Job description
$130,000–$160,000+
Relocation Assistance Available
We are partnering with a growing structural engineering and consulting firm seeking an experienced Senior Structural Engineer / Project Lead to join its team in the South Bend area.
This is not a traditional, repetitive structural design position. The firm takes on technically challenging and often non-standard projects involving new construction, existing structures, retrofits, alternative materials, structural assessments, and specialized engineering problems that may fall outside typical prescriptive codes and standards.
What You'll Do
Lead structural engineering projects from initial proposal through design and completion
Take technical ownership of projects and sign/seal engineering work
Perform structural analysis and design across steel, concrete, masonry, wood, composites, and alternative materials
Work on both new construction and challenging retrofit/existing-building projects
Manage approximately 6–10 active projects with varying scopes and complexity
Coordinate directly with clients and gradually take ownership of key client relationships
Mentor and provide technical direction to junior engineers
Review calculations, drawings, reports, and technical deliverables
Help solve unusual structural problems that may require engineering judgment beyond standard code-based solutions
Participate in technical reports, proposals, research, standards/code development, and other R&D-oriented initiatives based on interest
Identify opportunities to improve engineering processes, tools, and technical approaches
What We're Looking For
6+ years of structural engineering/design experience
Active Professional Engineer (PE) license required
Strong background in structural analysis and design
Experience independently leading structural projects
Ability and willingness to sign and seal engineering work
Experience taking projects from proposal/design through completion
Ability to communicate directly with clients and other project stakeholders
Experience mentoring or providing technical guidance to junior engineers
Strong understanding of structural behavior rather than dependence on a specific software platform
Comfortable working across multiple materials, structural systems, and project types
Strong Plus
10–15+ years of structural engineering experience
NCEES Record
Master's degree or PhD in Structural or Civil Engineering
Existing-building or historical retrofit experience
FRP, composites, or alternative-material experience
Experience with unusual or non-standard structural systems
Research, testing, standards/code development, or technical writing experience
Technology
The team currently utilizes tools including SAP2000, RAM, and proprietary engineering software, but specific software experience is not a requirement. The firm values engineers who understand structural behavior and can adapt to the right tool for the problem.
Schedule & Flexibility
The preferred candidate will initially work from the Mishawaka / South Bend area office to develop strong relationships with the engineering team.
Hybrid flexibility may become available once established. For an exceptional senior-level candidate, fully remote arrangements may also be considered, provided the individual can work primarily Eastern Time hours and maintain appropriate PE licensure.
The team generally works approximately 40 hours per week and offers every other Friday off, creating regular three- and four-day weekends throughout the year.
