About The Position

At Arena, we turn bold ideas into unforgettable experiences.

With projects across the US, UK, Middle East, and Asia, you’ll gain hands‑on experience, work with industry experts, and see your work come to life in real time. If you’re looking for a fast‑paced environment, real responsibility, and the chance to be part of something exciting from day one, Arena is the place to grow your career. As our Sr. Structural Design Engineer, you’ll own the engineering of complex structural systems — from temporary event pavilions to permanent installations — for some of the most high-profile events on the planet. You’ll work across the full project lifecycle, seal your own calculations and drawings, and see your designs physically built in the field. If you’re a licensed PE who wants more than a desk job and enjoys the challenge of practical, real-world engineering, this is a role you can genuinely build a career around.
