Senior Structural Engineer

Are you ready to take the lead on complex structural design projects in a fast-paced, hands-on construction environment? Do you thrive on creating technical solutions that support successful mechanical system installations?

As a Senior Structural Engineer
, you’ll oversee multiple structural projects from start to finish—designing anchorage, seismic bracing, and vibration isolation systems for HVAC, plumbing, and piping equipment. In this role, you’ll balance hands‑on design work with mentorship, task delegation, and cross‑functional collaboration. You’ll also serve as a subject matter expert, supporting both project execution and team development.

• Manage multiple structural projects that vary in complexity, owning design execution from inception to delivery.
• Review incoming design requests, prioritize workload, and delegate design tasks to junior engineers based on skill and capacity.
• Mentor and coach Design Engineers I and II, providing guidance on design best practices, code interpretation, and field challenges.
• Provide input to the Structural Lead on workload planning and team development efforts, and maintaining internal standards and preferred product documentation.
• Serve as the team’s subject matter expert on anchorage and vibration isolation design, including advanced knowledge of system applications, product options, and limitations.
• Design structural support systems, including seismic bracing, anchorage, and isolation systems for HVAC, plumbing, and piping systems.
• Perform structural calculations for non‑structural components in compliance with applicable codes and standards (CBC, CMC, IBC, ASCE 7, ACI, ANSI, AISC, NDS, SMACNA, and ASHRAE).
• Coordinate with manufacturers and vendors to select, validate, and confirm compatibility of anchorage and isolation components with both design criteria and field conditions.
• Collaborate closely with Project Managers, Detailers, Superintendents, and Foremen to evaluate constructability, resolve field constraints, and coordinate timely revisions.
• Serve as a key point of contact for internal stakeholders on structural design matters, participating in engineering turnover meetings, project meetings, and design coordination efforts.
• Create and compile detailed anchorage and bracing calculation packages, including CAD‑generated details, with clear and consistent presentation.
• Stamp design packages with a current PE license where required for permit submissions or code compliance.
• Attend manufacturer‑led training sessions, industry seminars, and SVM’s internal Learning & Development courses to stay current on evolving codes, standards, and best practices in structural design.

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil, Architectural, or Structural Engineering required
  .
• 7+ years’ of structural design experience with a minimum of 2+ years designing non‑structural components for HVAC & Plumbing projects required
  .
• Professional Engineer (PE) license in California or Nevada required
  .
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with a ability to explain technical concepts to non‑engineers required
  .
• Proven ability to support multiple projects with shifting priorities and fast‑paced schedules required.
• Proficient in AutoCAD, REVIT, Bluebeam, RISA‑3D, Microsoft Office Products, and anchor design software preferred.
• Knowledge of applicable building codes and seismic design criteria required.
• Advanced knowledge of mechanical systems, equipment anchorage, and seismic bracing in the MEP industry required.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail, with a commitment to producing accurate and high‑quality work a must.
• Demonstrated success mentoring and coaching engineers at various levels a plus.
