How much do structural analyst jobs pay per hour?

As of Aug 12, 2026, the average hourly pay for structural analyst in the United States is $65.13, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $54.81 and $76.20 per hour, depending on experience, location, and employer.

What is a structural analyst?

A Structural Analyst is an engineering professional who evaluates and analyzes the strength, stability, and rigidity of structures such as buildings, bridges, or aircraft. They use mathematical models, computer simulations, and physical testing to ensure that structures can withstand various loads and stresses without failing. Their work is essential in the design phase to verify that safety standards are met, and they often collaborate closely with architects and other engineers. Structural Analysts help prevent structural failures by identifying potential weaknesses and recommending improvements.

What is the difference between Structural Analyst vs Structural Engineer?

AspectStructural AnalystStructural Engineer
Required CredentialsBachelor's degree in civil or structural engineering, certifications varyBachelor's or master's in civil or structural engineering, PE license often required
Work EnvironmentOffice-based, using analysis software to evaluate structuresDesign, planning, site visits, and project management
Industry UsageCommon in consulting firms, construction, and engineering servicesDesign and construction firms, infrastructure projects

While both roles involve structural analysis, a Structural Analyst primarily focuses on evaluating existing structures using software, whereas a Structural Engineer designs and oversees new structures. The roles often overlap in skills and industry settings, but their core responsibilities differ.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a structural analyst, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Structural Analyst, you need a solid background in structural engineering principles, finite element analysis, and a relevant engineering degree, often with a Professional Engineer (PE) license. Familiarity with analysis software such as ANSYS, SAP2000, or Abaqus, as well as CAD tools, is typically required. Strong problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and effective communication are crucial soft skills in this role. These skills ensure precise analysis, effective collaboration, and the safety and reliability of structural designs.

What are some common challenges a structural analyst faces when working on multidisciplinary engineering projects?

Structural Analysts often collaborate with architects, mechanical engineers, and construction teams, which can present challenges such as aligning design priorities and managing communication across disciplines. Balancing structural integrity with aesthetic or functional requirements frequently requires creative problem-solving and adaptability. Additionally, tight deadlines and evolving project specifications may demand quick analysis and revisions, making effective time management a valuable skill. Proactive communication and openness to feedback are key to ensuring successful project outcomes in this dynamic environment.

Job description

Senior Structural Analyst – Contract

Location: Bellevue, WA (Remote Available) Type: Contract

Overview

System One is seeking a Senior Structural Analyst to support advanced nuclear reactor development programs focused on next-generation energy technologies. This role is responsible for performing structural and finite element analysis (FEA) of reactor structures, vessels, nuclear island components, and high-temperature mechanical systems operating in demanding environments.

The ideal candidate will bring strong experience in structural mechanics, pressure vessel codes, seismic analysis, and finite element modeling using ANSYS and related engineering tools. This is an excellent opportunity to work within a highly collaborative engineering environment supporting cutting-edge nuclear technology development.

Responsibilities

  • Perform structural and mechanical analyses of reactor systems, vessels, enclosures, and related nuclear components
  • Verify component performance against applicable engineering codes and standards including ASME, ASCE, and AISC requirements
  • Support interdisciplinary engineering teams to optimize component and structural designs
  • Develop and maintain engineering analysis documentation and technical reports
  • Perform peer reviews and support engineering quality assurance processes
  • Serve as a technical point of contact for assigned engineering tasks and analysis activities
  • Mentor junior engineers and support development of technical team capabilities
  • Assist engineering leadership with technical evaluations and project execution support

Qualifications

  • B.S., M.S., or Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering or related engineering discipline
  • 8+ years of related experience with B.S., 5+ years with M.S., or 3+ years with Ph.D.
  • Strong proficiency with finite element analysis (FEA) and mechanical analysis methods
  • Advanced experience using ANSYS and SolidWorks
  • Strong understanding of:
    • Structural mechanics
    • Fracture mechanics
    • Fatigue analysis
    • Thermal and buckling analysis
    • Creep-fatigue/inelastic analysis
  • Experience with pressure vessel and piping codes including:
    • ASME BPVC Section III and VIII
    • B31.1 / B31.3
  • Experience performing seismic analysis using response spectrum and time history methods preferred
  • Familiarity with ASCE 4, ASCE 43, AISC, and AWS design standards preferred
  • Experience working within quality assurance programs such as NQA-1, ISO-9000, or similar regulated environments
  • Experience utilizing Mathcad for engineering calculations preferred
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills with ability to work collaboratively across engineering teams

Preferred Qualifications

  • Nuclear industry experience
  • Experience with high-temperature reactor component analysis
  • ANSYS Workbench and/or APDL expertise
  • Python or engineering programming experience
  • Experience supporting safety-related or code-qualified equipment designs

Additional Requirements

  • Ability to work in a hybrid or remote environment with occasional travel as needed
  • Ability to sit and work at a computer for extended periods
  • Occasional travel up to 5%
