Position Overview

Are you a visionary engineer ready to transition from technical execution to high-level strategic leadership? We are seeking a Senior Project Manager to spearhead complex structural steel initiatives from our Metro Kansas City hub. In this pivotal role, you will do more than manage workflows; you will serve as a primary architect of client relationships and a guardian of structural integrity. Acting as a direct partner to the Vice President, you will steer the division’s most ambitious projects, ensuring every beam and column aligns with our uncompromising standards for safety and innovation.

Joining our team means becoming an essential extension of our clients' inner circles. We pride ourselves on a "one-to-one" partnership model that strips away corporate layers, allowing you to function with high autonomy and direct impact. This is a legacy-building opportunity designed for a driven professional eyeing a seat in senior management. Here, your technical mastery of steel design meets the art of business development, offering a clear, accelerated trajectory toward executive leadership within a firm that treats your professional goals as its own.

Core Responsibilities

• Strategic Project Stewardship: Architect the lifecycle of large-scale commercial and industrial structural steel projects, maintaining total oversight from initial concept through final ribbon-cutting.

• Executive Client Partnership: Serve as a high-level consultant and "staff extension" for clients, translating complex engineering challenges into actionable, budget-conscious solutions.

• Division Leadership: Collaborate directly with the Vice President to drive operational excellence and mentor the next generation of high-performance structural engineers.

• Business Development & Growth: Leverage deep technical expertise to support sales efforts, forge new market alliances, and solidify the firm’s reputation as a premier structural partner.

• Technical Authority: Oversee and validate complex structural calculations and designs, ensuring rigorous adherence to international building codes and steel construction standards.

• Resource & Budget Integration: Masterfully juggle multiple high-priority deadlines, coordinating internal teams and subcontractors to deliver sophisticated systems within tight fiscal and temporal guardrails.

• Innovation Advocacy: Maintain a pulse on emerging research and industry trends, integrating modern methodologies into the firm’s design-build toolkit.

Required Qualifications

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Civil, Structural, or Architectural Engineering from an accredited university.

• Licensure: Active Professional Engineer (PE) license required (or the ability to obtain via comity within 12 months).

• Experience: 8–10+ years of progressive experience in structural engineering with a heavy emphasis on project management.

• Software Proficiency: Expert command of computer-assisted engineering software (e.g., RISA-3D, RAM, Tekla, or AutoCAD) and standard project management suites.

• Compliance: Valid US Driver’s License and the ability to travel domestically/internationally as project needs dictate.

Preferred Qualifications

• Advanced Education: Master’s degree in Structural Engineering (M.S. or M.Eng).

• Sector Expertise: Deep specialized background in structural steel fabrication and erection standards.

• Global Mobility: Valid US Passport for international project site visits.

• Leadership Pedigree: Proven track record of managing multidisciplinary teams in fast-moving, high-stakes environments.
