Our client, a well-established and highly respected engineering consulting firm, is seeking a Project Engineer to join its growing team. This is an excellent opportunity for an engineer who enjoys balancing technical design, site investigations, client interaction, and project management while working on a diverse portfolio of existing buildings.
This is a priority hire, offering the opportunity to join a collaborative consulting environment where you'll work alongside experienced engineers and take ownership of projects from initial investigation through design and construction support.
What You'll Be Doing

- Preparing technical reports, engineering analyses, and recommendations for clients.
- Developing structural designs, repair solutions, and construction documentation.
- Coordinating with architects, contractors, property managers, and building owners throughout project delivery.
