A structural engineer designs and analyzes the load-bearing frameworks of buildings, bridges, and other structures, ensuring they can safely withstand gravity, wind, seismic, and other forces. Using AutoCAD and Revit for drafting and structural analysis software like SAP2000 or ETABS for calculations, they verify designs against building codes and collaborate with architects and contractors, often applying project management skills to keep work on schedule. Licensed professional engineers (PE) typically hold this role within civil engineering or construction firms.
