Senior Structural Engineer, Advanced Analysis
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences.
Thus we need to extract substantive content: The posting includes:
- Intro about SGH (company description)
- "What makes careers at SGH so special?" with bullet points? Actually it's prose: "The only way to advance is to question and explore..." etc.
- "There Are Many Reasons To Love SGH" with subpoints: Our Work, Our People, Our Commitment, Our Contribution.
- Then description of EMI team, services, etc.
- "What You'll Be Doing" with responsibilities list.
- "What You'll Need" with requirements list.
- "Benefits Overview" with list of benefits.
- "Compensation" with salary range and sign-on bonus.
- Then EEO boilerplate etc to remove.
We need to map to allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We can combine some sections. For example, "About the role" could contain the description of the role, EMI team, what you'll be doing? Actually responsibilities separate.
We need to avoid filler headings. So we should include sections that have real content.
Potential sections:
- About the role: could include introductory description of SGH, EMI team, what the role entails (maybe summary). But we also have separate Responsibilities and Requirements sections.
Better to follow typical structure: About the role (overview), Responsibilities (list), Requirements (list), Qualifications (maybe overlapping with Requirements), Skills (maybe list of technical skills), Benefits (list), Pay (salary range + sign-on bonus), Schedule (if any mention of schedule? Not present). So we should not include Schedule if not present.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include details like specific services (seismic design, probabilistic risk assessment, etc.), specific responsibilities list, specific requirements (8+ years experience, MS/PhD, etc.), specific skills (ANSYS, ABAQUS, etc.), benefits list, compensation details.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, accommodation, recruitment agency notice.
We must not include duplicated lines.
We need to output only HTML fragment.
Let's extract content.
First, introductory paragraphs about SGH: "Do you want to help engineer what’s next? Simpson Gumpertz & Heger (SGH) is a national engineering firm committed to delivering holistic advice for our clients’ most complex challenges. We leverage our collective and diverse experience, technical expertise, and industry knowledge of structures and building enclosures, advanced analysis, performance & code consulting, and applied science & research to deliver unrivaled, comprehensive solutions that drive superior performance. With 800 employees in offices nationwide, SGH’s industry-leading teams constantly seek to advance the meaning of what’s possible. What makes careers at SGH so special? The only way to advance is to question and explore. Every member of the SGH team is both a learner and an educator, committed to advancing ourselves, our teams, and our industry. Together we are creating a community that never settles for what is but always seeks what could be."
Then "There Are Many Reasons To Love SGH Our Work: Our clients trust us to bring clarity and deliver outstanding solutions for their most complex projects.Our People: We are bold thinkers and compassionate teammates, committed to lifelong learning and professional growth.Our Commitment: We live with integrity and embrace an obligation to give back to our professions and communities.Our Contribution: We offer a comprehensive and rich compensation and benefits package with company-paid and voluntary programs to help build healthy lifestyles, strong relationships, and future prosperity."
We could incorporate that into About the role or maybe a separate section like "About SGH". But allowed headings limited; we could put that under About the role.
Then description of EMI team: "We want someone passionate about engineering mechanics and problem solving. Our Engineering Mechanics and Infrastructure (EMI) team at SGH is seeking an individual with an advanced degree in Structural Engineering or Engineering Mechanics to join our team. EMI applies engineering mechanics, materials science, numerical simulation, innovative technologies, and collective expertise to solve our clients’ toughest problems in an inspiring work environment that nurtures life-long learning and growth. We provide significant advancement opportunities commensurate with performance. The EMI group in Newport Beach and San Diego provides services to facilities located in the United States and internationally requiring advanced state-of-the-art analysis, such as nuclear and non-nuclear power generation facilities, national defense installations, pipelines and tanks, precision structures, and other non-building structures and systems. These services include seismic design and evaluation, probabilistic risk assessment, finite element analysis, dynamic structure response analysis, aircraft impact analysis, fragility analysis for seismic and other external hazards, and safety evaluations. SGH works on challenging projects for commercial utilities, national laboratories and other government organizations, research institutes, other engineering firms, and contactors on a wide spectrum of projects that include nuclear and defense."
That's substantive.
Then "What You'll Be Doing Under the direction of the Principal and project supervisor, the engineer plans and performs engineering analyses of structures, systems, and components for extreme events (e.g. earthquakes, wind, explosions, and impact loads) and unconventional requirements (e.g. innovative materials/construction, resilience, business interruption, rapid deployment, monitoring, etc.). Responsibilities include: Work on routine problems independently and on project teams.Perform field walkdown assessments of power generation, national defense, industrial, and petrochemical facilities.Develop finite element models of structures using commercially available software and perform linear and nonlinear structural analyses using these models.Perform seismic soil-structure interaction analyses of building structures.Prepare calculations and reports documenting engineering analyses.Review work by analysts, technicians, draftsmen, and others assisting the project team.Assist in preparation of proposals, letters, reports, calculations, budgeting, scheduling, and client communication."
That's responsibilities list.
Then "What You'll Need 8+ years of professional experience in structural engineering or engineering mechanicsMaster of Science, Master of Engineering, or Ph.D. in Structural Engineering, Engineering Mechanics, or similar field.Education must have an emphasis on structural analysis, structural dynamics, and/or engineering mechanics.Strong background in structural analysis, structural dynamics, structural design, and engineering mechanics is required.Knowledge and understanding of probabilistic concepts such as risk and reliability, uncertainty quantification, random vibrations, and/or stochastic processes.Familiarity with commercial finite element analysis computer programs such as ANSYS, ABAQUS, LS-DYNA, and/or SAP2000.Professional Engineer (PE) or Structural Engineer (SE) registration.Strong written and verbal English language communication skills.Ability to interact professionally with technical staff and clients.Proficiency with use of computer programming and scripting tools for engineering computations, such as Mathcad, MATLAB, Python, and/or VBA.Ability to travel and perform field inspection of structures under supervision.May be required to work on projects that are subject to passing a security clearance check.Valid driver’s license with an acceptable Motor Vehicle Report, if applicable."
That's requirements/qualifications/skills.
Then "Benefits Overview SGH provides the following benefits to eligible employees: Paid Time Off (Vacation time, Sick leave, Holidays)Paid Parental LeaveProfit Sharing and 401(k) plan with a discretionary company contributionHealth Insurance (Medical, Dental & Vision)Short and Long-Term Disability (company paid)Employee Basic Life and AD&D insurance (company paid)Optional Life InsuranceHealthcare and Dependent Care Flexible Spending AccountsFertility, Family Forming, and Hormonal Health benefitEmployee Assistance ProgramEmpathy Bereavement SupportPre-tax Commuter BenefitAFLAC Accident & Cancer InsuranceLegal & Identity Theft plansTuition Reimbursement"
That's benefits list.
Then "Compensation The below range is a good faith estimate pursuant to applicable equal pay and pay transparency laws. The actual salary offered will be based on several factors including the candidate’s experience, qualifications and work location. Base salary is a part of SGH’s industry leading Total Compensation package. Our Total Compensation package includes base salary, pay for extra hours worked, an annual discretionary bonus program, generous paid time off, and health and wellness benefits with a special emphasis on substantial SGH contributions to medical insurance premiums and SGH’s Profit Sharing & 401(k) Plan. This position is eligible for a $7,500 sign-on bonus. Senior Consulting Engineer Or Senior Project Consultant $106,600—$149,240 USD"
That's pay.
We should not include Schedule.
Now we need to decide sections.
Potential sections:
- About the role: could include company overview, EMI team description, what makes careers special, etc. But we need to avoid too thin sections. Perhaps we combine company overview and EMI description into About the role.
- Responsibilities: list from "What You'll Be Doing".
- Requirements: list from "What You'll Need" (including experience, education, registration, etc.)
- Qualifications: maybe overlapping; but we could split Requirements into "Requirements" (experience, education, registration) and "Skills" (technical skills like ANSYS, MATLAB, etc.). However the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section called "Requirements" that includes all.
But we have allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We could use About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay. That's 5 sections. That seems reasonable.
We need to ensure we don't create a heading with filler text. All sections have content.
Now we need to format.
For About the role: we need prose (
) possibly with multiple paragraphs. We'll include the SGH intro, the "What makes careers at SGH so special?" paragraph, the "There Are Many Reasons To Love SGH" bullet points (maybe as
- ), and the EMI team description.
We must not repeat job title as heading.
We must not include duplicated lines.
We need to preserve all substantive information: So we need to include the bullet points under "There Are Many Reasons To Love SGH": Our Work, Our People, Our Commitment, Our Contribution. Those are short phrases; we can keep them as list items.
We also need to include the EMI team description paragraph.
Now Responsibilities: we need a
- list of each responsibility. The responsibilities list currently is a sentence with items separated by periods. We need to split into list items.
List:
- Work on routine problems independently and on project teams.
- Perform field walkdown assessments of power generation, national defense, industrial, and petrochemical facilities.
- Develop finite element models of structures using commercially available software and perform linear and nonlinear structural analyses using these models.
- Perform seismic soil-structure interaction analyses of building structures.
- Prepare calculations and reports documenting engineering analyses.
- Review work by analysts, technicians, draft
