Your Impact:

As an Entry Level Structural Engineering Professional, you will be starting your journey to become an integral member of the design team, counted on to assist in the performance of Structural analysis and design for our projects. You will need strong communication and interpersonal skills as you work closely with your Structural Lead, other Structural Engineers and Designers, and other disciplines. As part of this team, you will perform increasingly complex calculations and analysis as the structural design is developed, and learn to work with our Designers to get the structural requirements communicated on paper and in the model.

In this role, you will be working to develop a solid foundation in the fundamentals of Structural Engineering, gaining experience in multiple subject areas, and are learning how Structural design integrates with and impacts other disciplines. You will be given as much responsibility as you are willing to take, and your opportunities for career growth will be limited only by your own motivation, capabilities, and attitude.

• Take responsibility for managing workload, make and keep commitments, and take full ownership of assigned work:
  • Take complete ownership of your portion of the structural scope, reliably working to meet schedule, budget, and quality requirements
  • You may be given tasks with ill-defined conditions of satisfaction, in which case you will be expected to take the initiative to determine what is needed to meet the project and client needs
  • Recognize when help is needed, reaching out to peers and senior engineers for guidance
• Work in a timely, accurate, and cost-effective manner with strong attention to detail

Here’s What You’ll Need:
