Senior Structural Engineer

Rochester, NY
Full Time
Experienced
Encorus Group is excited to expand our footprint with a new office in Rochester—and we’re looking for a skilled and motivated Senior Structural Engineer to lead the charge. This is more than a technical role; it’s a leadership opportunity for someone eager to build and shape a high-performing structural team from the ground up.

As the senior structural presence in our Rochester location, you’ll work closely with our experienced team based in Buffalo, supporting ongoing projects while focusing on expanding our structural capabilities and client base in the region. You’ll play a key role in growing both the workload and the local team, helping to define the culture and direction of this new branch.

In this full-time role, you’ll lead structural design projects across both the AEC and industrial sectors, working with systems including structural steel, reinforced concrete, masonry, timber, and various foundation types. We’re seeking a professional who can manage projects independently from concept through completion.

Beyond design, you’ll have a hand in proposal development, client and vendor relationships, and mentoring junior engineers—helping to shape not only the work we do but how we grow as a team.

If you're energized by the idea of technical leadership, business development, and team-building in a collaborative and innovative environment, we’d love to hear from you.

Responsibilities:
  • Coordinate design efforts with in-house teams and external professionals, including architects and other engineering disciplines.
  • Develop designs for various structures, conducting research, selecting systems, performing analyses, and preparing drawings.
  • Assist project managers with estimates, schedules, design drawings, calculations, and project documentation.
  • Travel to project sites to take measurements, observe construction progress, and meet with clients.
  • Adhere to company and industry standards while preparing calculations, drawings, and specifications.
  • Mentor junior staff, providing guidance and reviewing their work.
  • Collaborate with internal and external teams to resolve structural design challenges.
  • Ensure accuracy and thoroughness of all deliverables.
Qualifications:
  • Bachelor’s degree in Civil or Structural Engineering
  • 10+ years of structural engineering and design experience, with a preference for consulting experience.
  • Professional Engineer (PE) registration
  • Proficiency in RISA3D, STAAD Pro or similar analysis software is strongly preferred.
  • Experience with Revit is a plus.
  • Strong communication and teamwork skills.
  • Ability to comply with company drug screening, including pre-employment test.
  • A valid driver's license, along with the willingness to travel locally and occasionally out of state.
Pay Range: The salary range for this position is $130,000 - $165,000 annually. Actual compensation will be based on the candidate’s knowledge, skills, and experience.

Encorus Group is an equal opportunity employer (EOE/AA Disability/Veteran), committed to fair and equitable compensation.

Join Us! At Encorus, we value innovation, collaboration, and professional development. We are a 100% employee-owned ESOP company offering the opportunity to work within a collaborative and supportive environment.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
