We are currently looking for a Structural Designer/Engineer in training. This individual is to be an integral part of our design team and work closely with the Structural Engineers to analyze and produce construction documents for a variety of building types.

Structural design development drawings are then produced to provide a clear understanding of the structural scope of work, so that an accurate construction budget can be determined. Once the design development documents are approved, the final construction documents can proceed with clear direction and confidence that the project provides for the Owner’s needs and will remain on budget.
