Job Description

Are you driven by curiosity and motivated to solve complex building challenges? A respected engineering consultancy with a national footprint is looking for a Consulting Engineer to join its Building Technology group in Los Angeles. This team focuses on the design, evaluation, and repair of building envelope systems-walls, roofs, windows, waterproofing, and more. The work blends technical design with hands-on investigation, offering a unique opportunity to impact how buildings perform and endure.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys variety: one day might involve climbing scaffolding to inspect a curtain wall, the next could be spent drafting repair details or consulting with architects. You'll manage small to mid-sized projects, mentor junior staff, and collaborate with clients, contractors, and design teams. The position involves travel to job sites and requires comfort working at heights and in the field

Responsibilities

  • Lead investigations into building envelope failures and performance issues.
  • Design repairs for existing systems including roofs, walls, windows, and waterproofing.
  • Conduct field testing and sampling of envelope components.
  • Assist architects and contractors with design and construction-phase consulting.
  • Document existing conditions and prepare technical reports and drawings.
  • Provide mentorship and on-the-job training to junior engineers and staff.
  • Participate in peer reviews and contribute to quality assurance efforts.
  • Support litigation cases involving building envelope issues.
  • Travel to job sites by car, train, or air, including locations not accessible by public transit.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Architecture, Civil Engineering, or Architectural Engineering (Master's preferred).
  • Minimum 5 years of experience in building envelope design, investigation, or construction management.
  • Professional Engineer (P.E.) or Registered Architect (R.A.) license required.
  • Strong communication skills and ability to work collaboratively.
  • Proficiency in technical writing and graphic documentation.
  • Experience in curtain wall design, historic preservation, or rope access is a plus.
  • Ability to meet deadlines and manage multiple projects.
  • Must be able to travel and work at heights.
