Our dynamic team of structural engineers plays a key role in our organization and is one of the top timber engineering teams in North America. Working closely with architects and our detailing and project management teams, our engineers create efficient and practical designs for structures of all scales and complexities, from mass timber to freeform.\nAs a Senior Associate joining our growing team, you will lead teams of project engineers working on creative structures with some of North America and Europe’s foremost architects. Our design philosophy is strongly focused on creating efficient structures, and our computational engineering team pioneers the use of the latest inform-finding and optimization techniques to enable this.\nTHE TEAM:\nStructureCraft is a family-owned business, and our diverse team hails from more than 10 different countries, including Europe, Australasia, Canada, and the US. This broad range of experience and backgrounds provides us with the unique opportunity to draw upon best practices from across the globe and utilize these to help create signature structures.\nResponsibilities Concept scheming and sketching to create innovative structural solutions with architects and designers.\nLeading and managing multiple teams of project engineers, drafters and designers, and performing quality control with assembly and fabrication teams.\nLeading involvement in client meetings (in-person and remote) and the facilitation of creative solutions to design issues and challenges.\nProviding engineering reports to clients, structural advice on the construction and design of projects and devising modifications as necessary.\nPerforming concept level and detailed structural design and detailing, including calculations, sketches, and static/dynamic finite element modelling in both pre construction and construction phases, under the mentorship of the Engineering Manager.\nLiaising with internal project management, shop, and site teams to ensure projects are delivered on time and budget, and meet fabrication and erection constraints.\nVisiting mass timber project sites across North America (remote or in-person when possible) to conduct field reviews and work with our install team on the ground at each project.\nReviewing project requirements to provide estimates on quantities and costs of materials, equipment and labor and input on construction and development budgets.\nMentoring junior structural engineers and developing our technical knowledge base.\nProviding engineering reports to clients and structural advice on the construction and design of projects and devising modifications as necessary.\nPresentation and communication at conferences, lunch & learns, and seminars across North America.\nPosition Requirements Master’s or Doctorate Degree in Civil Engineering (or a related Engineering Degree).\nAt least 12 years of experience working as structural engineer (minimum 5 years of experience in timber engineering). Experience with seismic design in Canada/USA or abroad is an asset.\nPE, P.Eng., or MIStructE, SE is an asset.\nExperience leading the design of large building projects, working with architects and clients to achieve pragmatic and cost-effective solutions.\nKnowledge and use of Canadian, American, and European codes an asset.\nExperience with Finite Element software (SAP2000, R-FEM, ETABS), and significant experience with Excel (performing calculations). Experience working with 3D modelling software such as Rhino/Grasshopper/AutoCAD is an asset.\nStrong understanding of engineering fundamentals.\nWe offer a competitive salary and benefits package.\n\n#J-18808-Ljbffr","company":"Structure Craft","rawCompany":"structure craft","city":"Seattle","state":"WA","isRemote":false,"isActive":true,"createdAt":"2026-06-17T03:38:15.584Z","occupations":[{"code":"17-2051.00","title":"Civil Engineers","slug":"civil-engineers"},{"code":"11-9041.00","title":"Architectural and Engineering Managers","slug":"architectural-and-engineering-managers"},{"code":"17-2199.00","title":"Engineers, All Other","slug":"engineers-all-other"}],"industries":[{"code":"541330","title":"Engineering Services","slug":"engineering-services"},{"code":"321215","title":"Engineered Wood Member Manufacturing","slug":"engineered-wood-member-manufacturing"},{"code":"332312","title":"Fabricated Structural Metal Manufacturing","slug":"fabricated-structural-metal-manufacturing"}],"jobPosting":{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"JobPosting","title":"Senior Associate, Structural Engineering","description":"Overview StructureCraft is a structural engineering and timber construction firm based near Vancouver, BC and operating across North America and Asia.
