About The Position

LJB Inc. is seeking a Mid-level Structural Engineer for its Safety Practice. The role may be performed remotely by candidates located in the United States. The engineer will analyze, design, plan, and create structural components and systems while leading fall protection design projects for LJB clients. Projects include solutions such as fixed platforms, fall-arrest anchorages, and horizontal lifelines, coordinated with existing structures and customer needs. The role involves documenting existing conditions, analyzing building components that support fall protection systems, preparing engineering calculations and assisting with construction documents. The engineer will coordinate with design staff to produce accurate documents and drawings and use Revit and other CAD tools. Project coordination may include communicating with clients about project issues and attending meetings. The position also requires maintaining technical knowledge through seminars, professional publications, and LJB-provided training. Travel to U.S. project locations, including overnight stays, is expected at 50–75%.
