You’re not interested in “typical” projects. You want complex, ground-breaking buildings in the US and around the world – and the freedom to push structural design further.
In this Senior Structural Engineer role, you’ll take the lead on gravity and lateral systems for innovative steel, concrete, and mass timber structures, collaborating closely with a multi-discipline team.
You’ll own detailed design, drive project delivery, and mentor others – while working with performance-based seismic design, advanced analysis tools, and BIM.
If you’re a creative structural engineer with strong communication skills and a passion for sustainability, we want to talk to you.
What You'll Be Doing
- Prepare and verify detailed structural engineering designs, drawings, documents, and specifications
- Lead detailed engineering design for gravity and lateral systems of building structures
- Analyze and design structural systems in steel, concrete, and mass timber using US building codes
- Create 3D structural analysis models using commercial software such as RAM, SAP, ETABS, and SAFE
- Review project work and deliverables to ensure high quality and alignment with project schedules
- Manage project development and deliverables in collaboration with the wider team
- Set up, manage, and review job and project administrative systems, including planning and monitoring resourcing and expenditure
- Collaborate in a multi-discipline environment with other design disciplines
- Guide and help develop less experienced team members to achieve project and team goals
- Attend and participate in client and design team meetings under the guidance of project leadership
- Apply and deepen expertise in seismic design and performance-based approaches
- Incorporate sustainability and reduced environmental impact into structural solutions
What We're Looking For
- 5+ years of structural building engineering design experience
- Relevant master’s degree in Engineering
- Professional Engineer (P.E.) license; Structural Engineer (S.E.) is a plus
- Thorough knowledge of US Building Codes and Professional Standards with expertise in seismic design
- Broad structural design background from a wide range of building projects
- Experience designing steel, concrete, and mass timber building structures
- Good working experience with BIM tools such as REVIT
- Passion for sustainability and reducing environmental impact on projects
- Confident, proactive character with ability to take on significant responsibility in a team-based organization and work independently
- Experience with or willingness to learn computation design methods using Rhino and Grasshopper
The Experience That Will Really Get Our Attention
You’ve been the go-to structural engineer on challenging building projects, where seismic performance, innovative materials, and architectural ambition all had to coexist. You know how to translate a bold concept into a robust, buildable structural system.
You’re comfortable in 3D analysis environments, live inside BIM, and you’re excited by performance-based seismic design and devices like base isolation and dampers. Sustainability isn’t a buzzword to you – it’s a design driver.
Why This Opportunity?
Work on a portfolio of truly ground-breaking projects – not just locally, but across the US and globally – and see your designs become part of the built environment people recognize.
Join a collaborative, multi-discipline environment where communication, curiosity, and inclusive thinking are core to how projects get delivered.
Access wide-ranging learning and development opportunities, a generous benefits package, annual discretionary bonus potential, PTO and paid holidays, 401k with company match, hybrid working (minimum 3 days/week in office), summer hours, and reimbursement for certain professional licenses, renewals, and exam fees.
Be part of a diverse, equity-focused culture with active employee forums and resource groups where your voice and perspective matter.
Hybrid role with a minimum of 3 days per week in the Boston office.
