About the Role

We are looking for a Structural Designer / Structural Design Engineer to join a California-based architectural and structural engineering practice. The role focuses on designing and documenting residential structures, primarily using Autodesk Revit, from architectural models through calculations and construction documents.

Key Responsibilities

- Develop structural designs for single-family homes, ADUs, additions, remodels, decks, carports, and other residential structures.

- Review architectural Revit models and establish appropriate gravity and lateral load paths.

- Design wood framing, beams, headers, posts, shear walls, foundations, and structural connections.

- Perform structural calculations for gravity, lateral, foundation, and retaining-wall systems.

- Coordinate calculations with Revit plans, details, schedules, and construction documents.

- Apply applicable California and U.S. codes, including CBC/CRC, ASCE 7, NDS, SDPWS, ACI 318, and AISC 360.

- Produce clear,



coordinated, and constructible structural drawing packages for review by a U.S.-based Engineer of Record.

- Perform quality-control reviews to ensure calculations and drawings are complete and consistent.

Required Qualifications

- Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, or a related field.

- 3–7 years of relevant structural design experience preferred.

- Strong experience with wood-frame residential structures.

- Strong proficiency in Autodesk Revit.

- Experience with structural calculations and design software such as ENERCALC, WoodWorks, Bluebeam, AutoCAD, and Excel.

- Ability to independently develop a structural solution from an architectural model—not simply perform BIM modeling or drafting.

- Professional English proficiency sufficient for technical communication, calculations, notes, and design reviews.

- California experience is preferred but not required.
