Senior Project Engineer

Precision Hire•McKinney, TX

2d•Onsite

About The Position

This opportunity combines hands-on structural engineering, technical project leadership, and mentorship of junior engineers. You'll help deliver engineered formwork, shoring, and temporary structural solutions supporting commercial, industrial, and infrastructure construction projects. This is not a traditional construction project management position. We're seeking a technically strong engineer who enjoys design calculations, engineering drawings, problem-solving, and guiding other engineers while developing toward future leadership responsibilities.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, or a closely related engineering discipline.
Approximately 4–8+ years of relevant engineering experience, ideally involving construction engineering, structural design, temporary works, or formwork systems.
Strong understanding of engineering statics, structural load calculations, and design fundamentals.
Working proficiency with AutoCAD and Revit.
Experience developing or reviewing engineering drawings, calculations, and technical documentation.
Ability to solve complex engineering challenges while balancing safety, constructability, and project requirements.
Strong communication skills and the ability to provide technical direction to other engineers.
Willingness to work on-site in the Dallas/McKinney area, with approximately 5–15% regional travel.

Nice To Haves

Professional Engineer (PE) license; EIT or FE credentials are also welcomed.
Experience designing or engineering formwork, shoring, scaffolding, concrete structures, or temporary works.
Background supporting commercial, industrial, heavy civil, or infrastructure construction.
Experience mentoring junior engineers or serving as a technical project lead.
Familiarity with construction sequencing, concrete placement loads, and temporary structural systems.

Responsibilities

Lead the engineering design and execution of complex formwork, shoring, scaffolding, and temporary structural support solutions.
Perform structural load calculations, analyze design loads, and apply engineering principles to ensure safe, efficient construction solutions.
Customize and adapt engineered formwork systems to meet unique project requirements, site conditions, and construction methods.
Develop, review, and validate technical drawings, engineering calculations, and project documentation.
Utilize AutoCAD and Revit to support design development, drafting, and engineering coordination.
Apply knowledge of statics, structural mechanics, and applicable engineering standards to solve complex technical challenges.
Serve as a technical resource for junior engineers, providing design guidance, mentorship, and engineering support.
Review engineering work for accuracy, constructability, safety, and compliance with project requirements.
Collaborate with the Engineering Manager to prioritize assignments, resolve technical issues, and support team performance.
Help strengthen engineering capabilities, design consistency, and technical problem-solving across the team.
Coordinate with sales, engineering, operations, and field teams to deliver practical, cost-effective engineered solutions.
Evaluate project specifications, construction drawings, and jobsite requirements to develop appropriate engineering designs.
Provide technical support throughout project execution, including occasional site visits and troubleshooting.
Communicate engineering recommendations and design considerations to internal teams, contractors, and project stakeholders.
Support project schedules, engineering deliverables, and continuous improvement initiatives.
