Job Description

Company Overview:

10-4 Engineering PLLC is seeking an Entry Level Structural Engineer. 10-4 is a Chicago-based engineering firm recently founded by three licensed structural engineers: Hemal Patel, Gary Powell and Vinod Patel.

Many of their projects have been award-winning designs recognized by the clients and the industry.

Our name, 10-4 Engineering, is derived from the widely used term "10-4," which signifies “message received, taking action”. Similarly, we embody the principles of direct communication and decisive action in designing infrastructure. Besides technical competence, we place a high value on these two principles when it comes to successful project execution and delivery. Welcome to a place where every challenge is met with a resounding "10-4".

You will receive the proper experience, guidance and mentoring to obtain PE and SE licenses early in your career.

  • Assist in bridge, retaining wall and culvert inspections; collect and analyze data from reports, drawings and photographs to assess structural condition and load-carrying capacity of existing structures.

  • Work with highly experienced and licensed structural engineers on design of highway and railroad bridges, retaining walls and culverts using Design Manuals and Specifications such as IDOT Bridge Design Manual, Tollway Structure Design Manual, AASHTO and AREMA bridge design specifrications.
  • Perform structural analysis and design calculations using a variety of structural engineering software.
  • Use Microstation CAD software to prepare design sketches and construction drawings.
  • Perform quantity calculations and assist in the preparation of cost estimates and contract plans.
  • Coordinate with other disciplines (roadway, hydraulics, geotech, etc) on structure layouts and details.
  • Visit active construction sites to monitor construction and document progress.

Required Qualifications:
