Structural Office Lead (Mission Critical / Data Centers)

A rapidly scaling, design-led structural engineering firm is hiring a Structural Office Lead to build and lead the Midwest structural team, with a primary focus on Mission Critical / Data Center projects. This firm is looking to build offices across Ohio, Indiana, Missouri and Kansas, the first step is bringing on a Structural Lead and a team of Structural Engineers across these 4 states.

Founded 20 years ago and grown from 3 to 350 people, the firm is executing an ambitious expansion plan to reach 1,000 employees in the next 5 years. This role sits at the intersection of technical excellence, client leadership, and people-building-ideal for someone who wants to shape a market, not just deliver projects.

This is a true "builder" role: you will establish the Midwest structural presence, lead high-profile mission critical programs, and create a team culture that attracts and develops top engineering talent.

Why This Role / Why Now

1) Build an office, not just a book of work

You'll be empowered to set direction locally - hiring, mentorship, technical standards, delivery strategy, and growth planning - while leveraging the scale, brand, and operational support of a 350-person organization.

2) Fast, visible progression (backed by real examples)

Promotion is not a slogan here: 50 people were promoted to senior positions last year alone. The leadership team has created a culture where high performance is recognized quickly, and scope grows with capability.

3) Mission Critical is a career accelerator

Data centers and mission critical work offer unique advantages for senior engineers and leaders:

• Repeatable programs and long-term clients (multi-site pipelines)
• High technical rigor (robust lateral systems, vibration criteria, progressive collapse, equipment loads, constructability constraints)
• Schedule-driven delivery that rewards strong leadership and streamlined decision-making
• Clear specialization path into market leadership, client advisory, and program oversight

If you enjoy fast-paced delivery, high stakeholder engagement, and building systems that scale, mission critical is on...
