Civil Engineer (Structural Focus), Licensed P.E.

The roleCaesar Engineering is a lean civil and structural firm serving municipal agencies, private developers, and institutional clients from the Greater NYC area to the Capital Region. We're bringing on a licensed P.E. to own a real book of structural and engineering consulting work — stamped drawings, master planning engagements, field observations, and technical leadership — from day one. This isn't a support role. You'll hold the pen on your projects and have direct access to both principals.Our work spans two modes: production and advisory. On the production side, you're designing and stamping plans and projects. On the advisory side, you're helping government and private clients think through building programs, strategy, feasibility, climate resilience, and long-range capital planning. Both tracks matter equally here, and the best candidates will be comfortable moving between them.Our design work happens remotely. Our fieldwork happens in person. Most weeks that means one or two days in the corridor between New York City and Albany — site visits, structural observations, construction-phase coordination. The rest of your time is yours to manage from wherever you work best.What you'll ownStructural design & productionPrepare, stamp, and seal structural drawing sets and calculations under NYS regulations and applicable building codes (IBC, ASCE 7, ACI, AISC, NDS)Lead structural design across steel, wood, concrete, and foundation systems — including pre-engineered metal buildings (PEMB)Conduct forensic assessments of existing and distressed structures; prepare engineering reports and remediation recommendationsPerform field site visits and structural observations within the NYC–Albany corridor — personal vehicle requiredReview and respond to RFIs, shop drawings, and submittals during constructionCoordinate with architects, MEP engineers, and contractors to integrate structural systems into overall project designsConsulting & master planningSupport building feasibility studies and capital planning assessments for municipal, county, and private-sector clients — evaluating structural condition, program fit, and cost trajectoryContribute to master planning engagements that include building programming, design concept development, and phased implementation strategies for government and institutional clientsAuthor technical sections of planning reports, feasibility memos, and client-facing deliverables that translate engineering findings into actionable guidance for non-technical decision-makersSupport RFP scope development and cost estimating in coordination with project leads for both public procurement and private engagementProject Ownership & DeliveryOwn the full lifecycle of assigned projects—managing schedules, budgets, and technical deliverables while serving as the primary point of contact for clients and principals.Participate in municipal planning board proceedings — prepare presentation materials and attend board meetings to support project approvalsMaintain high technical standards through thorough review of project documentation and calculationsWhat you'll bringRequiredActive NY P.E. license in Civil Engineering, in good standing, authorized to stamp in New YorkB.S. in Civil Engineering from an ABET-accredited program (structural concentration preferred)4–5 years of progressive structural experience with a demonstrated record of independently producing and stamping construction documentsFoundational experience with civil infrastructure and systems such as site design, stormwater management, and related topics. Hands-on design experience with structural steel, wood, concrete, and foundation systems for buildingsExperience with design and coordination of steel buildings (PEMBs, etc.)Experience conducting forensic assessments of existing or damaged structuresDemonstrated ability to contribute to or lead feasibility studies, building assessments, or master planning reports for government or private clientsValid driver's license and personal vehicle; able and willing to travel within the NYC–Albany corridor on a roughly weekly basisProficiency in structural analysis software (Tekla Structural Designer, Tekla TEDDS, ETABS, SAP2000, StructurePoint, or equivalent)Working knowledge of AutoCAD, Revit, Sketchup, or Tekla Design SoftwareStrong command of IBC, ASCE 7, ACI 318, AISC 360, and NDSStrong written and verbal communication skills, including client-facing reports and planning documentsPreferredM.S. in Civil or Structural EngineeringNYS municipal permitting submission experienceFamiliarity with FEMA flood and wind zone design in the Hudson Valley / Tri-State regionExperience with climate resilience frameworks (FEMA HMA, NYS DHSES, or similar) applied to building or infrastructure planningExperience supporting or leading public-sector master planning or capital improvement program (CIP) engagementsExperience preparing forensic reports in support of litigation or insurance assignmentsPrior military experience is a plus; candidates with a military background are encouraged to applyCompensation & termsCompensation Range: $85,000 – $120,000 / yr depending on experience and qualificationsWork arrangement: Remote-first; weekly field travel (NYC–Albany)Professional development; CE reimbursement; licensure fee supportCareer path: Direct path to project leadership and client relationshipsHome office: One-time setup stipend Yearly Performance bonusesDocumentation Required: Be prepared to send a sample portfolio of 3 projects you have contributed to and your role in the project (redacted OK)Be prepared to provide 2-3 professional references and one optional personal referenceAbout Caesar EngineeringCaesar Engineering D.P.C. is a NYS MBE-certified civil and structural engineering firm with offices in Monroe and Troy, NY.
