Serve as Engineer of Record and structural discipline lead on large-scale building projects.

Design the structures that matter.
Steel, concrete, masonry, wood, and specialty systems — from analysis through detailing.

Mentor the next generation.
Guide junior engineers and designers. Review work. Teach. Elevate the team.
