Full job description

At TKDA, a 100% employee-owned engineering firm, you'll actually own a piece of every structure you help bring to life. We're looking for a Professional Structural Engineer ready to tackle exciting challenges, from industrial facilities to educational buildings, mining structures to commercial developments.

You'll work out of our Duluth, Minnesota office, collaborating with Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, and Architectural professionals on projects that span Minnesota, Wisconsin, and around the country. One day, you might be analyzing a complex industrial facility, and the next, you're designing structural systems for a university campus or government building.

This isn't just about crunching numbers and running calculations. You'll lead multidisciplinary projects, mentor developing engineers, and build relationships with clients who trust you with their most important structures. Plus, you'll contribute to business development through proposal writing and marketing efforts, helping grow the practice while growing your own career.

Ready to join a team where your structural expertise directly impacts your future ownership? Let's build something great together.
