DESCRIPTION
AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we're the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensures our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we're looking for talented people who want to help.
You'll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You'll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you'll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.
Amazon is seeking an experienced Senior Structural Engineer to join our Mechanical Products and Services team. This essential role will support the analysis, design, coordination, and documentation of structural cooling products used to support AWS infrastructure. The ideal candidate has experience in structural steel and connection design, industrial structures, and structural analysis. Experience with computational design, BIM coordination, and standardized structural systems is preferred.

Structural Engineer Jobs in Georgia: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a structural engineer in Georgia?
To become a licensed structural engineer in Georgia, you must earn a bachelor's degree in civil or structural engineering from an ABET-accredited program, pass the Fundamentals of Engineering exam to become an Engineer in Training, and accumulate qualifying experience before sitting for the Principles and Practice of Engineering exam. The Georgia State Board of Registration for Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors issues the Professional Engineer license required to sign and seal structural drawings in the state.
Which companies hire structural engineers in Georgia?
Employers hiring structural engineers in Georgia right now include Parsons, Lockheed Martin, and ENERCON SERVICES, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Georgia's combination of large-scale infrastructure investment, a booming commercial real estate market in metro Atlanta, and active port and military construction in coastal and central regions keeps a broad range of engineering firms and public agencies hiring year-round.
Which Georgia cities have the most structural engineer jobs?
Atlanta, Marietta, and Kennesaw account for the largest share of structural engineer openings in Georgia. Atlanta dominates because it is home to major engineering firm offices, a dense concentration of commercial and mixed-use development, and Georgia DOT headquarters, while Savannah's growth reflects ongoing port expansion and industrial construction, and Augusta draws openings tied to Fort Eisenhower and healthcare campus development.
Are there remote structural engineer jobs in Georgia?
Yes, but they're rare. Structural engineering is largely a field-adjacent role that requires site visits, coordination with contractors, and hands-on plan review, which limits full remote options. About 52% of structural engineer openings tied to Georgia are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, and those positions tend to involve computational analysis, preliminary design, or project management tasks that do not require daily site presence.
How can I get hired as a structural engineer in Georgia with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for entry-level engineer or engineer-in-training roles at Georgia DOT or with mid-size consulting firms in Atlanta that actively recruit new graduates from Georgia Tech, Auburn, or other regional programs. Building a portfolio of academic or personal structural design projects helps, as does obtaining EIT certification early. Adjacent roles such as construction inspector or CAD technician at firms like RS&H or Atkins can also provide a foothold for candidates transitioning into structural work.
Where can I find and apply to structural engineer jobs in Georgia?
You can find and apply to structural engineer jobs in Georgia on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers actively hiring in the state. Find the roles that fit your experience and specialty and apply directly through the listings.
