Structural Engineer

ZS Architectural Engineering
Milwaukee, WI Full Time
POSTED ON 7/30/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 8/28/2026

ZS Architectural Engineering is seeking a licensed Structural Engineer (PE) to join our growing team. This opportunity is ideal for an engineer who enjoys hands-on technical work, wants exposure to a wide variety of structural projects, and is looking for a long-term growth path into senior engineering, client management, and future leadership opportunities.


Unlike firms where engineers spend years working on the same type of project, our team works across new construction, renovations, existing building investigations, construction engineering, specialty structural services, inspections, digital modeling technologies, and building lifecycle projects.


If you're looking for a role where you'll continue growing as an engineer while working on challenging and diverse projects, we'd love to speak with you.


What You'll Do

  • Perform structural analysis and design for new and existing buildings
  • Prepare structural calculations, drawings, specifications, and technical reports
  • Review and stamp engineering documents as required
  • Participate in building assessments, inspections, and field investigations
  • Support renovation, rehabilitation, and addition projects
  • Perform quality control and quality assurance reviews
  • Collaborate with architects, contractors, owners, and engineering teams
  • Participate in site visits and project meetings
  • Work across projects from initial concept through construction completion


What We're Looking For

Requirements

  • Active Professional Engineer (PE) license
  • 6-10 years of structural engineering experience
  • Experience designing building structures
  • Strong technical engineering and problem-solving skills
  • Ability to independently perform structural design work


Preferred

  • Structural Engineer (SE) license
  • Experience with renovations, additions, and existing buildings
  • Building inspection or assessment experience
  • Construction engineering / means and methods experience
  • Revit experience
  • AutoCAD experience
  • Experience using structural analysis software such as:
  • RISA
  • RAM Structural System
  • SAP2000
  • Similar structural design platforms


You'll gain exposure to a broader range of project types than many traditional structural engineering firms. Our teams utilize:

  • BIM and digital twin technologies
  • Laser scanning
  • Drone-assisted inspections
  • Advanced building diagnostics
  • Industry-leading structural analysis software


Benefits

  • Medical insurance with substantial employer contribution
  • Employer-paid dental and vision coverage
  • 401(k) with employer match
  • Generous PTO
  • Professional license reimbursement
  • Continuing education support


Our Culture

ZS Architectural Engineering is a boutique engineering firm built around technical excellence, collaboration, and long-term employee growth.


We believe great engineering happens when people have opportunities to learn, work with talented colleagues, and maintain balance outside of work. Our team values mentorship, continuous development, strong client relationships, and a collaborative environment where engineers can build rewarding long-term careers.
