STRUCTURAL ENGINEER OF RECORD (P.ENG.)
Do you love structural engineering but find the industry dated?
Do you nerd-out on the structural framing of a building while other people shop?
Are you an experienced and skilled Structural Engineer seeking both impactful work and a balanced life?
If you answered yes, co-elevate might be the right opportunity for you. At co-elevate, we deliver thoughtful, technically sound structural design, while recognizing that life outside of work matters too. We’re building a company rooted in transparency, teamwork, and trust, and we’re looking for a confident Engineer of Record to help lead the way. You’ll be the technical anchor on projects, mentor junior engineers, and collaborate with contractors, architects, and internal teams to deliver excellent work while creating a culture of support and growth.

In your first year at co-elevate, you will become a trusted technical leader- providing engineering oversight on projects, mentoring team members, and helping to strengthen our internal systems and standards. You’ll play a key role in raising the technical bar across the company while building strong relationships with clients and collaborators.
[ a day in the life of a structural engineer at co-elevate ]

Participate in one of co-elevate’s charity causes such as blood drives, toy drives, food drives, or seasonal in-house charity events.
