Prepare calculations, drawings, and technical documentation with guidance from senior engineers. Use structural modeling and BIM tools to develop coordinated, buildable designs. Participate in site visits , field observations, and construction-phase problem solving. Collaborate closely with architects, project managers, and other disciplines to deliver integrated solutions. Engage in internal quality processes and contribute to continuous improvement efforts.

Familiarity with design codes (IBC, ASCE 7, ACI, AISC). Experience with analysis software (RISA, RAM) and CAD/BIM (Revit) platforms. Strong communication skills and a team‑oriented mindset. The Traits That Matter Most We're especially interested in engineers who: Are curious and naturally inclined to dig into problems rather than wait for answers.

Show a genuine desire to grow their technical abilities and expand their understanding of the structural design environment. Embrace feedback as part of becoming a stronger engineer. Demonstrate ownership, reliability, and pride in the quality of their work. These qualities are what set apart good engineers from great ones — and we invest heavily in people who bring them. What We Offer Competitive compensation and benefits. Mentorship from experienced structural engineers. Support for professional development and PE/SE licensure. Opportunities to work on diverse, meaningful projects. A culture that values curiosity, initiative, and continuous improvement.
