Job Description

Job Description

This role involves investigative work in the field, office, and lab to determine the root cause of failures mainly related to the building’s skeleton (structural elements) and skin (building envelope). The Forensic Structural Engineer will take a hands-on approach to engineering, working in the field, testing facility and office. Additionally, this role will require the individual to learn new things, conduct technical research, and write engineering reports.

The Forensic Structural Engineer will branch out from typical design work and investigate to determine the cause of failures related to building structures. This role consists of very little to near no design aspects. The focus is on the laws of physics, and the basis of engineering principles, and the correct application of these to the built environment. The role requires the engineer to “go beyond the code” and like it!

  • Complete hands-on failure analysis assignments in the field and testing facility
  • Document facts and report finalization of findings
  • Technical research
  • Ability to apply theories and knowledge to real world situations

  • Convey complex issues in an understandable manner to a lay audience through report writing

  • Detail-oriented
  • Written and verbal communication

  • Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering

  • 10 or more years of engineering design experience
  • 5 years supervisory or project management experience

  • Licensed Professional Engineer
  • Licensed Structural Engineer preferred
  • Valid Driver’s License in good standing, and demonstrated safe driving habits
  • Ability to pass a background check as required for the position
