- Preparing structural steel, concrete, and timber design calculations and analysis under the direction of a senior engineer.
- Assisting with structural and technical assessments and reports.
- Preparing drawings, sketches, and markups to support project deliverables.
- Attending site visits, inspections, and assessments alongside senior staff.
- Supporting senior engineers and project managers with day-to-day project coordination.
Qualifications & experience needed
- A working understanding of structural engineering principles and an interest in applying them across steel, reinforced concrete, and timber.
- Exposure to structural analysis software (e.g. Risa, SAP2000) through coursework or work experience.
- Detail oriented with the ability to focus on technical problems for extended periods.
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment with projects of varying size and complexity.

- Must be a team player and have the ability to multi-task, work under pressure and meet deadlines.
Standout experience that we would like to see
- Experience with AutoCAD or Revit.
- Exposure to FEA (Finite Element Analysis) and/or dynamic analysis.
- Co-op, internship, or summer experience with a consulting engineering firm.
- Field or construction experience of any kind.
