Senior Structural Engineer (Industrial)

A well-established and rapidly growing Engineering, Procurement & Construction (EPC) consulting firm is seeking a Senior Structural Engineer to join its Kansas City office.

The firm delivers full-project lifecycle services across industrial manufacturing environments, partnering with clients throughout planning, design, procurement, construction, and commissioning phases. Their portfolio spans a diverse range of sectors including:

• Pulp & Paper
• Chemical Processing
• Consumer Products Manufacturing
• Food & Beverage
• Life Sciences
• Power Generation
• Heavy Industrial Facilities

With continued investment in growth and a strong backlog of work, the company has become a trusted engineering partner to some of North America's leading industrial organizations.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This opportunity offers the chance to join a financially stable and growing business that continues to invest heavily in experienced engineering talent.

Key highlights include:

• Base salary up to $170,000+
• Overtime eligibility
• Guaranteed annual salary reviews
• Hybrid working model with flexibility
• Diverse industrial project portfolio providing long-term stability
• Direct exposure to complex, large-scale industrial projects
• Strong culture built around trust, autonomy, and accountability
• Approximately 8-year average employee tenure
• Consistent company growth, including a 22% increase in revenue last year
• Opportunity to work alongside highly experienced engineers and project leaders

Unlike many firms that remain focused on a single market sector, this organization maintains a highly diversified client base, creating resilience and stability through changing economic conditions.

• Develop and review construction drawings and design packages
• Coordinate with multidisciplinary engineering teams
• Interface directly with clients throughout project execution
• Conduct site visits, inspections, and engineering assessments
• Evaluate geotechnical information and foundation requirements
• Review contractor work to ensure structural integrity and compliance
• Support construction administration and field activities
• Manage multiple projects simultaneously while maintaining quality and schedule objectives
• Mentor junior engineering staff and contribute to technical excellence initiatives
