Not just work on them - actually own them, lead the team, build the client relationship, and put your name on the outcome.\nOur Structures Practice is looking for a Structural Engineer with the technical chops and the people skills to do exactly that. If you've spent the last few years building your craft and you're ready to step into a project leadership role across commercial, multi-family, education, civic, or mixed-use work - let's talk.\nWho We Are\nHolmes US is an international structural engineering firm with offices up and down the West Coast and a home base that goes back over 65 years to New Zealand. We're part of the Holmes Group - 500+ people worldwide - which means you get the resources and technical depth of a global firm alongside the culture and relationships of a West Coast practice where people actually know each other.\nOur Structures Practice takes on the kind of work that shapes how people experience their city: university buildings, multi-family housing, civic projects, commercial developments, and seismic retrofits of the buildings already standing. The variety is intentional - it keeps the work interesting and the skill set broad.\nWhat You'll Actually Do\nLead structural engineering projects from concept through construction administration across commercial, multi-family, education, civic, or mixed-use building types\nOwn client relationships - managing scope, schedule, budget, and expectations with clarity and consistency\nDevelop technically rigorous structural solutions across concrete, steel, wood, and masonry\nDirect, mentor, and develop a team of engineers and designers\nDrive quality control and technical reviews on your projects\nContribute to business development through strong client relationships and repeat work\nCollaborate across Holmes practice areas - and, when a project calls for it, across our international offices\nWhat We're Looking For\n4-8+ years of structural engineering experience in a consultancy setting\nPE license required; SE license preferred or in active pursuit\nB.S. or M.S. in Civil / Structural Engineering\nSeismic design experience - this is core to our practice, not a bonus\nDemonstrated ability to manage projects and lead or mentor a team\nStrong communication skills - you're as comfortable presenting to a client as you are reviewing calcs\nProficiency in ETABS, SAP2000, or RISA\nDepending on your experience, this role will be placed at our Project Engineer or Senior Engineer level. What we're looking for in either case is someone ready to lead projects, not just contribute to them.\nWhy Holmes?\nThe breadth of our portfolio is a genuine advantage for your career. You're not going to spend five years on the same building type. You'll tackle seismic retrofits, new high-rises, school campuses, and mixed-use developments - often in the same year. That variety means you build a skill set that holds up over a long career.\nWe invest in our people seriously. Holmes University is our internal learning platform, giving you access to technical training and leadership development throughout your career. Senior engineers and principals here are genuinely available - mentorship isn't a line item in a brochure, it's how we actually operate. And when you need it, you have access to the technical depth of the Holmes network across New Zealand and Australia.\nWe also believe you follow your interests. There's a clear path to leadership and ownership at Holmes - and we'll be straight with you about what it looks like from where you're standing.\nWork-Life Balance, and We Mean It\nOur hybrid model is three days in the office - the rest is yours. We offer biannual profit share so you participate in the success you help create. And we've worked hard to build a culture where overtime is the exception, not the expectation. You'll do better work when you're not running on empty, and we structure the practice accordingly.\nBenefits Offered:\nDepending on your employment status, benefits may include:\nHybrid work model\nComprehensive Medical, Dental, Vision, Life, AD&D, Short-term and Long-term Disability and other voluntary plans\nFlexible Spending Accounts for Medical & Childcare\nHealth Savings Account\nPet Insurance\nEmployee Assistance Program\nPaid Time off - Vacation, Sick, Personal Leave, Family Leave for new parents, and Community Service time\nPaid Holidays\nPre-Tax Commuter Transit\n401(k) retirement savings with Company contribution\nCompany sponsored events\nDiversity / Inclusion programs and initiatives\nCompensation\n$87,000 - $141,000+ depending on experience level and location, plus biannual profit share bonus potential. Salary is commensurate with experience, skills, and office location.\nOur Commitment\nAt Holmes, we believe in building teams as diverse as the communities we serve. We provide equal support and opportunities for all our people to thrive, grow, and develop. Dream big - we'll help you get there.\nReady to lead projects that matter?
