Structural Engineer (Entry‑Level)

Launch Your Engineering Career with a Top‑Tier Firm

This is an outstanding entry‑level opportunity for a motivated Structural Engineer looking to start their career with a highly respected and growing engineering firm. You’ll work on real, impactful engineering projects from day one, alongside experienced structural engineers who are deeply invested in mentoring and developing early‑career talent.

In this role, you’ll support the design and analysis of structural systems for buildings and infrastructure, contributing to calculations, modeling, and construction documents while gaining exposure to complex, meaningful work. If you are eager to learn, grow, and build a long‑term career in structural engineering, this is an exceptional place to do it.


What You’ll Do

  • Support the design and analysis of structural systems for buildings and infrastructure projects
  • Assist with preparing engineering calculations, structural models, and construction documents
  • Work closely with senior engineers to gain hands‑on experience and technical mentorship
  • Contribute to the design of concrete and steel structures
  • Support foundation and infrastructure‑related engineering efforts
  • Learn industry best practices while building a strong technical foundation

What We’re Looking For

  • Bachelor’s degree in Structural or Civil Engineering from an ABET‑accredited program
  • Coursework in structural, concrete, and steel design
  • Proficiency in AutoCAD
  • Strong interest in structural analysis and design
  • Internship experience is highly desirable but not required
  • 0–1 year of professional experience
  • A motivated, curious mindset and eagerness to learn

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Excellent firm reputation with a strong commitment to developing early‑career engineers
  • Work on meaningful, high‑impact engineering projects, including complex design and modification work
  • Structured mentorship, training, and clear development paths
  • Exposure to multiple career tracks and long‑term growth opportunities
  • Collaborative, knowledge‑sharing culture with top technical experts
  • Visible ownership of your work and real client impact

Work Environment & Flexibility

This role supports safe, sustainable, zero‑emission nuclear energy through real engineering work that matters. You’ll be part of a collaborative, supportive team that values learning, quality, and technical excellence.

The firm offers flexibility, including hybrid and work‑from‑home structures for many roles, while maintaining a strong collaborative office presence. Candidates should be able to work from either the Chicago suburbs or Atlanta office, depending on assignment.
