Structural Engineer in Itasca

Job DescriptionJob DescriptionStructural Engineer (PE )
Itasca, IL
Compensation: $95,000 – $135,000+ (flexible based on experience & licensure)
About the OpportunityWe are partnering with a growing manufacturer specializing in custom enclosures, seeking a Structural Engineer to bring critical in-house expertise to their engineering team. This is a high-impact role where you’ll own structural validation and analysis—something the organization currently lacks internally.
If you’re looking for a role where your work directly influences product safety, design integrity, and cost efficiency, this is it.
What You’ll Be Doing

• Perform structural analysis and validation on enclosure designs prior to external PE review
• Ensure designs meet applicable codes, safety standards, and customer requirements
• Optimize designs for cost efficiency without compromising structural integrity
• Collaborate closely with design and engineering teams to refine concepts
• If licensed, stamp and approve drawings internally

What We’re Looking For

• 5–10+ years of experience in structural engineering / design
• Experience with structural analysis software (RISA, SkyCiv, or similar tools)
• Background in enclosures, sheet metal structures, or similar systems is a strong plus
• Solid understanding of structural design principles and applicable codes
• FE/EIT required or in progress; PE license strongly

Why This Role Stands Out

• Opportunity to build and own the structural function internally
• High visibility and influence on product safety and design standards
• Flexibility in compensation based on experience and licensure
• Path to become the go-to technical authority within the organization
