Job Description

As an Entry-Level Structural Engineer, you will join a small but growing team (currently three engineers) working on a wide range of industrial projects. You'll gain hands-on experience in structural design, analysis, and 3D modeling while receiving strong mentorship and training. This role is ideal for a motivated engineer with strong academic performance and a desire to learn. This organization is a well-established industrial engineering and construction firm with more than 40 years of experience delivering complex projects across airports, parcel/postal systems, food & beverage, automotive, and heavy industrial sectors. The structural engineering team is expanding, and the company is seeking an entry-level Structural Engineer to support continued growth and innovation in industrial systems.

Responsibilities

Perform structural analysis and modeling using tools such as Revit, AutoCAD, STAAD Pro, SAP2000, and RISA 3D (training provided as needed).

Assist sr. engineers throughout all phases of project execution, from concept through completion.

Ensure compliance with safety, quality, and performance standards.

BS in Civil Engineering with a structural emphasis, or MS in Structural Engineering.

Coursework in steel design and structural analysis required.

Experience or exposure to 3D modeling and structural analysis software preferred (Revit, AutoCAD, STAAD Pro, SAP2000, RISA 3D), but training will be provided.

EIT certification preferred.

Excellent communication skills, teamwork, and leadership potential.

Strong problem-solving abilities and eagerness to learn.

Brand-new facility with high-quality equipment.

Performance-based raises and clear career advancement opportunities.

Laid-back, collaborative culture.

Extensive training and mentorship to help bridge any skill gaps.

Join a growing Structural Team in a brand-new facility near the airport, specializing in conveyor system design and manufacturing. Enjoy a laid-back culture with a casual dress code, including jeans and tennis shoes. The work environment is collaborative and supportive, focused on performance-based raises and ongoing training. The facility offers incredible views, and the team values a good cultural fit and a willingness to learn. Expect a stable workload with opportunities for professional growth and development, including exposure to national projects.
