Structural Engineering Lead – High-Growth Opportunity (Austin / New Orleans | Hybrid)

If you're a Structural Engineer who wants more than just another project pipeline… this is where things get interesting.

We're partnered with a market leader, an employee-owned engineering consultancy that's quietly become one of the fastest-growing firms in the U.S.—doubling in size over the last 4 years.

Now they're investing heavily in structural leadership, and they're looking for someone who can step into a role that blends technical excellence, leadership, and real influence over growth

Why this role stands out

This isn't just buildings and routine design work.

You'll be working on projects across:

• Defense infrastructure
• Space exploration & aerospace-related facilities
• Advanced manufacturing
• Commercial & Industrial Buildings

These are complex, high-impact environments where engineering decisions actually matter.

The opportunity

• Take a lead role in building and growing a structural team
• Work directly with clients and help win and shape projects
• Be part of a profit center where your success directly impacts your team
• Collaborate across a national platform with top-tier multidisciplinary teams
• Help expand structural capabilities within major MEP-led projects

What you'll be doing

• Leading structural design on large-scale, complex projects
• Acting as a client-facing engineer and trusted advisor
• Supporting and mentoring junior engineers
• Driving business development and project growth
• Playing a key role in scaling the office and team

What they're looking for

• PE Licensed Structural Engineer
• Strong experience on large/complex projects (data centers, industrial, or similar)
• Ability to balance technical delivery + leadership + client interaction
• Someone who wants to build, not just maintain

What's in it for you

• Salary up to ~$170K (depending on level)
• Employee ownership – real stake in the business
• Hybrid working
• Clear path to office leadership and beyond
• A company that feels entrepreneurial, not corporate

The culture

Despite being 5,000+ people strong, the business operates with a "boutique feel"

• High autonomy
• Strong collaboration across teams
• Leadership that rewards performance directly
• A genuine focus on people and long-term growth
