Design Engineer P.E.

ATS Engineers, Inspectors & Surveyors (ATS) is seeking a bright, motivated candidate to join our structural engineering department. We have long supported the builder residential community with frame, windbrace and foundation designs for single-family homes and townhouses; and are now experiencing growth in other areas.

We are looking for a licensed engineer (P.E.) to grow our capability, to take on complicated, high-end custom residential projects (think modern / glass / steel / cantilevers) and Class A commercial projects (retail and office shell and finish outs). Ideally, we’re looking for someone to work closely with the department manager in setting the growth path of our department.

Job Requirements :

• Bachelor of Science degree in Civil or Architectural Engineering with specialization in Structural Engineering. Master’s degree a plus.
• 5+ years of experience in the design of building structures ideally including experience in all project phases : framing layout for gravity and lateral, calculations and detailing during construction document phase and construction administration.
• P.E. license in Texas, or ability to obtain one in 3 months. Passed S.E. exam a plus.
• Experience designing with diverse materials and building types. Most structures we produce are one- to three-stories tall, wood- or steel-framed with concrete foundations. Ability to understand other engineers’ assumptions and apply similar rules to your design essential.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills. Our ideal candidate has experience as a project manager and the ability to guide architects towards practical solutions during design development, to avoid clunky outcomes during construction document phase.
• Ideal candidate has experience designing structures using 2-D / 3-D analysis software like Risa, as well as calculations (Enercalc or Excel).

We offer a friendly, creative work environment with a competitive benefits package and flexible hours. If you are a licensed P.E. and consider yourself a great fit for this position, send us your resume : we’ll be excited to read it.
