Job Description
Help for Job Description. Opens a new window. We are Olsson. We engineer and design solutions that improve the world around us. As a company, we promise to always be responsive, transparent, and focused on results - for our people, our clients, and our company. We're a people-centric firm, so it's no surprise our greatest asset is our people. The impact this creates is an environment that encourages our people to grow and be creative with their talents. This approach builds a culture that is uniquely Olsson. It allows us to grow our people as we grow our business. This, in turn, creates a lasting impact on the world around us. Job Description Olsson is seeking a highly skilled and motivated Project Structural Engineer to join our Federal Engineering and Design Team, where your expertise will directly support the development of mission-critical infrastructure across the country. From military installations and VA hospitals to federal campuses and secure facilities, you'll help shape the structural backbone of projects that serve national interests and improve lives. This is more than a design role — it's an opportunity to lead, collaborate, and innovate within a team that values technical excellence, client service, and community impact. As a Project Structural Engineer, you'll take ownership of structural design and coordination across a range of federal projects.
Your day-to-day will include:
- Lead structural engineering efforts for vertical infrastructure projects including barracks, hospitals, administrative buildings, and specialized federal facilities.
- Perform detailed structural analysis and design of steel, concrete, masonry, and wood systems. Develop construction documents including plans, specifications, and calculations.
- Work closely with architects, civil engineers, mechanical/electrical teams, and federal stakeholders to ensure seamless integration of structural systems.
- Apply design standards including UFC (Unified Facilities Criteria), IBC (International Building Code), ASCE, AISC, and other federal and industry codes.
- Support proposal writing, scope development, and participate in federal RFP responses to help grow Olsson's federal portfolio.
- Provide technical guidance to junior engineers, review work for quality and accuracy, and foster a collaborative learning environment. Why Olsson?
- Contribute to projects that serve national interests and make a difference in communities.
- Choose from remote, hybrid, or in-office arrangements that support your lifestyle and productivity.
- Join a team that values mentorship, innovation, and shared success. We celebrate wins together and learn from challenges.
- Advance your career through leadership roles, technical training, and exposure to high-profile federal clients.
