Structural Engineer Jobs in Mississippi

A Structural Engineer plays a crucial role in the engineering industry, primarily responsible for designing, planning, and overseeing the construction of new buildings and bridges, or alterations and extensions to existing properties or other structures. Their job involves ensuring that structures are safe and strong enough to resist all types of stresses and pressures imposed through environmental conditions and human use. They use their expertise in materials and physics, along with a deep understanding of load-bearing properties, to ensure the integrity and durability of each project.

Important skills for a structural engineer include problem-solving, mathematical skills, an understanding of physics, creativity, and the ability to work under pressure. Proficiency in using CAD software and other industry-specific tools is also crucial for this role. Structural Engineers are expected to have a degree in Civil or Structural Engineering and often need to be licensed Professional Engineers (PE). Some may also possess a Structural Engineering Certification (SEC) or other relevant postgraduate qualifications. Prior to becoming a Structural Engineer, a person may have experience as a Civil Engineer, Junior Structural Engineer, or Structural Design Engineer.
