About The Position

Wiley|Wilson, a 100% employee-owned architecture and engineering firm, is seeking a new graduate to join our Structural Engineering team in our Alexandria, VA office. As a Structural Engineer-in-Training (EIT), you will work alongside experienced structural engineers to analyze and design structural systems for a wide range of projects and clients. You will gain hands-on experience across multiple phases of design while building the technical foundation and experience needed to pursue your Professional Engineer (PE) license. Working under the guidance of licensed Professional Engineers, you will contribute to real projects from the start. Your work will include performing structural analysis and design calculations; preparing reports and design drawings; researching design solutions; and assisting with quantity take-offs and cost estimates. You will also participate in field investigations to observe existing conditions and verify construction, connecting the calculations and drawings you produce in the office with how structures are actually built in the field. As your experience grows, you will continue developing your technical skills in structural design as well as CAD and BIM applications, including AutoCAD and Revit. You will collaborate with architects and civil, mechanical, electrical, and other engineering professionals, gaining an understanding of how structural systems integrate with the complete building design. This is an opportunity to begin your career in an environment where you can learn from experienced structural engineers, take on increasing design responsibility as your skills develop, and build a strong foundation for long-term growth as a Structural Engineer.
