Senior Structural Engineer - ZipRecruiter : Job Details

Job Description

Encorus Group is excited to expand our footprint with a new office in Rochester—and we're looking for a skilled and motivated Senior Structural Engineer to lead the charge. This is more than a technical role; it's a leadership opportunity for someone eager to build and shape a high-performing structural team from the ground up.

As the senior structural presence in our Rochester location, you'll work closely with our experienced team based in Buffalo, supporting ongoing projects while focusing on expanding our structural capabilities and client base in the region. You'll play a key role in growing both the workload and the local team, helping to define the culture and direction of this new branch.

In this full-time role, you'll lead structural design projects across both the AEC and industrial sectors, working with systems including structural steel, reinforced concrete, masonry, timber, and various foundation types. We're seeking a professional who can manage projects independently from concept through completion.

Beyond design, you'll have a hand in proposal development, client and vendor relationships, and mentoring junior engineers—helping to shape not only the work we do but how we grow as a team.

If you're energized by the idea of technical leadership, business development, and team-building in a collaborative and innovative environment, we'd love to hear from you.

• Develop designs for various structures, conducting research, selecting systems, performing analyses, and preparing drawings.

• Collaborate with internal and external teams to resolve structural design challenges.
• Ensure accuracy and thoroughness of all deliverables.

• Bachelor's degree in Civil or Structural Engineering

• Professional Engineer (PE) registration
• Proficiency in RISA3D, STAAD Pro or similar analysis software is required.
• Experience with Revit is a plus.
• Strong communication and teamwork skills.
• Ability to comply with company drug screening, including pre-employment tests.
• A valid driver's license, along with the ability to travel locally and occasionally out of state.

The salary range for this position is $100,000 - $135,000 annually. Actual compensation will be based on the candidate's knowledge, skills, and experience. Encorus Group is an equal opportunity employer (EOE/AA /Veteran), committed to fair and equitable compensation.
