Your Role

  • As a Structural Engineer in our Protective Design & Security practice, you will support risk-based engineering and physical security design that strengthens the safety, resilience, and security of buildings and infrastructure. You will apply threat-informed engineering to structural hardening, blast effects, and progressive collapse, helping connect protective measures with architecture, site design, electronic security, and operations across buildings, campuses, and mixed-use environments. With support from your team, you will work in a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment while developing technical, analytical, and project coordination skills.
  • What You'll Do
  • Support protective design concepts and design studies involving blast effects, progressive collapse, structural hardening, and risk-informed design.
  • Assist with analysis, modeling, and calculation tasks as well as the integration of structural and physical security measures into project designs.
  • Help prepare diagrams, calculations, technical narratives, presentations, and design documentation that communicate protection measures clearly.
  • Coordinate with architects, engineers, planners, and security specialists in a multidisciplinary team environment.
  • Participate in on-site assessments, field surveys, and construction-phase activities.
  • Build familiarity with TT’s culture, services, and collaborative working style while growing your technical and professional skills.
  • What You'll Bring
  • Bachelor’s degree in structural or civil engineering, or a closely related field; master’s degree preferred.
  • Interest in protective design, security, resilience, and hazard-resistant engineering.
  • Strong analytical, written, and verbal communication skills.
  • Familiarity with design, visualization, documentation and computational tools such as Revit, AutoCAD, Rhino/Grasshopper, Adobe Creative Suite, Bluebeam, SAP2000, ETABS, or similar platforms is preferred.
  • Ability to obtain a U.S. security clearance.
  • Compensation
  • The rate for this position generally is $78,000 - $92,000 annually. This range is a good faith estimate provided pursuant to the California Pay Transparency Law. It is based on what a successful California applicant might be paid and assumes that the successful candidate will be in California or perform the position from California. Similar positions located outside of California will not necessarily receive the same compensation. Actual pay rates may vary from the range, as permitted by California Equal Pay Transparency Law. Compensation offers will be based on various factors, including operational needs, individual education, qualifications and experience, work location and comparison to employee already in the role, as well as other considerations permitted by law. A potential new employee’s pay history will not be used in compensation decisions.
