Structural Designer / Project Engineer

[This position is based in San Diego, CA - Job Type: Full-time, In-Person]

Some firms promise growth. BWE is designed for it.

At BWE, we’re intentional about giving engineers real responsibility, real support, and the chance to shape both projects and the practice itself.

We’re a tight‑knit structural group within a medium-sized San Diego firm, working on a wide range of building types primarily throughout Southern California. Because of our size, every engineer has visibility, influence, and access to mentoring, not just a narrow slice of production work.

If you want a place where you can grow technically, lead when you’re ready, or simply become the best structural engineer you can be, without getting lost in the crowd, BWE may be the place you didn’t realize you were looking for.

What we'd like you to bring:

The confidence to tackle new tasks and build engineering skills that move projects forward, along with the humility to ask questions when you need to. A problem-solving attitude backed by good people skills, and enjoyment working on a wide range of projects, with differing materials, in various jurisdictions. We want someone who enjoys working as part of a team, and shares our values of individuality, creativity, and diversity to make us stronger as a group of individuals who can each provide their own perspective in contributing to our success.

Minimum Qualifications:

· Bachelor’s Degree in Structural Engineering

· Current Engineer-in-Training (EIT), or PE license

· 1-6 years of experience performing building design

· A knack for problem-solving

· Excellent interpersonal skills, great teamwork

· Great communication skills across all forms of communication

· Ability to take initiative, gain confidence, and maintain an enthusiasm for structural engineering!
