🏗 You'll Love This Role
As our Sr. Structural Design Engineer, you'll own the engineering of complex structural systems - from temporary event pavilions to permanent installations - for some of the most high-profile events on the planet. You'll work across the full project lifecycle, seal your own calculations and drawings, and see your designs physically built in the field. If you're a licensed PE who wants more than a desk job and enjoys the challenge of practical, real-world engineering, this is a role you can genuinely build a career around.
🔩 What You'll Be Doing
• Lead structural design & analysis - perform and seal advanced structural calculations, drawings, and construction documents for event-driven projects across the U.S.
• Own projects end-to-end - manage engineering scope from proposal through installation, partnering with Project Managers and installation crews to solve real field challenges.
• Get out of the office - conduct site visits and field observations to validate your designs and support installation teams on active event sites.
• Mentor and lead - provide technical guidance to junior engineers and draftspeople, coordinate engineering workflows across concurrent projects, and drive standardization and best practices.
• Be the technical voice - serve as the primary point of contact for clients, architects, and consultants, representing Arena's engineering expertise in project meetings and design reviews.
🧱 What You Bring to the Table
• Bachelor's degree in Civil or Structural Engineering
• Active Professional Engineer (P.E.) license - required
• 10+ years of structural engineering experience, with a focus on steel and aluminum structures
• Proficiency in structural analysis software (ETABS, STAAD, or similar) and AutoCAD/Revit
• Strong command of steel and aluminum design codes and structural standards
• Ability to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment
• Willingness and ability to travel across the U.S. for site visits and project support
👍 Bonus Points If You Have These
