Structural Engineer

If you’re doing building design but not getting full project exposure — this is where that changes.

We’re partnered with a well-established structural engineering firm to hire a Structural Engineer (3–8 years) for their New Jersey office.

This role is ideal for an engineer who’s strong technically and wants more than just calculations — real involvement across design, coordination, and construction, with exposure to complex building structures.

If you’re PE licensed (or close) and have experience with ETABS / RAM on building projects, this is the kind of role that builds you into a complete structural engineer.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Full project involvement
• From concept design through construction support — not siloed work
• Strong building portfolio
• Work across high-rise and mid-rise residential and commercial structures
• Real responsibility early
• Direct communication with contractors, architects, and project teams
• Technical depth + practical exposure
• Combine analysis, design, site inspections, and problem-solving
• Stable pipeline of projects
• Consistent workload across private-sector developments
• Clear progression path
• Opportunity to step into senior and project leadership responsibilities

What You’ll Be Doing

• Perform structural analysis and design for building structures
• Develop 2D and 3D structural models using ETABS / RAM Steel / RAM Elements
• Design across steel, concrete, masonry, and wood structures
• Develop gravity and lateral load calculations (IBC / ASCE standards)
• Prepare construction documents, including framing plans, details, and specifications
• Carry out site inspections to review contractor work and ensure compliance
• Respond to RFIs, resolve field issues, and support construction activities
• Coordinate directly with contractors, architects, and internal teams
• Prepare project reports, schedules, and technical documentation

What They’re Looking For

• B.S. in Civil or Structural Engineering
• 3–8 years of structural engineering experience
• PE licensed (preferred) or actively working towards it
• Experience working on building structures (high-rise preferred)
• Proficiency with ETABS, RAM Steel, and RAM Elements
• Strong AutoCAD skills (Revit a plus)
• Solid understanding of IBC and ASCE design standards
• Strong technical foundation in structural analysis and design
• Confident communicator who can engage with clients and contractors

If you’re at the stage where you want to step beyond pure design and become a well-rounded, project-focused engineer, this is worth a conversation.
