Senior Structural Engineer PM
Structural Project Engineer / Project Manager - Growing Engineering Firm (Dallas, TX)
Work across diverse project types. Accelerate your leadership path. Join a firm that truly invests in its people.
A highly respected structural engineering practice in Dallas is seeking a Structural Project Engineer or Project Manager (4-8 years' experience) to join a close‑knit, people‑focused team known for technical excellence, strong architect relationships, and a culture built on humility, collaboration, and genuine mentorship.
This firm offers something rare in the Dallas market:
broad project exposure and accelerated access to leadership responsibilities.
Why This Firm Stands Out
1. Truly Diverse Project Experience
Engineers here gain exposure to a wide range of building types early in their career, including:
- Large mixed‑use and multifamily developments
- Steel and concrete commercial buildings
- Mid‑rise wood‑framed projects
- High-rise design experience rooted in the partners' backgrounds
- Specialty work, complex architectural structures, and renovation projects
You will not be pigeonholed-this environment develops well‑rounded engineers much faster than typical firms in the region.
2. Fast‑Tracked Leadership Growth
This firm provides earlier-than-normal access to responsibilities usually reserved for senior staff at bigger companies. You will actively develop:
- Project management skills
- Client‑facing experience
- Business development exposure (relationship‑building, client meetings, early networking)
- Mentorship and team leadership with junior engineers
If you're capable, you'll lead.
That translates directly into faster promotions, higher earning potential, and a shorter path to senior roles such as Senior PM, Director, and beyond.
3. Supportive, Humble, Human-Centered Culture
Engineers here consistently describe the team as:
- Kind, humble, and highly collaborative
- Technically sharp but down‑to‑earth
- Invested in mentoring and supporting each other
- Open about knowledge gaps and eager to help younger engineers grow
The leadership team is emotionally intelligent, teaches well, and is deeply committed to developing people-not just producing drawings.
4. Real Project Impact & Meaningful Responsibility
You'll be involved in all aspects of project delivery, including:
- Structural design across various material types
- Direct coordination with architects, developers, and contractors
- Site visits and real‑world problem solving
- Strategy planning with senior leadership
- Mentoring younger engineers
- Helping shape team processes and client relationships
Your work will matter, your voice will matter, and your growth will matter.
Role Responsibilities
- Lead structural design tasks on commercial, multifamily, and mixed-use projects
- Manage schedules, budgets, and deliverables
- Communicate with clients and represent the firm professionally
- Mentor EITs and contribute to internal training
- Participate in light business development efforts
Ideal Experience
- 4-8 years of structural engineering experience
- PE license or close to obtaining one
- Strong foundation in wood, concrete, and steel design
- Revit and Bluebeam proficiency
- Excellent communication and leadership potential
What You'll Gain
- Faster career trajectory than most firms in the Dallas area
- Broad project exposure ideal for long-term professional growth
- Direct access to highly experienced senior engineers
- A stable, supportive environment with low turnover
- A long-term opportunity with future leadership potential
