About the Opportunity

Luxus Group is proud to represent a highly respected consulting engineering firm specializing in building envelope consulting, structural assessments, and property condition evaluations across the United States.

This is a high-impact Project / Senior Engineer role designed for professionals who want to move beyond traditional design engineering and into a client-facing, technically diverse consulting environment. You will play a critical role in evaluating real-world structures, advising clients on risk and performance, and leading engineering-driven decision-making across a wide variety of building types.

Position Overview

As a Project / Senior Engineer, you will lead and execute consulting engineering projects focused on building inspections, forensic evaluations, due diligence, and construction consulting. This role blends technical expertise, fieldwork, and client interaction, offering a dynamic career path with strong growth potential.

You will work directly with leadership and clients to plan, execute, and deliver high-quality engineering assessments, while also contributing to project strategy, reporting, and team development.

  • High-rise and low-rise structures
  • New construction and existing facilities
• Conduct forensic investigations, condition assessments, and due diligence reports
• Evaluate construction documents, materials, and system performance
• Provide technical recommendations related to building systems, failures, and improvements

Reporting & Documentation

• Prepare detailed, high-quality engineering reports and assessments
• Review and validate inspection findings to ensure accuracy and clarity
• Deliver client-ready documentation with actionable insights and recommendations

Senior-Level (Leadership Responsibilities)
