Who We Are We're Holmes US - a structural engineering firm that's anything but boring! With a growing Portland office and roots in New Zealand, we're right at home in a city that's leading the world on sustainable construction and mass timber innovation.

Your Impact:

• Design innovative building structures across multiple materials, with strong exposure to mass timber and CLT in the region that's defining how the world builds with wood
• Apply your expertise in concrete, steel, masonry, and wood on projects ranging from mid-rise residential to civic and commercial
• Collaborate with dynamic project teams across our US and New Zealand network
• Contribute to sustainable and resilient design solutions in a city that takes both extremely seriously

You'll Be A Great Fit If You Have:

• 3-6 years of structural engineering experience
• B.S. or M.S. in Civil/Structural Engineering
• PE license
• Seismic design experience (Cascadia Subduction Zone context is a plus)
• Strong technical and communication skills
• Proficiency in ETABS, SAP, RISA
• A collaborative spirit and problem-solving mindset
