What does a residential structural engineer do?

A Residential Structural Engineer is responsible for designing and evaluating the structural integrity of homes and small buildings. They ensure that foundations, walls, roofs, and other structural elements can safely support loads and withstand environmental forces. Their work includes analyzing blueprints, performing structural calculations, and inspecting construction sites to ensure compliance with building codes. They may also provide recommendations for repairs or modifications to existing structures.

What does a typical workday look like for a residential structural engineer?

A typical day for a Residential Structural Engineer often involves conducting site visits, reviewing architectural plans, performing structural calculations, and creating or modifying design drawings. You may spend part of your day meeting with clients, architects, or contractors to discuss project requirements and progress, and another portion troubleshooting design challenges or addressing construction issues onsite. Most engineers also spend time documenting their work and ensuring compliance with local codes and permitting processes. This balance of fieldwork, collaborative meetings, and technical analysis provides variety and the opportunity to see your projects progress from concept to completion. You’ll frequently work both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team, ensuring residential buildings are safe and structurally sound.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a residential structural engineer?

A Residential Structural Engineer needs a solid background in civil or structural engineering, a relevant degree, and ideally licensure as a Professional Engineer (PE). Familiarity with structural analysis software (such as AutoCAD, Revit, or SAP2000), local building codes, and construction materials is crucial. Strong communication, project management, and problem-solving skills help engineers collaborate effectively with architects, builders, and clients. These skills ensure that residential structures are safe, efficient, and built to regulatory standards while meeting client needs.

Job description

Structural Engineer – Residential & Light Commercial

Woodstock, Georgia | $90,000–$110,000 + Bonus

Tired of Being Just Another Engineer in a Huge Firm?

Here's an opportunity to join a growing structural engineering firm where you'll actually know the people you're working with, have direct access to leadership, and take ownership of your projects from design through completion.

We're looking for a Structural Engineer who enjoys the technical side of engineering but also wants variety, autonomy, and the satisfaction of seeing their designs become real structures.

You'll work on a diverse mix of residential and light commercial projects including new construction, additions, renovations, structural repairs, foundations, and framing systems.

No endless layers of management.

No being stuck designing the same thing every day.

You'll work directly with experienced engineers, architects, builders, contractors, and clients while developing practical structural solutions that actually get built.

Why This Opportunity Stands OutOwn Your Projects

This isn't a production-line engineering position.

You'll have the opportunity to take projects from initial concept through structural design, drawings, coordination, and completion.

You'll see the entire process and understand how your engineering decisions affect the finished project.

Work on Something Different Every Day

The project mix includes:

  • Custom residential construction

  • Home additions

  • Renovations

  • Structural repairs

  • Wood-framed structures

  • Foundations

  • Light commercial buildings

  • Existing building modifications

If you enjoy solving structural puzzles instead of repeatedly designing the same building type, you'll like the variety here.

Get Out From Behind the Computer Occasionally

Most of your work will be engineering and design, but you'll also have occasional local site visits to evaluate existing conditions and see projects firsthand.

The key word is local.

This isn't a heavy-travel consulting position where you're constantly living out of a suitcase.

Small Company. Big Impact.

You'll join a small, family-oriented engineering firm where your work will be noticed.

You'll have direct access to experienced engineers and company leadership rather than being buried several levels deep inside a large organization.

That creates an excellent environment for an engineer who wants to continue developing technically while gaining more responsibility and independence.

What You'll Be Doing

You'll provide structural engineering and design for residential and light commercial projects throughout the area.

Responsibilities will include:

  • Designing structural systems for residential and light commercial buildings

  • Performing structural calculations and analysis

  • Designing wood framing systems

  • Developing foundation designs

  • Preparing framing plans

  • Producing construction documents

  • Creating and modifying engineering drawings using AutoCAD

  • Reviewing drawings for structural integrity and code compliance

  • Developing solutions for renovations, additions, and structural repairs

  • Evaluating existing structures

  • Performing occasional local site visits

  • Coordinating with architects, builders, contractors, homeowners, and clients

  • Managing multiple projects and deadlines

  • Maintaining accurate engineering documentation

What We're Looking For

We're looking for an engineer who understands structural design and enjoys finding practical solutions to real-world construction challenges.

Ideally, you'll bring:

  • Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, or related discipline

  • Structural design experience

  • Residential structural engineering experience

  • Knowledge of wood-framed construction

  • Understanding of foundations and structural framing systems

  • Ability to perform structural calculations and develop construction documents

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills

  • Ability to communicate effectively with architects, contractors, builders, and clients

  • Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously

AutoCAD experience is preferred.

EIT or PE certification is a plus, but it is not required.

Compensation & Benefits

Salary: $90,000–$110,000, depending on experience

The company also offers:

  • Annual performance bonus

  • Annual performance reviews

  • Potential 3–5% annual salary increases based on performance

  • 3% IRA match

  • Company-provided computer

  • Company-provided tools for site visits

  • Relocation assistance available for the right candidate

And here's something increasingly rare in engineering:

A predictable schedule.

Monday through Friday with your choice of approximately 7:00 AM–4:00 PM or 8:00 AM–5:00 PM.

Minimal weekend work.

Local site visits only.

Build Structures — And Build Your Career

This is an excellent opportunity for a Structural Engineer who wants to escape the corporate shuffle and become an important part of a growing engineering firm.

You'll get variety.

You'll get ownership.

You'll work directly with the people making decisions.

And you'll have the opportunity to grow professionally as the company continues to grow around you.

If you enjoy residential structural engineering and want your next position to offer more than simply another desk and another stack of calculations, we'd like to hear from you.

Please send your resume to chuck@libertyjobs.com
