Structural Project Engineer

Structural Project Managers at Dibble Engineers, Inc. (DEI) are provided opportunities to enhance their management and leadership skills by training and mentoring junior staff. PMs are challenged to strive for their SE licensure, Team Lead and Associate-level positions, and are encouraged to assist in business development, client retention, and company growth initiatives.   

If you are a creative, proactive, and detail-oriented leader with the desire to manage your own projects from beginning to end, further advance client retention and referral strategies, and help grow our business, you could be a great fit for our learning culture. Our team works collaboratively to enhance the structural design and construction process; however, if you also enjoy mentoring and educating junior staff to build confidence in independent research of complicated engineering issues, we will provide you the chance to grow your leadership and people management skills. If you enjoy a good laugh and a fun working environment yet possess excellent technical skills and uncompromising work ethic and quality standards, we would highly value your contributions to our growing team.
