Structural Project Manager
About The Position
Our Seattle office is growing, and we're looking for a Structural Engineer ready to lead projects across a broad commercial and civic practice - think mixed-use developments, multi-family housing, higher education, seismic retrofits, and community facilities. If you also have an interest in high-end residential work, our Residential Studio is active in Seattle and the door is open. And if sports facilities have ever been on your bucket list, you'll find that conversation here too - our national sports sector is led out of this office. Holmes US is an international structural engineering firm with offices along the West Coast, part of the Holmes Group - 500+ people worldwide, born in New Zealand over 65 years ago. We're local partners and global specialists: the relationships and character of a tight-knit West Coast practice, backed by the technical depth of a firm that operates across the Pacific Rim. Our Seattle office works across commercial structures, higher education, seismic retrofit, residential, and sports. It's a team that takes on genuinely interesting work, and our portfolio shows it.
