Tips for Your Assistant Structural Engineer Job Search
Tailor your resume to project types
Highlight the specific structural systems you've worked on, whether steel, concrete, or timber framing. Firms hiring assistant structural engineers want to see project types that match their portfolio, so generic resumes get overlooked fast.
List your software skills precisely
Name the exact versions and applications you've used: ETABS, SAP2000, RISA, Revit Structure, or AutoCAD. Hiring managers scan for these terms, and vague references to 'structural analysis software' won't get you past the first screening.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists assistant structural engineer openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Pursue your EIT credential immediately
Many firms list Engineer-in-Training certification as a requirement, not a preference. If you haven't sat the Fundamentals of Engineering exam yet, do it before applying so your resume clears the minimum bar on most postings.
Prepare a project portfolio with calculations
Bring or link to a sample calculation set or design report from a real or academic project. Interviewers for assistant-level structural roles often ask you to walk through your engineering process, not just describe what you built.
Negotiate your PE exam support upfront
Ask directly whether the firm covers your PE exam fees and study materials during the offer stage. Many engineering firms include this, but it's rarely listed in the posting, and it's easier to negotiate before you accept than after.
Assistant Structural Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most assistant structural engineers?
Burns & McDonnell, WSP, and Horner & Shifrin are hiring the most assistant structural engineers right now, with openings concentrated in Missouri, California, and New York, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Volume tends to track large infrastructure and commercial development activity in those states.
How many assistant structural engineer jobs are remote?
About 0% of assistant structural engineer openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, which is lower than many engineering disciplines because the role often requires reviewing physical drawings and collaborating on-site. The sub-areas most likely to offer remote flexibility are peer review, code compliance checking, and report writing.
How do you become an assistant structural engineer?
Start by earning a bachelor's degree in civil or structural engineering from an ABET-accredited program. Sit the Fundamentals of Engineering exam as soon as you graduate to earn your EIT credential. Build familiarity with structural analysis software through coursework or personal projects, then apply for entry-level positions at engineering consulting firms, government agencies, or construction companies.
How do you get hired as an assistant structural engineer with little experience?
Focus your applications on firms that explicitly recruit new graduates and offer structured mentorship toward PE licensure. Highlight senior design projects, internship work, or any structural analysis you completed independently. Firms evaluating junior candidates weight your software skills and EIT status heavily when direct project experience is limited, so lead with both on your resume.
What does the assistant structural engineer interview process look like?
Most firms start with a phone or video screen focused on your academic background and software experience. A technical interview follows, where you may be asked to walk through a past project, explain a load path, or solve a simplified structural problem. Final-round interviews typically include a meeting with a senior engineer or project manager to assess how you'd fit into an active project team.
