practice and your own career.

Hybrid Work Environment:
Tuesday – Thursday in office;
Monday & Friday work from home.

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering with a structural focus.
• Professional Engineer license with 5‑12 years of experience designing buildings and building‑type structures, and preparing plans and specifications.
• Proficiency with MS Office (Word, Excel, Outlook).
• Familiarity with AutoCAD and Revit.
• Strong working knowledge of steel, cast‑in‑place concrete, masonry, and precast concrete design.
• Extensive experience working in a team environment and coordinating structural designs with multi‑disciplinary teams.
• Strong, effective verbal and written communication skills with project team members and clients.
• Proven ability to follow design standards and quality assurance procedures.
• Ability to travel up to 20% for team meetings, client consultations, and site inspections.

• Ability to coach, mentor, and develop less‑experienced structural engineering professionals (EIT, recent PE).
• Effective client communication and relationship management skills.
• Previous business development experience, including proposal preparation and fee estimation.

• Health Benefits: Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance from day one.
• Annual Incentive Plan: Eligible for discretionary bonuses.
• HSA Contributions: Monthly employer contributions if you choose an HSA‑eligible plan.
• 401(k) Match: Employer matching on 401(k) deferrals.
• Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP): Contributions funded entirely by company profits.
• Paid Time Off: PTO based on your professional experience and eight paid holidays per year.

Upon acceptance of a conditional offer, the selected candidate will be required to complete a standard pre‑employment background screening, which includes Social Security verification, educational verification, review of criminal convictions, and driving history.
