Job description
Structural Engineer – Forensic & Building Investigations
Location: Annapolis, MD | Hybrid + Field Travel
Salary: Up to $130K Base
We’re hiring a Civil/Structural Engineer to join a small, highly technical engineering firm specializing in structural investigations, property damage, and forensic engineering. Prior forensic experience is NOT required, this is a great opportunity for a strong structural engineer who enjoys figuring out why something failed rather than spending every day behind a desk designing it.
What You’ll Do
Inspect residential and commercial properties to evaluate structural damage and building conditions
Investigate the origin and cause of damage or structural failures
Evaluate roofing, framing, siding, windows, building envelopes, and other structural components
Determine appropriate repair scope, constructability considerations, and potential code upgrades
Perform engineering analysis and document findings through detailed technical reports
Manage assigned cases from initial inspection through final report
Provide objective engineering conclusions and confidently explain/defend your findings
Travel throughout the region for field inspections
What We’re Looking For
3–5+ years of Civil or Structural Engineering experience
Bachelor’s degree in Civil, Structural, Architectural Engineering, or related engineering discipline
EIT/FE or progress toward PE; PE licensure will ultimately be required
Strong structural fundamentals and analytical/problem-solving skills
Strong technical writing and communication skills
Comfortable working independently and spending time in the field
Construction, residential, roofing, building-envelope, inspection, or failure-analysis experience is a plus
No forensic engineering background required, training will be provided
Why Consider It?
You’ll work directly with senior engineers and ownership in a small, non-corporate environment where technical quality matters more than cranking out volume. New engineers receive hands-on training and shadowing before managing cases independently, with opportunities to develop expertise in forensic investigations, property loss, and expert-witness work.
