Full Description

Bureau Veritas is seeking qualified Structural Engineers with a Seismic focus for full-time seismic risk assessment consulting and limited structural repair/seismic retrofit design. This role emphasizes hands-on, client-facing on-site building assessments and preparation of detailed, technically sound reports. Knowledge of older or historic building types and former seismic code provisions is a plus. Special consideration will be given to applicants with expertise in ASCE-41 and earthquake damage loss models. California PE licensure or path to licensure required – California location preferred. The role requires travel to client sites across the U.S. (primarily California), performing on-site evaluations and seismic risk assessments and structural forensics investigations, and producing reports that clearly communicate technical findings to clients. Key Responsibilities: • Conduct client-facing on-site assessments and prepare written reports accurately describing findings, including but not limited to: • Seismic Risk Assessments (SRAs) • ASCE 41 Tier 1 Reports • Structural Building Systems Assessments (BSAs) • General seismic and structural surveys • Perform structural calculations in accordance with modern and historic building codes to support investigations or limited seismic retrofit projects. • Conduct on-site reconnaissance, including visual observations, plan reviews, and evaluation of existing reports. • Interview property owners, tenants, service providers, and local government representatives to collect key site information. • Provide photographic documentation and field notes for use in reports. • Conduct research, including building department records and online resources, to supplement on-site findings. • Ensure reports meet client-specific scopes of work and Bureau Veritas quality standards. • Manage project communication with internal teams and clients, updating progress, findings, and report delivery timelines. • Apply technical expertise and judgment to adjust the scope or reporting approach based on site conditions or project requirements. • Participate in limited structural repair or seismic retrofit design projects as required. Minimum Qualifications: • Bachelor’s degree in Civil or Structural Engineering from an accredited university. • 3 - 7 years of seismic engineering experience, including: • 3+ years of seismic design and analysis of buildings • 2+ years of seismic risk assessment of buildings (experience may overlap with above) • Preferred: Professional Engineer (PE) license, or on a path to licensure. • Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record. • Solid understanding of modern building codes, seismic provisions, and historic code requirements. • Excellent written and verbal communication skills; ability to convey complex technical information to clients. • Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite, inspection tools, smartphone apps, and related software. • Ability to manage multiple projects concurrently while delivering quality work on time. • Self-motivated and able to work independently. Preferred Skills: • Familiarity with ASCE-41 and earthquake damage loss modeling. • Experience with performance-based seismic design and retrofit strategies. • Knowledge of historic building types and older code provisions. Physical Requirements: • Ability to read, write, speak, and comprehend English. • Ability to communicate clearly in person and over the phone. • Visual acuity sufficient for office and on-site duties, including reading printed materials and screens. • Frequent bending, reaching, standing, walking, sitting, pushing, and pulling throughout the workday. • Ability to climb ladders and navigate job-site environments safely. Why Join Bureau Veritas: • Work on high-profile projects across diverse building types in seismically active regions. • Focus on client-facing on-site assessments and detailed seismic/structural reporting. • Collaborative and innovative environment with professional development opportunities. • Competitive compensation and benefits.
