Project Engineer, Structural Steel Design Description

Our client, a structural engineering and manufacturing company, is seeking a Project Engineer to join their West Michigan team. This role is ideal for an early-career structural engineer or EIT looking for hands-on design experience with professional development support and a defined path toward licensure. You’ll work directly under a licensed Professional Engineer who will mentor and review your work as you contribute to the design, analysis, and pricing of engineered-to-order structural steel projects for a variety of commercial and municipal applications. Unlike traditional consulting roles, you’ll see your designs move from calculation to fabrication to installation – collaborating closely with welders, CAD designers, and architects. This end-to-end exposure creates a faster feedback loop and accelerates technical growth while building a strong understanding of how structural steel designs perform in the real world. This is a great opportunity to join a growing organization that values professional development, innovation, collaboration, and hands-on problem solving.
