Benefits
As a multi-discipline firm, Isett provides comprehensive engineering and consulting services including civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, environmental, geotechnical, municipal engineering, surveying, landscape architecture, code enforcement, plan review, construction management, construction materials testing, and grant writing throughout the Mid-Atlantic region.
The Forensic Engineering Department at Isett specializes in evaluating existing buildings and structures that are damaged, distressed, or underperforming. The forensics team then designs practical and constructable repair solutions. We are currently seeking a Structural Design Engineer to support varied repair, renovation, and design projects arising from forensic investigations.
While forensic investigation exposure is part of the role, the primary focus is on structural assessment, analysis, and design
The successful candidate has extensive experience with structural building analysis of existing structures and design of repairs or new, ground-up structures including commercial and residential construction. Prior work with a range of construction materials such as wood, steel, concrete, and masonry is desirable. A background in forensic investigation and failure analysis is ideal but not required.
