Are you ready to design some of the most advanced timber structures in North America?

As a Graduate Structural Engineer on our dynamic and growing team, you will contribute to the design of projects with some of North America and Europe’s leading architects. Guided by senior engineers, you will expand your structural engineering skills by designing with the full range of structural materials, including our specialty and passion – mass timber.

StructureCraft is a family-owned business, and our firm, established in 1998, has consistently pushed boundaries in complex geometry, optimization, digital fabrication, material testing and research. We specialize in mass timber structures, long span roofs, tall wood buildings, free-form timber structures and bridges. Our work has been recognized nationally and internationally, including numerous engineering awards for innovation in timber construction.

We are rooted in our mission of “making beautiful structures possible,” which harnesses both traditional principles and paradigm-shifting innovation to bring the inherent properties of materials to their highest use. Our team of master builders – structural engineers, computational designers, design modelers, carpenters, installers, and project managers – operates from offices in Canada, US, and Italy, we partner with world-renowned developers, owners and architects to create structures that are elegant in their own right and that serve the greater good of a community.

Our head office and manufacturing facility is located in the beautiful Fraser Valley in British Columbia, close to the growing Abbotsford airport.  We also have design offices in Vancouver, Seattle, WA and Trento, Italy. While these position openings are primarily based in our Abbotsford headquarters, we are open to applicants to our other locations also.
