Senior Structural Engineer

Mott MacDonald • Woodbridge Township, NJ

8d • $103,000 - $135,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

Mott MacDonald is seeking a Senior Structural Engineer to develop conceptual, preliminary, and detailed structural designs using industry-standard analysis and design software. The role exercises independent judgment in evaluating, selecting, adapting, and applying engineering techniques, procedures, and criteria. It includes structural analysis; preparation of reports, specifications, quantities, and cost estimates; and review and refinement of engineering designs, drawings, and technical documents.

The engineer will participate in project meetings, client discussions, and multidisciplinary coordination; develop initial design approaches for major project phases or take overall responsibility for engineering on projects of limited scope; and plan, schedule, conduct, or coordinate engineering work, including work with complex or conflicting design requirements. The role also includes assignment-based supervision of less experienced engineers or technical support personnel, as well as site visits and on-site coordination meetings. Other duties may be assigned to support project and team needs.

The position follows Mott MacDonald's hybrid approach, with an in-office culture and a minimum of three days per week in the office. The expected salary varies by location: $103,000–$126,000 in New Jersey, $108,000–$132,000 in New York, and $110,000–$135,000 in Virginia. Individual pay depends on factors including work location, education, experience, and skills.
