Careers
In today's design and construction industry, structural engineers are challenged to develop creative solutions to interesting quandaries. As industry trends like sustainability, green design and threat protection grow in popularity, structural engineers have the opportunity to be on the forefront of innovation. Shelley Metz Baumann Hawk thrives on a culture of innovativeness and openness. If you are interested in a career that allows you to work on a diverse range of projects – everything from courthouses and libraries to downtown office buildings and penal institutions, SMBH is the place for you. Our engineers are not pigeon-holed into working on just one type of project, but rather are afforded the opportunity to work on a broad range of projects from start to finish.
We empower our team members and allow them to actively participate in all aspects of a project. Unlike many of our competitors, a principal from the firm is involved on every project and mentors you throughout your career. Founded in 1972, several members of our team have been with the company for more than 20 years. We promote a family-oriented, relaxed, open environment that fosters creativity and innovation.
"I had several important criteria for selecting a structural engineering firm upon completion of my graduate program and SMBH met them all. I knew that this firm would provide me with the opportunity to work with some of the brightest engineers in the field. From the younger staff to the wisest veterans, everyone at the firm is willing to lend you a helping hand at any time and everyone's contribution to the company is appreciated. It is clear that SMBH was built by people who love what they do and enjoy seeing their contributions to the community. One thing that sets SMBH apart from other firms is their willingness to develop efficient, economical and structurally sound solutions to projects that other firms would simply turn down because of the project's complexity. Additionally, we see every type of project here and the principals are committed to actively seeking technically challenging work. SMBH stays on top of current trends in the industry and employs cutting-edge design techniques not found in some of the country's largest structural firms."
