Structural engineering services for AEC firms.
We place dedicated remote structural engineers who work under your EOR’s direction, in your software environment, and to your documentation standards, so your licensed engineers can focus on design decisions and stamped deliverables.
Trusted by US-based teams · 120+ firms
Hire experienced structural engineers
Senior structural engineers handling calculations, framing design, lateral analysis, connection details in ETABS, SAP2000, RISA for commercial buildings, mid-rise residential, and industrial facilities.
— WHY OUTSOURCE STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING SERVICES
Three patterns we see over and over.
Your PEs are producing when they should be reviewing
When your structural engineers spend their days in ETABS and drafting framing plans, your firm's output is capped by their hours. Dedicated production support changes that ratio.
You've tried outsourcing and the models came back wrong
Incorrect load assumptions, drawings in someone else's standard, no continuity between projects. Our talent is vetted for your tools and US code exposure, and stays assigned to your firm.
Your structural workload doesn't justify a full-time hire
Engineering workloads don't distribute evenly. We give you qualified talent when you need it, on flexible terms, without a long-term headcount commitment.

— STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING TALENT PLACEMENT PROCESS
A better experience for engineering firms
We built this process specifically for structural and engineering firms. No generic intake forms, no recruiter who doesn’t understand your discipline.
Tell us what you need
We discuss your project pipeline, the structural systems your projects involve, the analysis software your team uses, and how the new talent will integrate with your PE's workflow.
We build your shortlist
We match you with two to three vetted structural engineers screened for your project type, analysis software, and US code familiarity. You receive profiles with experience summaries and examples of calculation packages and drawing sets they've produced.
Interview and choose
Ask them to walk through a project, explain how they'd set up a lateral analysis model, or describe how they document load combinations for PE review. If none are the right fit, we keep searching.
Seamless team integration
Your new structural engineer gets access to your project files, calculation templates, and communication channels. First day includes a walkthrough of your documentation standards and active project status. Our CS team checks in regularly.
— NEARSHORE STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING ADVANTAGES
Why engineering firms choose BetterPros for structural support
01 / 03
Works under your EOR, not independently
Design authority and stamped deliverables stay with your licensed engineer. Our talent provides production capacity, not independent judgment.
02 / 03
Vetted for analysis software and US code exposure
We test for ETABS, SAP2000, and Revit Structure proficiency, and verify familiarity with ASCE 7, IBC, and ACI 318. Demonstrating it is what passes our screening.
03 / 03
We handle contracts, payroll, and compliance
Zero legal exposure on your end. You manage the engineering work, we handle everything else.
FAQs: know more about our structural engineering services
Can your engineers stamp or seal structural drawings?
No. Our structural engineers provide production support under the direction of your licensed PE or Engineer of Record. All design authority, code interpretations, and stamped deliverables remain with your EOR.
What structural systems does your talent have experience with?
Concrete (cast-in-place and post-tensioned), structural steel, light gauge steel framing, wood framing, and masonry. During screening, we confirm candidates have relevant experience with the structural systems your projects typically involve.
How does the daily workflow with my PE actually look?
Your structural engineer works directly under your PE or project lead, aligns on priorities through a short daily check-in, works through assigned tasks in your project files, and flags questions in real time via Slack or Teams. Your PE reviews, marks up, and directs.
What US codes does your talent work with?
Our structural engineers have exposure to IBC, ASCE 7, ACI 318, AISC 360, NDS, and common local amendments. They work under your PE’s direction and code interpretation, adapting to your project-specific requirements with proper guidance.
Can they coordinate structural models with architectural and MEP teams?
Yes. Multi-discipline BIM coordination including structural model management in Revit, clash detection in Navisworks, and coordination with architectural and MEP teams in BIM 360 or ACC is part of the standard skillset we vet for.
What project types have your structural engineers worked on?
Residential (single-family, multi-family, mid-rise), commercial (office, retail, mixed-use), institutional (schools, healthcare, civic), and industrial projects. During our initial call, we ask about your project types and match accordingly.
What analysis software does your talent work with?
ETABS, SAP2000, RISA-3D, RAM Structural System, Enercalc, and SpaceGass for analysis. Revit Structure, Tekla Structures, and AutoCAD for modeling and drafting. We match candidates to the specific software your firm uses during screening.
Can I bring on a structural engineer for one project and continue from there?
Yes. Most firms start with one engineer on a specific project to validate the model. No minimum commitments and no lock-in contracts.
What if the engineer isn't the right technical fit?
We replace them at no additional cost. If the match isn’t right after onboarding, we find someone who fits better.
