Structural Engineer Assistant information

What are Structural Engineer Assistants?

Structural Engineer Assistants support structural engineers in designing, analyzing, and inspecting buildings, bridges, and other structures. Their responsibilities typically include preparing technical drawings, conducting site visits, assisting with calculations, and ensuring compliance with safety standards. They often work alongside engineers to gather data, create reports, and help resolve engineering problems, making them an essential part of any construction or civil engineering team.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Structural Engineer Assistant, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Structural Engineer Assistant, you need a background in civil or structural engineering, strong mathematical skills, and familiarity with engineering principles, often supported by a relevant degree or coursework. Proficiency in AutoCAD, Revit, and structural analysis software, along with knowledge of building codes, is typically required. Effective communication, attention to detail, and teamwork are essential soft skills for collaborating with engineers and ensuring project accuracy. These abilities are crucial for supporting efficient project design, compliance, and successful execution within engineering teams.

What are some typical challenges faced by a Structural Engineer Assistant when collaborating with senior engineers and architects?

As a Structural Engineer Assistant, one of the main challenges is effectively communicating technical information to both senior engineers and architects, who may have different priorities and perspectives. You may also need to balance multiple projects at once, ensuring that your work meets strict deadlines and complies with industry standards. Additionally, adapting to rapidly changing project requirements and learning to use specialized software under supervision are common aspects of the role. Building strong teamwork and organizational skills will help you overcome these challenges and contribute effectively to the design and analysis process.

What is the difference between Structural Engineer Assistant vs Civil Engineer?

AspectStructural Engineer AssistantCivil Engineer
Required CredentialsAssociate's or Bachelor's in Civil or Structural Engineering, internshipsBachelor's or higher in Civil Engineering, PE license often preferred
Work EnvironmentDesign offices, construction sites, engineering firmsConstruction sites, design offices, urban planning agencies
Employer & Industry UsageEngineering firms, construction companies, government agenciesConstruction, infrastructure, transportation, urban development

The Structural Engineer Assistant typically supports structural design and analysis under supervision, focusing on specific projects. Civil Engineers have broader responsibilities, including planning, design, and overseeing infrastructure projects. While both roles require similar educational backgrounds, Civil Engineers often hold professional licensure and handle more complex tasks across various engineering disciplines.

Job description

Description:

DC Engineering is seeking a Structural Engineer (4+ years of experience) to join our growing Structural Engineering team. A P.E. or S.E. license is preferred but not required.


This role offers the opportunity to work within a collaborative, multidisciplinary engineering firm serving primarily commercial clients. Projects primarily include wood-framed buildings, with additional exposure to concrete, steel, masonry, and light-gauge steel structures.


This is an in-office position, providing close collaboration with internal team members and direct interaction with project stakeholders. In this role, you will work closely with both internal teams and external clients to deliver high-quality engineering solutions.


Job Duties

In this position, you will:

  • Lead small project teams (EITs and Revit designers) in the development of structural construction drawings and calculation packages for commercial buildings and structures.
  • Interact directly with architects, owners, contractors, plan reviewers, and other engineering disciplines to develop effective project solutions.
  • Train and mentor junior staff.

You will provide structural engineering services across all phases of commercial projects, including design, permitting, bidding, and construction administration. You may also assist with proposals for new projects.


Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate will have strong experience in wood-frame buildings and concrete foundations. Experience with steel, concrete, masonry, and/or light-gauge steel construction is also beneficial.


Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the development of construction drawings and oversee internal project teams.
  • Perform structural analysis and calculations for building projects.
  • Support the full project lifecycle, including design, permitting, bidding, and construction administration.
  • Coordinate with multidisciplinary teams and communicate effectively with clients, contractors, and consultants.
  • Help maintain quality standards, project schedules, and budgets.
Requirements:
  • Bachelor’s degree in engineering from an ABET/EAC accredited program.
  • 4+ years of experience. P.E or S.E. preferred, but not mandatory.
  • Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate closely with internal team members and commercial clients.
  • Ability to work both independently and within a team environment to meet deadlines.
  • Self-motivated, proactive, and comfortable working in a fast-paced, client-focused environment.
  • Familiarity with BIM concepts and Revit (preferred).
  • Familiarity with BlueBeam/PDF software.
  • Familiarity with structural analysis software such as EnerCalc, RAM/Bentley Suite, and Hilti Profis.
  • Ability to use common office software (Outlook, Teams, Word Excel, time-tracking tools).

Why Join DC Engineering?
We’re a collaborative, people-first company that values professionalism, teamwork, and a positive work environment. This is a great opportunity to be part of a supportive team and contribute to a company that values your skills and input.

DC Engineering offers a competitive compensation and benefit package that includes:

  • Health, Dental, and Vision Coverage
