Credentials: Licensed Professional Engineer (PE) is preferred.
Technical Depth: Ideally 5–7+ years of experience in structural design for commercial, industrial, and institutional sectors.

Strategic Thinking: Experience estimating engineering effort and managing project scopes.

True Flexibility: We work where we are most effective—in the office, from home, in the field, and in the community. We offer great flexible hours to support your professional and personal life.
Beyond the Years: We value your professional goals and the specific depth of your experience just as much as your 'years of practice.'
Creative Involvement: You aren't just a 'production' engineer here; you are welcomed into the creative process to provide excellent solutions for our clients.
Stable & Growing: Join a firm with a broad regional footprint and a diverse project portfolio that offers long-term career stability.
