About The Position
WSP is seeking a full-time Early Career Structural Engineer for its Boston, Massachusetts office. The role supports the Structural Engineering Team on projects across the United States, including the design of new buildings and restoration of existing buildings. The engineer will work on superstructures and foundations using timber, concrete, steel, and masonry, and use current structural design and digital tools. The position also supports sustainability and carbon reporting. The engineer will develop and maintain an interactive structural material quantity (SMQ) and carbon tracking dashboard, collect and organize project data, analyze embodied carbon metrics, identify trends and optimization opportunities, and prepare reports and visualizations for internal stakeholders and engineering leadership. The role offers advanced training in structural design and digital design technology, as well as participation in practice-area learning and collaboration networks. The successful candidate will bring a passion for structures and architecture, strong communication skills, and the ability to work effectively with colleagues. The role may require occasional travel and schedules that extend beyond a typical workweek to meet project-specific needs.
