About the Role

We are looking for a Structural Designer / Structural Design Engineer to join a California-based architectural and structural engineering practice. The role focuses on designing and documenting residential structures, primarily using Autodesk Revit, from architectural models through calculations and construction documents.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop structural designs for single-family homes, ADUs, additions, remodels, decks, carports, and other residential structures.
  • Review architectural Revit models and establish appropriate gravity and lateral load paths.
  • Design wood framing, beams, headers, posts, shear walls, foundations, and structural connections.
  • Perform structural calculations for gravity, lateral, foundation, and retaining-wall systems.
  • Coordinate calculations with Revit plans, details, schedules, and construction documents.
  • Apply applicable California and U.S. codes, including CBC/CRC, ASCE 7, NDS, SDPWS, ACI 318, and AISC 360.
  • Produce clear, coordinated, and constructible structural drawing packages for review by a U.S.-based Engineer of Record.
  • Perform quality-control reviews to ensure calculations and drawings are complete and consistent.

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, or a related field.
  • 3-7 years of relevant structural design experience preferred.
  • Strong experience with wood-frame residential structures.
  • Strong proficiency in Autodesk Revit.
  • Experience with structural calculations and design software such as ENERCALC, WoodWorks, Bluebeam, AutoCAD, and Excel.
  • Ability to independently develop a structural solution from an architectural model-not simply perform BIM modeling or drafting.
  • Professional English proficiency sufficient for technical communication, calculations, notes, and design reviews.
  • California experience is preferred but not required.
