Amazon is seeking Structural Engineers to join the founding team of the central building engineering function (Building Technical Services) within Global Engineering, Materials, and Sustainability (GEMS). In this role, you will perform the hands-on technical work that keeps Amazon’s buildings safe, compliant, and resilient. You develop, maintain and apply Amazon’s structural standards across Amazon’s building and construction portfolio. You provide subject matter expertise to the internal design, execution, and operations teams.
You will work within a team managing third-party structural peer reviews during construction projects, monitor and assess internal design and standards changes, and work with design and innovation teams to develop the structural design basis for Amazon's network of buildings. You will help drive the shift to an integrated, trusted technical function ensuring building structural integrity at scale, balancing speed and safety by providing technical clarification that unblocks execution teams on proven design standards.

You review third-party peer review logs to understand the health of a project and understand if there are positive or negative trends. You regularly interact with third-party peer reviewers to determine when/if technical arbitration may be necessary. You partner with internal teams to manage the affects of the peer reviews on the construction schedule and project cost, mitigating when able. In the long term, you build tools with tech teams to improve peer review efficiency and allow the program to scale beyond manual efforts.

Mid Level Structural Engineering Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a mid level structural engineering manager job?
Position your existing project experience around ownership and outcomes rather than tasks. Highlight the structural systems you have led, any coordination you have handled across disciplines, and decisions you made without close supervision. Applications that show you have managed scope, schedules, or junior contributors convert better than those that list software skills alone. A portfolio of completed projects with your specific contribution clearly defined strengthens every submission.
Which companies hire mid level structural engineering managers?
Companies hiring mid level structural engineering managers right now include KPFF Consulting Engineers, Simpson Gumpertz & Heger, and ALPINE, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Hiring at this level comes from a wide range of employers, including national engineering consultancies, regional design-build firms, and infrastructure-focused contractors with active project pipelines.
Are there remote mid level structural engineering manager jobs?
Yes, though most roles still require some on-site presence for project coordination and client meetings. About 10% of mid level structural engineering manager openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, with fully remote positions more common at firms that handle documentation, review, and analysis-heavy work rather than field-intensive construction management.
How do I move up to a mid level structural engineering manager role?
Moving into a mid level structural engineering manager role comes from consistently taking on more project responsibility over your early career. Engineers who progress fastest deepen their technical specialty in a structural system or material, volunteer to coordinate with other disciplines, and document measurable outcomes on each project. Building a reputation for delivering on schedule with minimal rework, and gradually taking on mentorship of less experienced colleagues, signals readiness for the mid level title.
Which industries hire the most mid level structural engineering managers?
Mid Level structural engineering manager roles concentrate in Consulting & Professional Services, Technology & Software, and Construction & Real Estate, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors drive consistent hiring at this level because their project volumes require experienced engineers who can manage scopes independently while still operating within larger program teams.
