This is a rare opportunity for a new graduate or early‑career engineer to join a top‑tier engineering organization supporting safe, sustainable, zero‑emission nuclear energy.

From day one, you’ll be immersed in real, high‑impact engineering work, learning directly from industry experts while contributing to technically complex structural designs that support critical infrastructure across the country.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Work on mission‑critical nuclear and infrastructure projects
Learn directly from leading structural and nuclear engineering experts
Clear career progression with mentorship and structured development
Hands‑on exposure to concrete, steel, and foundation design
Long‑term stability with a highly respected engineering organization
Competitive benefits, generous PTO, and 401(k) match

What You’ll Do

As an Entry‑Level Structural Engineer, you’ll support the design and analysis of structural systems for buildings and infrastructure under the guidance of sr engineers.

Key responsibilities include:

Assist with structural steel framing and connection design
Support foundation design and evaluation for infrastructure projects
Review loads, load paths, and overall system behavior
Collaborate with sr engineers and multidisciplinary teams
Participate in customer‑facing engineering discussions and technical reviews
Support engineering documentation, reports, and design packages
Engage in structured interviews and ongoing feedback processes with structural leadership

What We’re Looking For

Required Qualifications

ABET‑accredited degree in Civil or Structural Engineering (or related field)
Coursework in structural analysis, concrete, and/or steel design (from undergrad)

Work Environment & Growth

You’ll join a U.S.-based engineering organization dedicated to advancing zero‑emission nuclear energy through hands‑on engineering solutions. The culture is highly technical and collaborative, emphasizing mentorship, knowledge sharing, and continuous development.

Work on challenging design and modification projects with direct customer impact
