COMPANY OVERVIEW
Henneman Engineering provides comprehensive engineering and consulting services across commercial, healthcare, multifamily, residential, industrial, and institutional markets. The Henneman Engineering Industrial Technology Group team supports clients through project management, process design, mechanical, electrical, chemical, controls, instrumentation, integration, and reliability engineering services.
POSITION OVERVIEW
Henneman Engineering Industrial Technology Group is seeking a Structural Engineer to join its Champaign, Illinois office. This role is ideal for an engineer who enjoys structural analysis, building design, project management, client collaboration, and seeing projects through every phase from proposal development through construction support.

The role is onsite in Champaign with primarily local client travel and minimal overnight travel.

· Coordinate structural design with architects, contractors, clients, and multidisciplinary engineering teams.
· Participate in client meetings and project coordination activities with support from senior engineering staff as needed.
· Provide construction support, field observations, and engineering solutions throughout the project lifecycle.
· Evaluate existing structural systems and assist in developing practical engineering solutions.
· Review drawings, calculations, and other project documents for accuracy, completeness, and compliance with applicable standards.
· Communicate project status, design considerations, and technical issues effectively with project team members.
· Continue developing technical expertise and the ability to independently manage increasingly complex engineering assignments.
