Quick Recruiter Reference

Entry-level to early-career Structural Engineer role focused on repair, renovation, inspections, field investigations, analysis, and structural rehabilitation. Best fit is someone with a structural engineering degree who is comfortable with both design work and job-site/field work. This is separate from the pure Structural Design Engineer role because this one requires existing building/repair interest and physical field inspection comfort.
