Senior Structural Engineer


Location: REMOTE near a major International Airport (U.S.) – Must be Willing to Travel up to 50-60% of the Time


  • Salary Range: $110,000–$130,000 Potential salary increase for candidates based in specific higher-cost locations (e.g., Chicago +$10k, NYC +$20k, DC +$15k).



Reporting To: Senior Engineering Leadership


Our client, a national leader in structural preservation, is expanding its specialized engineering team—and needs a high-mobility Structure Engineer to inspect, diagnose, and repair complex parking structures across the U.S.

You’ll use cutting-edge inspection tech (like smart glasses for live technical guidance, GPR, and imaging tools) to lead rapid-response structural assessments.

This isn’t a desk job—and it’s not for everyone. The Sr Structural Engineer responds to high-priority projects across different states, performing on-site inspections, diagnosing concrete and structural issues, and recommending long-term repair or preservation strategies. Think of it as structural engineering meets field ops.
