    Build Infrastructure That Makes a Lasting Impact

    Are you an experienced Structural Engineer looking to grow your career with a collaborative and expanding engineering firm? We are seeking a Structural Engineer (PE) to join a growing multidisciplinary engineering team in the Greater New Orleans area.

    This is an exciting opportunity to become part of a highly skilled, collaborative firm that delivers innovative engineering solutions across a diverse portfolio of commercial, industrial, municipal, and public infrastructure projects. Unlike larger organizations where engineers are often limited to one specialty or phase of a project, this role offers the opportunity to contribute throughout the entire project lifecycle, engage directly with clients, and play an active role in helping build long-term client relationships while supporting the firm's continued growth.

    If you're looking to move beyond a highly specialized role and join a collaborative team where you'll gain broad project exposure, work directly with clients, continue growing as an engineer, and contribute to the long-term success of a growing firm, this is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact while building a rewarding career.

    If you're looking for a role where your expertise is valued, your professional growth is encouraged, and your contributions truly make a difference, we'd love to hear from you.

    What You'll Do

    • Perform structural analysis, engineering calculations, and design for commercial, industrial, municipal, and public infrastructure projects.
    • Design structural systems including structural steel, reinforced concrete, masonry, timber, foundations, and framing systems.
    • Prepare and review construction drawings, specifications, engineering reports, technical documents, and cost estimates.
    • Conduct structural assessments, field investigations, and existing-condition evaluations.
    • Review shop drawings, RFIs, and submittals while providing technical support during construction.
    • Coordinate closely with architects, contractors, project managers, clients, and multidisciplinary engineering teams to develop safe, practical, and cost-effective structural solutions.
    • Participate in project planning, client meetings, and multidisciplinary coordination throughout all phases of project delivery while building trusted relationships with clients and project partners.
    • Cultivate and maintain strong relationships with clients, community stakeholders, public agencies, and industry partners to support successful project delivery and long-term partnerships.
    • Participate in business development initiatives, including networking, client outreach, proposal development, presentations, and strategic pursuit efforts that contribute to the continued growth and success of the organization.
    • Mentor and collaborate with team members while contributing to the continued growth of the organization.

    Required Qualifications

    • Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering or Structural Engineering.
    • Active Professional Engineer (PE) license required.
    • Five to seven years of structural engineering experience.
    • Experience designing structural systems for commercial, industrial, municipal, or public infrastructure projects.
    • Strong knowledge of structural engineering principles, applicable building codes, construction methods, and structural design standards.
    • Proficiency with STAAD, Revit, and AutoCAD.
    • Experience managing multiple projects while maintaining exceptional attention to detail.
    • Strong communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills.
    • Experience using engineering or project management software is preferred. Training will be provided on the company's internal systems.

    Why You'll Love This Opportunity

    • Join a growing engineering firm where your contributions have a direct impact on projects and the organization's continued success.
    • Become part of a highly skilled, collaborative team that values mentorship, teamwork, and continuous learning.
    • Work on a diverse range of commercial, industrial, municipal, and public infrastructure projects throughout the Gulf South.
    • Gain exposure to the full project lifecycle—from planning and design through construction support and client interaction.
    • Expand your knowledge through cross-training opportunities and multidisciplinary collaboration.
    • Build meaningful relationships with clients and play an active role in business development and project success.
