Job description

Licensed Forensic/Structural Engineer or Architect

Denver, Colorado (Hybrid)

Full-Time | $115,000–$140,000 depending on experience


Investigate Failures. Solve Complex Problems. Restore the Built Environment.


A growing forensic engineering and architecture consulting firm is seeking a Licensed Professional Engineer (PE) or Registered Architect (RA) to join its team. This is an excellent opportunity for a licensed professional with approximately 5–10 years of experience who enjoys investigative work, technical problem-solving, and working on complex projects involving existing structures.


Our team specializes in forensic investigations, structural evaluations, construction defect analysis, and repair design for commercial and residential buildings. Every project presents a unique challenge, making this an ideal role for engineers and architects who enjoy variety, critical thinking, and hands-on field work.


What You'll Do

  • Perform forensic investigations of structural failures, building damage, and construction defects.
  • Conduct field investigations, site inspections, and destructive testing as needed.
  • Evaluate existing structures and determine the cause of distress, deterioration, or failure.
  • Prepare clear, concise technical reports documenting findings, conclusions, and repair recommendations.
  • Analyze architectural and structural drawings, building codes, specifications, and supporting documentation.
  • Develop structural repair concepts and rehabilitation solutions.
  • Present technical findings to clients and project teams.
  • Mentor and provide technical guidance to junior engineers and architects.
  • Travel to project sites as needed (mileage reimbursed).


What We're Looking For

  • Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, or Architecture.
  • Professional Engineer (PE) or Registered Architect (RA) license required.
  • Approximately 5–10 years of relevant experience in forensic engineering, structural engineering, building envelope consulting, restoration, or existing building investigations.
  • Strong understanding of structural systems, building materials, and applicable building codes.
  • Excellent technical writing and communication skills.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
  • Ability to manage multiple projects while maintaining exceptional attention to detail.
  • Comfortable performing field work, including accessing roofs, crawl spaces, attics, ladders, and other challenging environments.
  • Experience with Revit, AutoCAD, Bluebeam, or other industry-standard software is a plus.


Why You'll Love This Opportunity

  • Work on challenging forensic and structural investigation projects—not repetitive production design.
  • Diverse project portfolio spanning commercial, residential, and institutional buildings.
  • Collaborative, highly technical team environment.
  • Opportunities to mentor younger engineers while continuing to grow your own expertise.
  • Hybrid work flexibility for Colorado-based employees.
  • Strong support for professional development and continuing education.


Compensation & Benefits

  • Salary: $115,000 - $140,000 depending on experience
  • Medical, Dental & Vision Insurance
  • Life & Disability Insurance
  • 6% 401(k) Employer Match
  • Paid Professional Licensure & Continuing Education
  • Flexible Hybrid Schedule
  • Paid Vacation & Sick Time
  • Paid Holidays
  • Maternity Leave Program
  • Career Growth & Advancement Opportunities
