Job Description
Bureau Veritas is a global leader in testing, inspection, and certification services, renowned for its commitment to quality, safety, and environmental compliance. Established over 190 years ago, the company offers expert consulting and technical solutions across a wide range of industries including construction, infrastructure, marine, and energy sectors. With a presence in more than 140 countries, Bureau Veritas delivers innovative services to help clients manage risk, ensure regulatory compliance, and enhance their operational performance. Within the construction and building sectors, Bureau Veritas particularly focuses on structural engineering assessments, seismic risk consulting, and retrofit design services, reinforcing its reputation as a trusted partner in ensuring building safety and resilience.
The current opportunity is for a Structural Engineer with a focus on seismic risk assessment, based in the San Bernadino/Riverside area of California. This position is part-time and as-needed, designed to accommodate project-based assignments that evolve with client requirements. The role is ideal for engineers seeking flexible work arrangements while engaging in meaningful, impactful tasks that contribute to occupant safety and infrastructure integrity in seismically active regions. The engineer will be employed directly by Bureau Veritas and participate in various phases of seismic consulting projects.
The Structural Engineer will primarily be responsible for conducting on-site building evaluations to assess seismic vulnerabilities, analyzing structural systems according to modern and historical codes, and preparing detailed reports that clearly communicate technical findings to stakeholders. The assessments include seismic risk assessments, ASCE 41 Tier 1 evaluations, structural building system surveys, and general seismic and structural inspections. A significant component of the role involves client interaction during on-site visits, gathering critical information, and documenting observations to inform seismic retrofit or repair recommendations while ensuring adherence to Bureau Veritas quality standards.
Candidates with experience in ASCE-41 standards and earthquake damage loss modeling will be at an advantage, as will those familiar with the unique challenges presented by older and historic building types that may have been constructed under previous seismic provisions. This experience is crucial in delivering comprehensive risk assessments and contributing to the design of effective retrofit solutions that enhance building resilience to seismic events.
The engineer must be proficient with structural calculations, capable of working independently in a flexible, project-based environment, and adept in managing multiple tasks to meet deadlines. The role demands travel primarily within California, requiring adaptability and strong organizational skills. Additionally, excellent communication skills are essential for conveying complex technical information effectively to clients and project teams. The use of digital tools, including Microsoft Office and specialized inspection applications, supports efficient data collection and reporting.
In summary, this opportunity at Bureau Veritas offers structural engineers a chance to leverage their seismic expertise in a dynamic, client-facing role that combines fieldwork with technical analysis and reporting. The flexible nature of the assignments allows for a work-life balance tailored to individual preferences, while the breadth of projects provides exposure to diverse building types and seismic scenarios. Joining Bureau Veritas means becoming part of a globally respected organization dedicated to safety, innovation, and professional growth in the engineering consultancy space.
