Structural Engineer

Job Description For Posting

Our Protective Design & Security team prioritizes the protection of life and assets by mitigating consequences of security risks in the built environment. With more than 75 years of experience, our risk-led and strategic solutions safeguard people, property, and operations from intentional harm, evolving and emerging threats.

Whether safeguarding a cultural landmark, securing a healthcare facility, or planning for crowd safety at a major event, our approach is grounded in intelligence, simulation, and human-centered design to deliver resilient solutions with demonstrable performance and lasting impact.

Within our practice, you’ll be develop knowledge on how risk-based design brings together security planning, physical security, and electronic security to develop layered protection strategies. You’ll support the development of performance-based solutions—from secure site planning to physical hardening, access control, surveillance, and detection—and how these measures integrate with security operations.

Your Role

As a Structural Engineer in our Protective Design & Security practice, you will support risk-based engineering and physical security design that strengthens the safety, resilience, and security of buildings and infrastructure. You will apply threat-informed engineering to structural hardening, blast effects, and progressive collapse, helping connect protective measures with architecture, site design, electronic security, and operations across buildings, campuses, and mixed-use environments. With support from your team, you will work in a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment while developing technical, analytical, and project coordination skills.

What You'll Do

• Support protective design concepts and design studies involving blast effects, progressive collapse, structural hardening, and risk-informed design.
• Assist with analysis, modeling, and calculation tasks as well as the integration of structural and physical security measures into project designs.
• Help prepare diagrams, calculations, technical narratives, presentations, and design documentation that communicate protection measures clearly.
• Coordinate with architects, engineers, planners, and security specialists in a multidisciplinary team environment.
• Participate in on-site assessments, field surveys, and construction-phase activities.
• Build familiarity with TT’s culture, services, and collaborative working style while growing your technical and professional skills.

What You'll Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in structural or civil engineering, or a closely related field; master’s degree preferred.
• Interest in protective design, security, resilience, and hazard-resistant engineering.
• Strong analytical, written, and verbal communication skills.
• Familiarity with design, visualization, documentation and computational tools such as Revit, AutoCAD, Rhino/Grasshopper, Adobe Creative Suite, Bluebeam, SAP2000, ETABS, or similar platforms is preferred.
• Ability to obtain a U.S. security clearance.
