LVI Associates
Lexington, KY Full Time
POSTED ON 4/15/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 5/15/2026

A well‑established structural consulting firm is seeking an experienced Senior Structural Engineer (PE) to join a close‑knit, technically strong team. This firm has a long‑standing reputation as a trusted engineering partner for industrial, distribution, and process facilities, particularly within fast‑track design build environments.

The practice is known for a hands‑on, relationship‑driven approach, creative framing and foundation solutions, and long‑term partnerships with owners and contractors. This is an opportunity for an engineer who wants technical ownership, real project influence, and continued involvement through construction.

The Role

As a Senior Structural Engineer, you will lead and execute structural design for a wide range of industrial and commercial building projects from early concept through construction completion.

You will work directly with owners, contractors, architects, and internal engineers in a collaborative design build setting. This role suits an engineer who enjoys solving practical problems and seeing designs successfully built, not just issued.

Key Responsibilities

* Lead structural design for industrial, distribution, manufacturing, and commercial buildings
* Design and analyze steel framing, foundations, tilt up concrete, and gravity and lateral systems
* Perform and oversee structural calculations in accordance with current building codes
* Coordinate closely with contractors in fast‑paced design build projects
* Participate in Revit based modeling and multidisciplinary coordination
* Review shop drawings and respond to RFIs
* Provide construction phase support including site visits and field coordination
* Support and mentor junior engineers as needed

Required Qualifications

* Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering or Structural Engineering
* Active Professional Engineer (PE) license
* 8 or more years of structural engineering experience
* Strong background in industrial or commercial building design
* Solid understanding of steel and concrete systems and foundation design
* Experience working in design build or contractor‑led delivery environments
* Clear communication skills with both technical teams and non‑technical stakeholders

Preferred Qualifications

* Master's degree in Civil Engineering or Structural Engineering
* Structural Engineer (SE) license
* Experience with tilt up concrete construction
* Proficiency in Revit based workflows
* Prior construction phase and field support experience

Why This Opportunity

* High level of technical ownership and project visibility
* Long‑term client relationships and repeat industrial work
* Hands‑on involvement through construction, not isolated design tasks
* Stable firm with decades of respected industry presence
* Collaborative team where experience and judgment are valued

Location and Work Environment

* Lexington, Kentucky
* Hybrid flexibility considered for the right candidate
* Occasional site visits as part of construction coordination
