Who We Are: We're Holmes US - a structural engineering firm that's anything but boring! With offices across the West Coast and roots in New Zealand, we're known for pushing boundaries and taking on projects that make other firms say, "Wait, how did they do that?"

Our team takes pride in creating spaces where people come together to cheer, play, and connect. From regional community hubs to athletic venues, Holmes is where creativity and collaboration meet engineering excellence. 
 
(And don’t worry—you don’t need to know the offside rule or memorize batting averages for this job. We’re here for the structures, not the scores!) 

 

Your Impact:

  • Mentor junior team members and foster a collaborative environment that aligns with Holmes' commitment to learning and growth. 
  • Partner with clients and community members to ensure our projects are functional, sustainable, and impactful. 

  

You'll Be A Great Fit If You Have:

  • 4–6 years of experience in structural engineering, with a focus on sports and recreation projects, or similar projects 
  • Experience working with a variety of materials, including steel, concrete, timber, and light gauge steel. 
  • Strong understanding of building codes, seismic and wind design. 
  • Proven ability to guide multiple projects, coordinate with multidisciplinary teams, and deliver innovative solutions within project constraints
