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

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

- 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

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
