Sr. Structural Engineer

Specializing in high-tech facility design, SSOE provides design and engineering services for a wide variety of clients. Our diversity and breadth of highly skilled and knowledgeable professionals work across industries and integrate into a cross-disciplinary team that provides better understanding of total client systems than the traditional arrangement of specialized, siloed disciplines. A key differentiator of our team is our ability to conceptualize, plan, and detail all aspects of design, as well as coordination with various in-house disciplines within the organization to collaborate, optimize, and improve work and staff sharing by participating in multi-discipline strategy sessions. We use cutting-edge techniques and software to bring industry leading technology and creative solutions to our clients from day one.

We are currently seeking a highly skilled Senior Structural Engineer to join our dynamic team.
