Structural Engineer

Structural Engineer (PE Preferred)

Itasca, IL
Compensation: $95,000 – $135,000+ (flexible based on experience & licensure)

About the Opportunity
We are partnering with a growing manufacturer specializing in custom enclosures, seeking a Structural Engineer to bring critical in-house expertise to their engineering team. This is a high-impact role where you’ll own structural validation and analysis—something the organization currently lacks internally.

If you’re looking for a role where your work directly influences product safety, design integrity, and cost efficiency, this is it.

What You’ll Be Doing
Perform structural analysis and validation on enclosure designs prior to external PE review
Ensure designs meet applicable codes, safety standards, and customer requirements
Optimize designs for cost efficiency without compromising structural integrity
Collaborate closely with design and engineering teams to refine concepts
If licensed, stamp and approve drawings internally

What We’re Looking For
5–10+ years of experience in structural engineering / design
Experience with structural analysis software (RISA, SkyCiv, or similar tools)
Background in enclosures, sheet metal structures, or similar systems is a strong plus
Solid understanding of structural design principles and applicable codes
FE/EIT required or in progress; PE license strongly preferred

Why This Role Stands Out
Opportunity to build and own the structural function internally
High visibility and influence on product safety and design standards
Flexibility in compensation based on experience and licensure
Path to become the go-to technical authority within the organization
