Own the technical setup for every new project (load path strategy, design approach, delegation strategy).

Provide design direction to junior engineers and drafters.

Manage QA and final deliverables — catch issues before they hit the city.

Team Leadership:

Be the go-to for structural questions, mentoring EITs and empowering fast decisions.

Refine templates, workflows, and processes to reduce rework and speed up delivery.

Automation (Optional but Valued): Excel scripting, Python, Airtable, Notion AI, ChatGPT Pro

📜 Minimum Qualifications:

PE license required (multi-state or open to reciprocity strongly preferred).

6–15 years in structural engineering (buildings-focused, not bridges or towers).

Strong grasp of IBC, ASCE 7, NDS, ACI, AISC (2018–2024 codes).

Prior experience leading design teams or training junior engineers.

Able to give clear, confident design answers quickly — not after 3 days of re-analysis.

Comfortable delegating, reviewing, and trusting others’ work — without micromanaging.

You are comfortable and confident talking to real people - both clients and team members.

You need a PM to spoon-feed tasks and deadlines.

You’re more comfortable over-designing than defending simplicity.

You don’t want to mentor, train, or lead others.

You want to stay “deep in the weeds” on projects rather than lead from above.

You’re intimidated by ChatGPT or tech automation tools.
