DescriptionIn this position, you will provide comprehensive structural forensic and design engineering services across commercial facilities, multi-story educational buildings (such as 4-story schools), retail spaces, and specialized forensic investigations. You will often be called to assess damaged structures in complex environments such as post-fire scenes, vehicular impacts, structural failures, and designated "unsafe zones" to conduct investigations, determine structural integrity, and engineer practical remediation solutions.
Annual Base Salary: $98,000 - $115,000
Additional benefits include medical plans, dental, vision, employee life insurance, 401(k), Flexible Spending Accounts, paid time off, paid holidays and tuition reimbursement.
RequirementsResponsibilities- Field Forensic Investigations & Disaster Response: Conduct on-site forensic evaluations in damaged buildings, including assessments following fires, vehicular impacts, collapses, or other structural distress within active or "unsafe zones".
- Structural Analysis & Design: Perform structural calculations and design framing systems and foundations using common structural analysis and engineering modeling software.
- Multi-Material Design: Engineer and detail solutions across a broad range of building materials, including structural steel, reinforced concrete, masonry/CMU, and wood framing (post-tensioned concrete experience is a plus).
- Contract Documents & BIM Coordination: Prepare, coordinate, and integrate structural design into contract documents; extract critical design information from architectural BIM models (Revit) and perform basic Revit drafting.
- Code Compliance & Safety: Verify that all analytical models, repair recommendations, and designs strictly adhere to relevant safety standards and local/national building codes.
- Construction Administration & Site Review: Review drawings, process submittals, and conduct job site visits to observe remediation and construction progress.
- Interdisciplinary & Client Coordination: Collaborate directly with structural project managers, multi-discipline teams, municipal reviewers, and clients to clearly communicate complex engineering findings.
Qualifications- Experience: 5+ years of professional experience in structural building design, structural analysis, and/or forensics.
- Education: Bachelor of Science degree in Civil, Structural, or Architectural Engineering is required; a master's degree in Structural Engineering is preferred.
- Licensure: Licensed Professional Engineer (PE) in the state of Oklahoma or the immediate ability to obtain licensure by comity.
- Technical Skills: Proven experience designing with structural steel, reinforced concrete, masonry, and wood. Proficient use of structural analysis software and basic familiarity with Revit drafting and BIM navigation.
- Disaster / Forensic Expertise: Demonstrated background or strong interest in collapse investigations, disaster response, and forensic failure analysis.
- Certifications (Preferred / Plus): Possession of relevant specialized credentials, including SE, CWI, IIBEC certifications (RRO, RRC), or ICC inspector certifications.
- Professional Attributes: High attention to detail, strong technical writing, responsible engineering judgment, and the flexibility to adapt to changing site conditions. Backgrounds in athletics or military service are considered a strong cultural plus.
