Who Thrives Here

You are an ambitious, early-career structural engineer (often a recent master's graduate) who is curious, collaborative, and eager to learn from experienced mentors. You want meaningful technical challenges, exposure to real project work, and a clear path toward professional growth (including PE licensure). Candidates who enjoy seismic analysis, steel and reinforced concrete design, or advanced structural analysis will fit especially well.

What You’ll Do

• Perform structural analysis and design tasks under licensed-engineer guidance, applying sound engineering judgment and applicable building codes.
• Produce organized, accurate contract documents and deliverables that meet project objectives, scope, budget, and schedule.
• Collaborate with project teams and clients: attend meetings, prepare technical documentation, and communicate clearly in writing and conversation.
• Join site visits to observe field conditions and construction activities; document observations and relate them to design decisions.
• Grow technically through mentorship, feedback, and project experience while progressing toward PE licensure.
• Own assigned work, ask clarifying questions, share ideas, and contribute to team success.
