About The Position

Forge ahead with WSB. WSB was founded on the understanding that culture drives results and we've dedicated ourselves to the value of strong relationships, collaboration and forward-thinking ideas. We've inspired each other to discover thoughtful and creative solutions that look beyond the needs of today to the opportunities of tomorrow. We invite you to forge ahead with us. What You Will Do: As a structural engineer you will be a member of and occasionally lead a team performing bridge design and other structural design for a wide variety of clients including cities, counties, state, and private entities. You will use innovative approaches to provide our clients with efficient designs focused on quality. You will use your engineering design skills to perform and check structural calculations for both new and existing structures, to direct engineering technicians in the development of engineering drawings, to develop project specifications and special provisions, to conduct structural inspections, and to write reports regarding the inspection and evaluation of existing facilities. While bridge projects are expected to make up the majority of your work, you will also be required to provide structural design and analysis for retaining walls, buildings and other vertical structures, and hydraulic structures such as clarifiers, tanks, dam, and weirs. Your experience level will determine the amount of independent judgment granted, the complexity of tasks performed, and direct supervision received.
