This role serves as the licensed Structural Engineer (SE) responsible for overseeing the structural execution of large-scale utility and infrastructure projects throughout Nevada.

• Participate in project kickoff meetings, progress meetings, and client coordination meetings to align expectations and deliverables.
• Conduct regular site visits and field observations throughout project execution to monitor progress and quality.
• Maintain approximately 20% field presence to verify construction activities and witness critical structural components, including foundations and major structural installations.
• Review contractor submittals, shop drawings, requests for information (RFIs), and construction documentation for structural compliance and constructability.
• Ensure all projects comply with Nevada building codes, structural engineering regulations, and applicable industry standards.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary project teams, contractors, utility providers, and government agencies to support coordinated project delivery.
• Monitor scheduling, project milestones, and construction activities to help ensure timely project completion.
• Identify, troubleshoot, and resolve structural issues that arise during construction.
• Provide structural guidance and technical leadership to project stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle.
• Support business growth initiatives and expansion into additional infrastructure and utility sectors.
• Review and approve structural designs to ensure they meet project requirements and regulatory standards.
• Engage with clients in a professional, client-facing capacity, providing clear communication and maintaining strong working relationships.

Essential Skills

• Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering or Structural Engineering.
• Active Nevada Professional Engineer (PE) license.
• Active Nevada Structural Engineer (SE) license or the ability to obtain Nevada reciprocity immediately.
• Minimum of 5+ years of structural engineering experience.
• Experience overseeing construction projects through permitting, active construction, and project closeout.
• Knowledge of Nevada building codes, permitting processes, and regulatory requirements.
• Strong understanding of structural systems including concrete, steel, foundations, retaining structures, and utility-related infrastructure.
• Experience conducting site observations and coordinating with contractors during construction.
• Demonstrated client-facing experience and the ability to oversee projects effectively.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to convey technical information clearly to diverse stakeholders.
• Proven project leadership skills with the ability to manage multiple stakeholders and project schedules simultaneously.
• Solid foundation in structural engineering principles and their application to large-scale infrastructure projects.

• Experience within utility, energy, transmission, power generation, telecommunications, or infrastructure industries.
• Previous involvement with transmission line, substation, renewable energy, or utility construction projects.
• Experience working with Clark County permitting and plan review processes.
• serving as Engineer of Record on large-scale infrastructure projects.
• Experience managing projects with multi-year construction schedules.
• Strong client-facing experience with the ability to build and maintain long-term relationships.

• Desire to contribute within a collaborative, high-performance culture that values accountability and innovation.
• Interest in working with cutting-edge ballistic, blast, forced-entry, and perimeter protection technologies.
