About this role
Lumos & Associates is building out their Sacramento office and seeking a Structural Engineering Project Manager to lead this expansion. You'd be responsible for establishing the firm's presence in the market—developing new business, managing client relationships, and overseeing project delivery across diverse work types. This combines technical leadership (you'll provide design oversight and quality assurance), people management (coaching and mentoring staff), and business development (proposals, budgets, and repeat client work). You'd serve as the primary client contact and drive both project execution and growth initiatives.
The role demands seven years of progressive structural consulting experience, a California P.E. license, and ideally an S.E. license as well. You'll need strong communication skills, solid grasp of Revit and AutoCAD, and proven ability to manage budgets, build teams, and balance multiple priorities simultaneously. This is for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, has successfully led staff before, and sees business development as core to the job—not an add-on.
The position is full-time and in-office in Sacramento, with compensation between $140,000 and $185,000. Benefits include health and dental coverage, a matched 401(k), PTO, paid holidays, and disability insurance.
