Senior Structural Engineer

Every industrial/power project is a community project—whether it’s a paper mill upgrade, a gas plant conversion, a transmission line corridor, an electrical substation, or a wind/solar development project. Our goal is to improve industry, business, and local communities through our project work. We see beyond the project at hand to where our work fits in the big picture. Join a team that does more than generate and deliver electricity through its work; join a team that powers growth and advances communities.
