About The Position

Quanta Infrastructure Solutions Group (QISG), part of Quanta Services, is seeking a structural engineering leader and subject matter expert to support large-scale infrastructure projects throughout North America. The Director is a functional leader for QISG’s structural engineering practice, focused on building structural aspects of data center, energy, and industrial infrastructure. The role develops the organization’s ability to address engineering constraints early, from site selection and due diligence through design, construction support, and closeout. It also supports structural engineering subject matter expertise and Engineering Project Management functions integrating engineering, permitting, and procurement for EPC and design-build programs. Reporting to the Sr. Director and/or Vice President of Engineering, the Director leads and develops structural engineering resource capacity, oversees subconsultant design, and collaborates with internal civil, geotechnical, water and wastewater, transportation, GIS, environmental, permitting, procurement, and construction teams. The role provides Engineer-of-Record-level oversight of structural deliverables, manages third-party engineering design processes, and supports projects with a smaller amount of QISG self-performed engineering work. The successful candidate brings deep technical credibility, can work effectively with owners and engineering design leads, and is comfortable with ambiguity and limited supervision.
