Entry-Level Structural Engineer - Summer 2027 - Advanced Facilities ELE

As a Structural Engineering Professional, you will be starting your journey to becoming an integral member of the design team counted on to assist in the performance of Structural analysis and design for our projects. You will need strong communication and interpersonal skills as you work closely with your Structural Lead, Structural Engineers, Structural Designers, and other disciplines.
