Your role at GEI.
GEI is seeking an experienced structural engineer to join our dams and water resources consulting practice. Dams, reservoirs, hydroelectric developments, and other water resources facilities are crucial components of our nation’s infrastructure, providing clean energy, water supply, and flood control. GEI serves public and private clients operating some of the largest and most interesting water resources projects in the world. Our roles include designing new facilities, upgrading existing developments, evaluating safety, and assessing risks.

- Analyze and design other facilities as needed, including foundations, retaining walls, temporary works, and special structures.
- Develop and evaluate alternatives for new facilities and upgrades to existing projects.
- Complete detailed design calculations and prepare contract documents and technical specifications.
- Inspect ongoing dam and water resources construction projects for conformance with design requirements.
- Inspect existing projects as part of regulatory compliance programs (e.g., FERC Part 12D).
- Participate in semi-quantitative risk analysis workshops.
- Prepare formal written reports, give presentations, and participate in internal and client meetings.
- Prepare scopes of work, budgets, and schedules.
Minimum Qualifications
- B.S. in Civil Engineering from an accredited program.
- 7 to 15+ years’ experience in structural engineering related to dams and water resources structures.
- Professional Engineer licensure or the ability to obtain licensure within one year of hire.
- Experience with structural analysis software (SAP2000/STAAD/RISA/ANSYS, etc.) and AutoCAD.
- Excellent verbal and written communications skills.
- Valid driver’s license.
- Ability to travel on temporary assignments.
- Willingness and ability to work in the field and in inclement weather.
Desired Qualifications
- Experience managing multi-discipline design projects.
- Experience in analysis and design of hydraulic structures.
- M.S. in Structural Engineering.
- Experience with Revit modeling or BIM.
- Structural Engineer licensure.

Which companies sponsor visas for structural engineers in New Hampshire?
Engineering and infrastructure firms are the primary sponsors for structural engineers in New Hampshire. Companies like TF Moran, Hoyle Tanner & Associates, and Tighe & Bond have hired internationally for licensed and unlicensed structural roles. Larger national firms with New Hampshire offices, including AECOM and Stantec, have established H-1B sponsorship track records through federal and state transportation contracts.
Which visa types are most common for structural engineer roles in New Hampshire?
The H-1B is the most common visa for structural engineers in New Hampshire, as the role typically meets the specialty occupation standard requiring a bachelor's degree or higher in civil or structural engineering. Engineers with exceptional credentials may qualify for the O-1A. Canadian and Mexican engineers should note TN visa eligibility under USMCA, which covers engineers without the H-1B lottery.
Which cities in New Hampshire have the most structural engineer sponsorship jobs?
Manchester is New Hampshire's largest city and the primary hub for structural engineering firms and sponsored roles. Concord, as the state capital, sees demand tied to government infrastructure projects. Bedford and Portsmouth also host engineering offices serving commercial and coastal development. Most international hires in the state are concentrated in the Manchester-Concord corridor and the Seacoast region.
How to find structural engineer visa sponsorship jobs in New Hampshire?
Migrate Mate filters job listings specifically by visa sponsorship availability, making it straightforward to find structural engineer roles in New Hampshire without sifting through positions that don't offer sponsorship. You can search by state and role type to surface openings from engineering firms, transportation agencies, and national consultancies actively hiring international candidates for structural positions in the state.
Are there state-specific considerations for structural engineers seeking sponsorship in New Hampshire?
New Hampshire requires a Professional Engineer license for signing and sealing structural drawings, though international candidates can work under a licensed PE while pursuing their own licensure. The state's active bridge rehabilitation program under NHDOT creates recurring demand. University of New Hampshire graduates in civil engineering enter the local talent pipeline, but firms handling federal and NHDOT contracts frequently look beyond that pool for specialized structural expertise.
What is the prevailing wage for sponsored structural engineer jobs in New Hampshire?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
