Structural Engineer (0-5 Yrs Exp) - Waterfront Structures

Start your career building what matters—structures that stand the test of time and the elements.

Are you a recent civil engineering graduate or early-career structural engineer looking to launch your career with purpose? Do you want to work on unique and high-impact waterfront projects you can visit, use, and be proud of? At PND Engineers, we’re looking for curious, motivated engineers to join our Seattle office and grow with us. You’ll gain hands-on experience, expert mentorship, and real responsibility from day one.

What You’ll Do

As a Structural Engineer (EIT), you’ll work closely with experienced engineers and learn how to:

• Analyze structural loads and perform engineering calculations.
• Design waterfront and industrial structures such as:
  • Gangways and trestles
  • Marine terminals
  • Harbors, marinas, and breakwaters
  • Mooring and berthing structures
  • Piers, wharves, and bulkheads
  • Infrastructure for the energy and aerospace industries
  • Vehicle and pedestrian bridges
• Develop construction drawings in AutoCAD.
• Conduct site visits, assist with condition assessments, and help prepare detailed technical reports.
• Collaborate with civil, geotechnical, surveying, and permitting teams to broaden your technical knowledge and cross-discipline experience.

What We’re Looking For

This role is ideal for engineers who are just getting started in their careers. Here’s what you need to succeed:

• A BS in Civil Engineering (with structural emphasis) from an ABET-accredited program.
• Passed the FE exam, or plan to take it within 6 months.
• Familiarity with tools like RISA 3D, SAP2000, or AutoCAD is a plus—but not a requirement. We’ll help you learn.
• Some exposure to geotechnical engineering is helpful and considered a plus.
• A collaborative spirit and willingness to learn from experienced mentors.
• Basic understanding of structural principles and interest in design codes, materials, and industry standards.
• Strong communication skills—especially technical writing.
• A desire to grow, take initiative, and contribute to project success.
• Willingness to occasionally travel for fieldwork.
• Valid U.S. driver’s license and authorization to work in the U.S. without employer sponsorship.
