Junior Structural Engineer; PE — Wasatch Front, UT — Mentorship + Path

Early-career structural engineer. Wasatch Front hybrid. $85K to $125K base. Real mentorship and day-one production work.

Mountain West engineering firm based in Mountain Green, UT. Hybrid setup: home-based with site visits across UT a few days per week.

This is the seat for an engineer who is building-code aware and ready to grow. You will work directly with our senior PE on residential, commercial, and light commercial projects across the Mountain West. Production work from day one. Not Revit grunt work.

As of now, we do not hire engineers straight from school. We hire engineers who already understand what holds a building up.

That understanding can come from internships, drafting jobs, framing crews, concrete work, structural inspections, or genuine self-study of the code. If you've spent time around real buildings and you can hold a conversation about how they go together, we want to talk.

Most junior engineer seats are 80% drag-and-drop drawings. We know that's boring and not productive.

We've built internal systems and AI tools that handle the repeatable work, which means even at the junior level you'll spend more of your time on actual engineering analysis and judgment. You'll work with a senior PE who is invested in your growth, not buried with their own production. You'll sit in on client calls. You'll go on site visits. You'll build the skills that compound into a strong career.

• Gravity and lateral calcs for residential and light commercial work
• Build and check Revit and AutoCAD models against your calcs
• Draft structural reports, condition assessments, and code letters
• Site visits across the Wasatch Front and Mountain West
• Bring questions, hypotheses, and recommendations to project meetings
• Grow toward stamp authority.

• BS in Civil or Structural Engineering, or equivalent technical foundation
• Active PE in any state. Both paths welcomed.
• 3 to 9 years of engineering, construction, or closely related experience
  
  Working knowledge of IBC, IRC, ASCE 7, and at least one of NDS, ACI 318, AISC 360
• Genuine understanding of how residential and light commercial buildings are framed and built
• Clear written and verbal communication

• Field background: framing, concrete, GC, structural inspection
• Comfort with AI tools and modern engineering workflows
• Multi-state PE interest. Additional states reimbursed and reflected in compensation.

• $85K to $125K base depending on PE status and experience
• Performance bonus tied to project outcomes
• PE prep and licensure reimbursement for EITs
• Health care, PTO, 401(k) with employer match
• A clear path to PE, stamp authority, and senior roles

PEs build toward stamp authority and senior technical roles. Engagement and support in the design of AI-assisted engineering systems is part of the growth.
