About the Role

This new role provides technical and mentoring leadership for a growing team of structural engineers focused on retail tenant improvements and existing-building modifications nationwide.

  • Lead performance coaching and career development for direct reports.
  • Balance a high volume of smaller, quick-turnaround projects while maintaining technical quality and consistency across programs.
  • Bring practical, creative problem-solving to existing-structure challenges rather than defaulting to overly conservative solutions.

  • 10+ years of structural engineering experience.
  • Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering or Structural Engineering.
  • Experience with retail tenant improvements and existing-building modifications.
