Engineer of Record – Florida (Forensic + Civil Leadership Role)
Stratum House | Remote but within the state of Florida (Florida License Required)
Stratum House is expanding into Florida and seeking a senior-level Professional Engineer to serve as Engineer of Record and technical leader for the state platform.
This is a foundational leadership role designed for a forensic-minded engineer who also brings strong civil site development experience in multifamily and subdivision projects.
This position is remote, with Florida licensure required and periodic in-state meetings as needed.
We are building a disciplined, opinion-driven engineering platform focused on quality, documentation integrity, and scalable systems — not a volume-based design shop.
Primary Responsibilities
Forensic Leadership (Primary Emphasis)
- Lead failure analysis investigations (wind, hail, water intrusion, fire, structural distress)
- Prepare and review expert reports
- Provide litigation support, rebuttals, depositions, and testimony
- Enforce strict documentation standards (photo-log protocols, chain-of-custody, opinion gating)
- Evaluate large-loss assignments with disciplined scope and client selection
Civil Engineering Oversight (Secondary but Critical)
- Serve as Engineer of Record for:
- Multifamily site development
- Subdivision and commercial land development
- Review, approve, and stamp plans
- Standardize CAD workflows and QA/QC processes
- Oversee due diligence and feasibility studies that convert to design engagements
- Participate in construction administration when fee and risk profile are appropriate
Strategic & Operational Leadership
- Set annual state-level priorities and margin targets with executive leadership
- Lead quarterly planning and monthly financial reviews
- Establish pricing standards and enforce minimum fee discipline
- Maintain KPI scorecards and reporting standards
- Recruit and mentor senior engineers and project managers
Qualifications
- Active Florida PE license (required)
- 10+ years progressive engineering experience
- Strong forensic investigation experience preferred
- Civil site development experience in multifamily and subdivisions required
- Expert witness experience strongly preferred
- Strong written report capability and courtroom composure
- Financial literacy and operational discipline
- High integrity and defensible professional judgment
Compensation
- Performance Bonus tied to revenue and margin KPIs
- Long-term retirement compensation structure for key leadership role
- Remote flexibility with growth platform opportunity
Stratum House is building a high-discipline, defensible engineering practice designed for long-term enterprise value — balancing forensic integrity with repeatable civil development work.
If you are an experienced forensic engineer ready to help build and lead a Florida platform, we invite you to apply.
