Project Structural Engineer – Federal Engineering and Design
Company Description
We are Olsson, a team-based, purpose-driven engineering and design firm. Our solutions improve communities, and our people make it possible.
Our most meaningful asset is our people, and we are dedicated to providing an environment where they can continue to learn, grow, and thrive. Our entrepreneurial spirit is what has allowed us — and will continue to allow us — to grow. The result? Inspired people, amazing designs, and projects with purpose.
Job Description Olsson is seeking a highly skilled and motivated Project Structural Engineer to join our Federal Engineering and Design Team, where your expertise will directly support the development of mission‑critical infrastructure across the country. From military installations and VA hospitals to federal campuses and secure facilities, you’ll help shape the structural backbone of projects that serve national interests and improve lives.
This is more than a design role — it’s an opportunity to lead, collaborate, and innovate within a team that values technical excellence, client service, and community impact.
Key Responsibilities
Lead structural engineering efforts for vertical infrastructure projects including barracks, hospitals, administrative buildings, and specialized federal facilities.
Perform detailed structural analysis and design of steel, concrete, masonry, and wood systems. Develop construction documents including plans, specifications, and calculations.
Work closely with architects, civil engineers, mechanical/electrical teams, and federal stakeholders to ensure seamless integration of structural systems.
Apply design standards including UFC (Unified Facilities Criteria), IBC (International Building Code), ASCE, AISC, and other federal and industry codes.
Support proposal writing, scope development, and participate in federal RFP responses to help grow Olsson’s federal portfolio.
Provide technical guidance to junior engineers, review work for quality and accuracy, and foster a collaborative learning environment.
Preferred Qualifications
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Civil or Architectural Engineering with a structural emphasis.
PE or SE license (required).
6+ years of experience in structural design, ideally with federal clients or projects.
Proficiency in Autodesk, Revit, and similar analysis tools.
Familiarity with DoD, VA, and federal design standards and processes.
Strong communication skills, with the ability to lead meetings, coordinate teams, and engage with clients.
Experience managing project schedules, budgets, and deliverables is a plus.
Benefits and Career Growth
Contribute to projects that serve national interests and make a difference in communities.
Choose from remote, hybrid, or in-office arrangements that support your lifestyle and productivity.
Join a team that values mentorship, innovation, and shared success. We celebrate wins together and learn from challenges.
Advance your career through leadership roles, technical training, and exposure to high-profile federal clients.
Employee Benefits
Health care, vision, dental, paid time off, and other benefits.
401(k) match.
Wellness program promoting balanced lifestyles.
Bonus system that rewards performance.
Flexible work arrangements.
