What are the responsibilities and job description for the Engineer II — Structural Engineer position at Ryan Engineering?
About Ryan Engineering
We're a structural engineering firm based in Northwest Arkansas with offices in Siloam Springs and Fayetteville. Our work spans industrial, municipal, commercial, and specialty projects — some local, some across the country. We're a smaller firm, which means you won't disappear into a department. You'll work directly with experienced engineers, your name goes on real work, and when something comes up on a project, you'll have people around you to work through it with.
This position is based out of our Fayetteville office.
We take our work seriously and we take care of our clients. That means returning calls, hitting deadlines, and being honest when problems come up.
What You'll Do
You'll be running your own projects — the routine ones start to finish, and real chunks of the bigger, more complex ones. When something doesn't line up between disciplines, you're the one who catches it and works out a practical way through. Reviews happen at the key design stages and before anything goes out the door, and that review gets lighter as you show what you can do. You'll also start showing our Engineer I's the ropes.
What We're Looking For
You've got some projects under your belt and you're ready to run with more. Specifically:
• 3–8 years of structural engineering experience
• AR PE license required, or the ability to obtain one within 2 months of hire
• SE license preferred but not required
• Comfortable running routine projects
• Good at spotting problems between disciplines before they become everyone's problem
If you like owning your work and want more responsibility without losing the technical side of the job, you'll fit in here.
Compensation & Benefits
• $84,000–$108,150 depending on experience
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• SIMPLE IRA
• PTO and paid holidays
• Bonuses and profit sharing
• Support for your SE licensure and professional development
• Life and disability insurance
