Structural Project Engineer

Not every structural engineering role gives you the opportunity to work directly alongside architects, interior designers, civil engineers, landscape architects, and MEP engineers under one roof.

We're looking for a Structural Project Engineer who wants to be involved in the entire project lifecycle, from early concepts and client discussions through construction and project completion. This is an opportunity to work on a diverse mix of projects throughout the Pacific Northwest while continuing to grow both technically and professionally.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Develop structural designs from conceptual planning through construction
  • Perform gravity and lateral analysis for a variety of project types
  • Coordinate directly with architects and multidisciplinary design teams
  • Prepare structural calculations, reports, specifications, and construction documents
  • Participate in site visits and construction-phase services
  • Manage your own projects and help guide junior staff as needed
  • Contribute to creative, practical solutions that support both design goals and project budgets

What We're Looking For

  • Bachelor's Degree in Civil or Structural Engineering
  • PE license required
  • 4-6 years of structural engineering experience
  • Strong understanding of steel, concrete, wood, and masonry design
  • Working knowledge of ASCE 7, AISC, ACI, and related design standards
  • Experience coordinating and assembling construction document packages
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills
  • Someone who enjoys working directly with people, not just behind a calculation package

Nice to Have

  • Master's Degree in Structural Engineering
  • Experience with manufacturing, industrial, or semiconductor facilities
  • Strong steel design background
  • Experience collaborating directly with clients and contractors

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

You'll be joining a team where structural engineers are involved in the conversation early and often. The work is collaborative, the projects are diverse, and you'll have the opportunity to build relationships across disciplines rather than operating in a silo.

If you're looking for a role where you can take ownership of projects, continue developing your technical expertise, and work alongside a talented multidisciplinary team, this is the type of opportunity that doesn't come around every day.

Hybrid Schedule: In-office Tuesday through Thursday with the option to work remotely on Mondays and Fridays.

  • Paid Parental Leave
