  • Manage multiple concurrent projects while meeting deadlines and quality expectations.
  • Travel as necessary to support local and regional project needs.

Requirements

  • Bachelor of Science in Civil or Structural Engineering.
  • 5+ years of civil / structural engineering experience (forensic experience preferred but not required).
  • Active P.E. license in Kansas or Missouri.
  • Ability to perform field inspections, including roof evaluations using safety equipment.
  • Strong project management and technical writing skills.
  • Effective communication skills, including public speaking and client presentations.
  • Ability to work independently, manage time effectively, and adapt to shifting project priorities.

    • Preferred Qualifications :

  • Proficiency in related civil engineering areas such as soils, drainage, pavements, and hydraulics.
  • Experience providing expert opinions or courtroom testimony.
  • Strong analytical and planning skills with attention to detail and precision.
