## Job description

At ANS, we’re not just a consulting engineering firm—we’re a team of trailblazers shaping the future of multi-disciplinary engineering. Recognized as one of the Best Places to Work and Top 10 Hottest Firm by Zweig Reports and featured in Inc. 5000’s Top 250 for our staggering 1,748% growth, we're proud of what we've built and where we're headed. We're allergic to bureaucracy, thrive on innovation, and embrace data-driven decisions. If you love collaboration, creativity, and a fast-paced environment, we might just be your perfect match!

## WHY YOU’LL LOVE WORKING HERE

A supportive, dynamic, and innovative team culture. Opportunities to attend industry events and showcase your skills. A chance to directly shape the voice and vision of one of the industry’s fastest-growing firms.

## About the Role

As a Senior Structural Engineer, you’ll lead the structural effort across projects and guide their technical direction. Building on the project-engineer role, you’ll set the design approach, resolve complex technical issues, coordinate project design teams, and partner with project managers, clients, and construction teams from early design through construction.

## WHAT YOU’LL DO

- Lead structural analysis and design for foundations (driven piles, screw and helical piles, and cast-in-place concrete), overhead steel structures, building envelopes, and non-building structures across multiple projects, setting the technical approach.
- Set and review code and standard approaches — ASCE 7, IBC, NESC, ASCE 113, IEEE 693, and NFPA — for project teams.
- Ensure adherence to applicable Client, EPC, Owner, and Utility standards across project deliverables.
- Lead coordination of specifications and contract requirements with project managers and client representatives from early design through construction, resolving constructability with construction teams.
- Coordinate project design teams and guide the technical direction of projects, making key design decisions and resolving complex technical issues.
- Coordinate with designers and the civil design team on drawings, details, and foundation bills of material (BOMs) across large project areas.
- Use engineering software (Excel, RISA, LPILE, and Trimble products; VBA and Python for design automation) to deliver and document designs.
- Mentor engineers and designers, set quality expectations, and review work across projects.
- Support business development, proposals, and client relationships as a senior technical lead.

## WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

- A bachelor’s degree in structural or civil engineering from an ABET-accredited program; a master’s degree is preferred.
- 8+ years of structural engineering experience. Professional Engineer (PE) required; SE a plus.
- Expert command of structural analysis and design and the applicable codes and standards.
- Experience guiding technical direction and coordinating project design teams, clients, and construction partners.
- Proficiency with structural and foundation software (RISA, LPILE), Trimble products, Excel, and design automation (VBA/Python).
- Strong leadership and the ability to guide technical direction across projects.
