Join Our Team as a Structural Engineer!STRUCTURAL TECHNOLOGIES is seeking motivated early-career engineers to join our nationwide assessment and repair engineering division. Opportunities are available in our Chicago, Columbia, and Houston offices, with remote options in the Charlotte or Chattanooga areas for qualified candidates. This hybrid role combines intentional in-person collaboration with work-from-home flexibility, offering a challenging and rewarding start to your structural engineering career.

In this role, you'll apply and expand your engineering skills while shaping a career path aligned with your interests.

- Gain exposure to structural failure mechanisms;
- Evaluate distressed structures and determine root cause;
- Decide when repair vs. replacement is appropriate;
- Design repairs that must be constructible, durable, and safe in live Nuclear or industrial facilities
- Work side by side with construction teams-not just hand off drawings.
This position offers future career progression to both our business leadership and technical leadership pathways in engineering.Skills and Qualifications:We are looking for candidates who meet the following criteria:
