Frequently asked questions
What does a Structural Engineer do day-to-day?
Structural Engineers design and analyze building systems to ensure safety, stability, and code compliance. Daily work includes reviewing architectural plans, performing load calculations, creating detailed drawings and specifications, coordinating with other disciplines (mechanical, electrical, foundation), conducting site visits, and preparing engineering reports and documentation for permit submissions and construction.
What certifications or licenses do I need?
A Professional Engineer (PE) license is highly valued and often required for public-facing projects and permit stamp authority. Most positions require a Bachelor's degree in civil or structural engineering plus 4+ years of relevant experience. Many employers also seek experience with specific software platforms like Revit, SAP2000, or ETABS, and familiarity with local building codes in your jurisdiction.
