Early Career Structural Engineering Designer

About the role

At KPFF Consulting Engineers, we are more than just an engineering design firm. For 65 years, we have dedicated ourselves to innovative, sustainable engineering that shapes the built environment and tackles complex infrastructure challenges. Our team culture emphasizes balance, growth, and well-being, supporting each member’s professional journey with flexibility, generous benefits, and a collaborative approach to work-life integration. With over 1,500 professionals across 36 offices nationwide, KPFF’s decentralized structure allows each office the flexibility to pursue projects aligned with their regional strengths. Our growing Chicago presence represents the next chapter of that growth: an opportunity to help build something locally while being part of a firm with decades of experience behind it. KPFF is growing its structural engineering presence in Chicago, and we are looking for an early-career Structural Designer who is excited to develop their engineering experience while helping us build what comes next. You will work alongside experienced engineers who are invested in your development, gaining hands-on experience across a variety of structural systems, project types, and phases of design. You will be closely connected to our established St. Louis Structural team while also having opportunities to contribute to the built environment in the Chicago area, and to collaborate with colleagues across KPFF. As your technical skills and experience develop, you will have opportunities to take on increasing responsibility and to play a larger role in shaping KPFF's future in Chicago.
