Civil Engineer

Human Capital Solutions, Inc., Columbia, SC, United States


Civil / Structural Engineer (PE) – Break Out of Traditional Design Work

If you’re a structural engineer who enjoys solving problems—but are tired of doing the same design work over and over—this could be a very different (and rewarding) path.
We’re working with a

consulting engineering firm

that specializes in

forensic engineering and structural investigations —and they’re growing.

Why Engineers Make the Move:
Pay for performance

– your output and expertise directly impact your earnings
Work/life balance

– no constant deadline-driven production cycles
Flexible schedule

– more control over your time and workload
Variety of work

– every project is different (failures, defects, storm damage, etc.)
Client-facing role

– not stuck behind a desk all day
Work alongside professionals in the

legal and insurance fields
Opportunity to build

expert-level credibility

in your field

What You’ll Do:
Investigate

structural failures, construction defects, and property damage
Conduct

site inspections

and analyze structural systems
Determine

cause of damage or failure
Prepare clear, well-supported engineering reports
Communicate findings with clients, attorneys, and insurance professionals

Background We’re Seeking:
Civil/Structural Engineer (PE required)
5+ years of structural engineering experience
Experience in building design, construction, or structural analysis

No prior forensic experience required—many successful engineers come from

traditional design backgrounds .
