Professional Engineer
About The Position
Hollingsworth Pack has an immediate opening for a licensed Professional Engineer (P.E.) to serve as the engineer in responsible charge for our Inspections & Testing team. This individual is the technical authority for the team’s inspection and certification work — setting the standards the work is performed to, supervising the inspectors who perform it, and sealing the deliverables that go out the door. We are open to both full-time and part-time arrangements and will tailor the role to the right candidate. Because responsible charge requires meaningful supervisory involvement, this individual must be able to physically visit our active and prior jobsites throughout Central Texas on a regular basis. Candidates may reside anywhere within reasonable reach of that area.

- Bachelor’s degree in Civil or Structural Engineering (or a related field) from an ABET-accredited program.

- Working knowledge of the IBC and IRC, ACI, and related codes and standards.
- Valid driver’s license and the ability to travel to and access active construction sites throughout Central Texas.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills and close attention to detail.
Nice To Haves
- Experience in residential foundation evaluation, forensic engineering, or construction inspection.
- Familiarity with the Texas Section ASCE Guidelines for the Evaluation and Repair of Residential Foundations.
- Working knowledge of PTI DC10.5 (post-tensioned slab-on-ground), ACI 318, and ACI 332.
- Understanding of expansive clay soils and soil-structure interaction as they affect Central Texas foundations.
- Familiarity with common repair methods — pressed pilings, drilled piers, and helical piers.
- Experience with floor elevation survey methods and the interpretation of elevation data.
- Prior experience leading a structural, forensic, or inspection team.

- Exercising responsible charge over inspection and certification work, including Foundation Repair Project Certifications (supervising, reviewing, and sealing certification documentation), Below-Slab Plumbing Tunnel Reviews (evaluating structural conditions and components associated with plumbing tunnel work), and Structural Assessments (directing and reviewing structural assessment reports for accuracy, completeness, and code compliance).
- Establishing and maintaining the technical criteria, inspection procedures, and report standards for the field team.
- Training, directing, and evaluating inspectors, technicians, and junior engineering staff.
- Personally observing a representative portion of field work at active projects in the San Antonio and Austin areas.
- Providing P.E. review and seal on inspection reports, certifications, and related deliverables, with full authority to reject deliverables, require re-inspection, or decline to seal.
- Ensuring quality control, accuracy, and code compliance across all inspection and testing documentation.
- Supporting the growth of the San Antonio office through strong client relationships and dependable service.
- Providing occasional expert testimony, deposition support, or litigation-related consultation on prior projects.
