Structural Engineer

ROLE SUMMARYThe Structural Engineer will help grow the firm’s internal engineering capability, along with collaborating with external consultants, where applicable. This individual is a licensed Professional Engineer who will design and produce structural construction documents across SVA’s healthcare, institutional, and commercial portfolio, coordinate structural scope within the firm’s BIM environment, and serve as the firm’s internal structural authority from early design through construction administration. This is a high-visibility role which will help shape SVA’s engineering practice as it grows. Healthcare and institutional project experience is a plus; the ability to work independently while collaborating closely with architects and MEP is essential.KEY RESPONSIBILITIESDesign and produce stamped structural construction documents on assigned SVA projects across applicable structural systemsPerform structural analysis and member sizing; prepare foundation designs appropriate to soil conditions, occupancy type, and project scopeCoordinate structural scope within the project BIM model; participate in multi-discipline coordination meetings and resolve conflicts with architectural and MEP teamsCollaborate with the architectural team on early-stage structural system selection, bay spacing, floor-to-floor heights, and lateral system strategyProduce structural specifications across applicable divisions; review structural shop drawings, submittals, and RFIs during construction administrationCoordinate with geotechnical consultants on foundation design recommendations and soil bearing assumptionsConduct site visits during construction to observe structural installations, review conditions of special inspection, and confirm conformance with construction documentsSupport business development by contributing to proposals and client presentations where in-house structural capability is a differentiatorEstablish structural standards, typical details, and specifications libraries for the firm as the engineering practice is built outQUALIFICATIONSBachelor’s degree in structural, civil engineering, or architectural engineering, or a related fieldMaster's degree in structural engineering preferredLicensed Professional Engineer (PE) requiredSE licensure a plus, particularly for higher-risk or complex institutional project types7+ years of structural engineering experience across commercial, institutional, or healthcare project typesExperience in an AEC firm or related industry preferredThorough understanding and capability in Revit and AutoCADProficiency in structural analysis modeling programs such as RISA, RAM, ETABS, or similarDemonstrated experience across multiple structural systems: steel, cast-in-place and precast concrete, masonry, and light-gauge and heavy timber framingFamiliarity with applicable codes and standardsHealthcare or institutional project experience preferred; familiarity with vibration-sensitive environments (operating rooms, imaging suites) a meaningful plusAbility to work independently while collaborating effectively within a multi-discipline architectural team
