Responsibilities include

• 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.
• Strong computer skills and proficiency in Microsoft Office.
• Must have a can-do attitude and be a true self starter, willing to dig deep to find solutions.

• 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.
