Structural Engineer Job Description

Structural engineers design buildings and bridges, as well as other structures.

Structural engineers use scientific and mathematical principles to design and construct buildings, bridges, and other structures.

They use their knowledge of geometry, physics, and material properties to design structures.

The structural engineer also designs structural components.

Once the design of the structure is complete, the structural engineer must estimate how it will stand up to the stresses it is subjected to during its lifetime.

The structural engineer must determine whether the structure will withstand a variety of environmental conditions, such as earthquakes, hurricanes, and tornadoes, or gale force winds, fire, flooding, and pollution.
