Senior Structural Engineer (Buildings)

About the Role

The engineer will determine methods for collecting, compiling, and analyzing data from physical work sites, surveys, blueprints, GIS, subsurface utilities, maps, hydrologic and geotechnical sources. Responsibilities include performing professional structural engineering work, developing construction plans, specifications, cost estimates, safety and phasing plans, and coordinating with owners, sub‑consultants, and other disciplines. Additional duties encompass quality‑control, structural analysis, preparation of detailed reports and narratives, administration of construction processes such as reviewing RFIs and submittals, and coordination with architects, construction managers, and trades. The role also includes providing guidance and training to entry‑level engineers, preparing health and safety plans, and interacting professionally with regulatory agencies and clients. • Conduct structural analysis and develop designs for buildings, bridges, and other load‑bearing elements. • Collect, compile, and analyze site data, surveys, GIS, geotechnical and hydrologic information. • Prepare construction plans, specifications, cost estimates, and safety/phasing plans. • Produce 2D/3D drawings, visualizations, reports, and technical presentations. • Coordinate with architects, contractors, sub‑consultants, and regulatory agencies. • Lead and mentor junior engineers, providing training and technical guidance. • Manage small‑ to mid‑size projects, tracking hours, expenses, and QA/QC compliance. • Ensure compliance with codes, standards, and sustainability practices. • Maintain quality‑control procedures and perform statistical analysis of measurements. • Develop and implement site Health and Safety Plans (HASPs) and uphold safety policies.
