Contract opportunity | Illinois and Wisconsin projects
Location and working arrangements to be agreed

Take ownership of varied structural projects, from initial concept through to construction.

Our client, a multidisciplinary engineering consultancy, is seeking an experienced Structural Engineer for an initial contract engagement supporting projects in Illinois and Wisconsin.

You'll combine hands-on structural design with technical coordination and construction support across industrial facilities, buildings and infrastructure. There may also be opportunities to support Canadian projects where your experience and professional registrations align.

The engagement could develop into a permanent position as project demand grows.

The role

Working closely with project managers, engineers and designers, you'll develop safe, practical and economical structural solutions. Your responsibilities will include:

• Designing steel and concrete structures, foundations, equipment supports and modifications to existing facilities.
• Preparing structural analyses, calculations, design criteria, specifications and engineering reports.
• Authenticating engineering deliverables within your professional authority and assigned scope.
• Reviewing drawings and models for accuracy, constructability and consistency with design intent.
• Coordinating structural requirements with civil, geotechnical, mechanical, electrical and other disciplines.
• Guiding junior engineers and structural designers.
• Supporting site reviews, responding to construction queries and assessing proposed field changes.
• Managing assigned deliverables, communicating progress and identifying technical risks early.

What you'll bring

• An active Illinois Structural Engineer (SE) license and appropriate Wisconsin professional engineering licensure for the proposed scope.
• A bachelor's degree in Civil or Structural Engineering.
• At least five years of progressive structural engineering experience in industrial facilities, buildings or infrastructure.
• Strong experience designing steel and concrete structures and foundations.
• Proficiency with structural analysis software such as SAP2000, ETABS or S-Frame.
• Confidence reviewing and marking up AutoCAD or Revit drawings and models.
• Sound engineering judgment, clear communication and the ability to work independently within a multidisciplinary team.
• A valid driver's license and availability for project-related travel as required.

Familiarity with Canadian structural codes and standards would be an advantage. Please identify any Canadian professional registrations you hold.
