Responsibilities:
- Perform structural analysis and design for tool installation support systems, including equipment frames, platforms, anchors, racks, lateral supports, and associated steel or concrete modifications within semiconductor fab environments.
- Develop design calculations, assumptions, load path evaluations, and basis-of-design documentation for tool hookup and facility modification scopes, ensuring constructability and code compliance.
- Prepare and review structural drawings, 3D models, details, and connection concepts for cleanroom, subfab, and utility-adjacent installations that support process equipment integration.
- Coordinate closely with project managers, discipline leads, and cross-discipline project teams to align structural scope, sequencing, and delivery requirements.
- Participate in design reviews, model coordination meetings, and issue-resolution sessions through pre-design, design development, IFC release, and construction administration.
- Support clash and interface resolution between structural elements and adjacent systems such as piping, cable tray, equipment anchors, access clearances, and maintenance pathways.
- Evaluate field conditions, verify existing infrastructure where required, and incorporate site walk findings into design revisions, repair recommendations, and installation strategies.
- Apply QA/QC procedures to calculations, drawings, and models, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and alignment with internal standards, client requirements, and applicable codes.
- Track design changes and support change control by documenting impacts to scope, cost, constructability, and schedule, especially when revisions affect tool installation sequencing or safety.
- Mentor junior engineers and drafters by reviewing work, sharing best practices, and helping strengthen technical judgment, documentation quality, and coordination habits.
- Bachelor’s degree in Civil or Structural Engineering from an ABET-accredited institution.
- Active Professional Engineer (PE) license or eligibility to obtain by reciprocity within six months of hire.
- Minimum 5+ years of structural engineering experience, preferably supporting semiconductor, cleanroom, industrial, or high-technology facility projects.
- Demonstrated proficiency in Revit, BIM coordination workflows, and Autodesk Construction Cloud platform.
- Strong experience in structural analysis, design calculations, and preparation of construction documents for equipment support steel, anchor design, and facility modification work.
- Proficiency with relevant structural modeling and design software, drafting/model review workflows, and coordination tools used in multidisciplinary project delivery.
- Solid understanding of steel, concrete, anchorage, load transfer, equipment support design, and interface requirements in active or mission-critical facilities.
- Working knowledge of applicable building codes, engineering standards, and safety requirements relevant to semiconductor fab and tool installation projects.
- Demonstrated ability to manage design coordination across multiple disciplines, respond effectively to client comments, and resolve technical issues in a fast-paced project environment.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to produce clear technical documentation and collaborate confidently with stakeholders.
- Salary Range: $130,000 - $180,000/year depending on location, education, depth of relevant experience, and any specialized licensure/certifications. Opportunity for ample rewards, leadership incentive components, and generous bonus opportunities.

Structural Engineer Jobs in Oregon: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a structural engineer in Oregon?
You become a structural engineer in Oregon by earning an accredited bachelor's degree in civil or structural engineering, passing the Fundamentals of Engineering exam, accumulating qualifying experience, and then passing the Principles and Practice of Engineering exam to obtain licensure through the Oregon State Board of Examiners for Engineering and Land Surveying. Oregon also accepts reciprocal licensure from other states for engineers already licensed elsewhere.
Which companies hire structural engineers in Oregon?
Oregon structural engineer roles are posted by Cushing Terrell, SSOE, and WSP and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Oregon's mix of infrastructure agencies, seismic retrofit programs, and commercial development firms means openings appear across both large national engineering firms and regional practices headquartered in Portland.
Which Oregon cities have the most structural engineer jobs?
Portland, Tualatin, and Lake Oswego have the most structural engineer openings in Oregon. Portland leads because it concentrates the state's largest engineering firms, major public infrastructure agencies, and commercial development activity, while Salem and Eugene generate steady demand through state government projects, university facilities work, and regional transportation programs.
Are there remote structural engineer jobs in Oregon?
Yes, but they're limited. Structural engineering is primarily a field-dependent discipline requiring site visits, coordination with contractors, and hands-on document review, so most roles are on-site or hybrid. About 72% of structural engineer openings tied to Oregon are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, and the roles most likely to offer flexibility are those focused on analysis, calculations, and report writing rather than active construction administration.
How can I get hired as a structural engineer in Oregon with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for engineer-in-training or junior structural engineer positions at Oregon-based firms such as KPFF, Kleinfelder, or mid-size civil engineering firms with Portland or Eugene offices that regularly recruit new graduates. Oregon State University and the University of Oregon both feed graduates into local firm pipelines, so campus recruiting events are worth pursuing. Passing the Fundamentals of Engineering exam before graduating gives candidates a concrete edge, and building a portfolio of academic or personal structural projects helps when competing for roles that list experience as preferred rather than required.
Where can I find and apply to structural engineer jobs in Oregon?
You can find and apply to structural engineer jobs in Oregon on Migrate Mate, which lists current Oregon openings. Search the listings, find roles that fit your experience and location, and apply directly to the ones that match.
