Project Engineer
A growing structural engineering firm with multiple Southern California offices is looking for a Project Engineer to join a fast paced, collaborative team. This role offers a strong mix of design responsibilities, field work, and client interaction, making it a great opportunity for someone who enjoys variety and wants to grow into a leadership position.
About the Role
You will work on a wide range of building projects while taking on both office and field responsibilities. Expect to contribute to design, coordinate with architects and contractors, support project management efforts, and conduct structural observations. You will be trusted with meaningful responsibility and will have the chance to manage projects as your experience grows.
What You Will Do
- Prepare structural calculations, sketches, and coordinate drawings with drafting staff
- Support construction administration tasks, including responding to RFIs and performing site visits
- Interact directly with clients and consultants on project issues
- Supervise and coordinate with junior engineers and drafters
- Maintain technical accuracy and quality control for assigned work
- Serve as Project Manager on select assignments and report to the Principal in Charge
- Collaborate closely with Project Managers on schedule, budget, and deliverables
What You Bring
- Active Professional Engineer license
- Strong technical foundation in structural engineering
- Ability to balance design, field work, and client communication
- Clear communication skills and a collaborative mindset
- Ability to manage multiple tasks and help guide junior team members
- Desire to grow into a larger role with increased responsibility
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
You will join a firm that is expanding across multiple offices and offers a supportive environment where engineers can grow quickly. You will work on a steady flow of interesting projects, get hands on field experience, and have access to leadership that encourages professional development. This is a great fit for someone who wants autonomy, variety, and a long term home where they can advance.
If this sounds like the right next step for you, do not hesitate to apply.
