Senior Structural Project Manager
An established structural engineering consulting firm with a strong regional presence is seeking a Senior Structural Project Manager to join its growing practice. Known for delivering high‑quality, practical engineering solutions, the firm has built longstanding client relationships across commercial, industrial, and public-sector markets through technical excellence, responsiveness, and integrity.
This opportunity is ideal for an experienced, licensed structural engineer who enjoys leading projects, mentoring teams, and serving as a trusted technical and client advisor. The firm offers a collaborative, people‑first culture where senior engineers are empowered to make an impact and play a key role in the continued growth of the practice.
About the Firm
With decades of experience in structural engineering, the firm has earned a reputation for thoughtful design, reliability, and strong client partnerships. Leadership remains actively involved in projects and prioritizes maintaining a supportive, team‑oriented environment over rapid or impersonal growth.
Key cultural pillars include:
- Collaboration & Accessibility - Engineers work closely with one another and have direct access to firm leadership.
- Technical Integrity - High standards, sound judgment, and constructible solutions are central to every project.
- People‑First Mindset - Professional development, mentorship, and work‑life balance are actively supported.
- Long‑Term Relationships - Both clients and employees tend to stay with the firm for the long haul.
The Role
The Senior Structural Project Manager will lead and oversee a diverse portfolio of structural engineering projects from concept through construction. This role combines technical leadership, project management, and client engagement, offering meaningful autonomy and influence within the firm.
Typical project work may include:
- Commercial and institutional buildings
- Industrial and utility‑related structures
- Renovations, evaluations, and retrofit projects
- Structures requiring advanced analysis or phased construction coordination
This is a full‑time, in‑office leadership role, working closely with principals, project teams, and external stakeholders.
Key Responsibilities
- Serve as Project Manager and Engineer of Record on structural engineering projects
- Lead project planning, scheduling, budgeting, and execution
- Perform and oversee structural analysis and design for steel, concrete, masonry, and wood systems
- Review and approve calculations, drawings, and specifications
- Coordinate with architects, owners, contractors, and other design disciplines
- Mentor and provide technical guidance to junior engineers and designers
- Conduct site visits, field observations, and constructability reviews
- Support business development efforts including proposals and client presentations
- Uphold quality control standards and ensure compliance with applicable codes and regulations
Required Qualifications
- B.S. or M.S. in Civil or Structural Engineering from an accredited institution
- Professional Engineer (PE) license required
- 5+ years of structural engineering experience, including project management responsibility
- Experience leading projects and interfacing directly with clients
- Strong background in steel and concrete design (exposure to industrial or complex projects a plus)
- Proficiency with structural analysis and design software (e.g., RISA, RAM, STAAD, Enercalc)
- Familiarity with AutoCAD and/or Revit
- Excellent communication, leadership, and organizational skills
- Ability to manage multiple projects while maintaining technical quality and deadlines
Compensation & Benefits
The firm offers a competitive compensation package commensurate with experience, including:
- Competitive base salary
- Performance‑based bonuses
- Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance
- Paid Time Off (PTO) and paid holidays
- 401(k) retirement plan with employer contribution
- Long‑term career stability and growth opportunities
- Supportive leadership and a respectful, collaborative work environment
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Leadership Role - Influence projects, mentor engineers, and play a key role in firm growth
- Stability & Reputation - A well‑established firm with trusted, repeat clients
- Meaningful Work - Projects that require sound judgment and experienced engineering insight
- Culture That Values Experience - Senior engineers are heard, respected, and relied upon
- Long‑Term Perspective - A place to build the next chapter of your career, not just your next job
