- Produce technical reports, repair drawings, and specifications.
- Serve as a technical expert, occasionally providing expert witness testimony.
- Conduct site visits, which may include accessing roofs, crawlspaces, and other challenging areas.
This is a field and office-based role with local and occasional regional travel.
Key Qualifications:
- Degree in Civil or Structural Engineering or Architecture from an accredited institution.
- PE or NCARB certification (or in progress).
- Minimum 5 years' experience in structural design, building inspections, or forensic investigations.
