Stop being the person behind the calculations. Start leading the projects, the clients, and the team.
We’re partnered with a growing structural engineering consulting firm to hire a Lead Structural Engineer for their New York team. This is a high-impact leadership role for someone who wants to combine technical delivery, client management, and team leadership while helping shape the future direction of the business.
If you’re a PE licensed Structural Engineer with 15+ years’ experience in building structures and you enjoy leading people just as much as leading projects, this could be the right move.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out

- Opportunity to mentor and grow a structural team beneath you
- Visible role within a growing firm where your input genuinely matters

- Provide leadership and mentorship to junior and mid-level structural engineers
- Review structural calculations, drawings, and construction documents
- Coordinate closely with architects, MEP consultants, contractors, and ownership groups
- Support business development efforts, proposal preparation, and long-term client growth
- Drive quality control and ensure projects are delivered to a high technical standard
- Attend client meetings, site visits, and construction coordination meetings
What You’ll Bring
- PE License required
- 15+ years of structural engineering experience focused on building structures

What’s In It For You

- Collaborative and technically strong engineering environment
- Flexible working structure
- Strong benefits package and performance-based compensation
- Opportunity to help shape the growth of an expanding structural engineering practice
