Principal Engineer - Structural

WHAT YOU'LL DO:

• Provide technical leadership for structural analysis and design of foundations (driven piles, screw and helical piles, and cast-in-place concrete), overhead steel structures, building envelopes, and non-building structures on the most complex projects.

• Establish and govern code and standard approaches — ASCE 7, IBC, NESC, ASCE 113, IEEE 693, and NFPA — as the technical authority.

• Set and drive adherence to applicable Client, EPC, Owner, and Utility standards across the discipline.

• Provide senior oversight of specifications and contract requirements with project managers and client representatives from early design through construction, resolving complex constructability issues with construction teams.

• Serve as the structural subject-matter expert, providing technical leadership and direction across projects and teams.

• Champion effective use of engineering software (Excel, RISA, LPILE, and Trimble products) and design automation (VBA and Python) across the discipline.

• Mentor and develop engineers and designers, and lead design and quality (OE) reviews.

• Develop structural design standards, details, and processes, driving continuous improvement and innovation.

• Support business development, client technical relationships, and proposals as a senior technical authority.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:

• A bachelor's degree in structural or civil engineering from an ABET-accredited program; a master's degree is preferred.

• 12+ years of structural engineering experience with recognized technical depth. Professional Engineer (PE) required; SE preferred.

• Expert command of structural analysis and design and the applicable codes and standards.

• Demonstrated experience as a technical authority — setting standards, leading reviews, and resolving the most complex design and constructability challenges.

• Proficiency with structural and foundation software (RISA, LPILE), Trimble products, Excel, and design automation (VBA/Python).

• Recognized technical leadership, mentoring ability, and strong communication.
