Company Overview:

10-4 Engineering PLLC is seeking an Entry Level Structural Engineer. 10-4 is a Chicago-based engineering firm recently founded by three licensed structural engineers: Hemal Patel, Gary Powell and Vinod Patel.

Many of their projects have been award-winning designs recognized by the clients and the industry.

Our name, 10-4 Engineering, is derived from the widely used term "10-4," which signifies “message received, taking action”.

  • Work with highly experienced and licensed structural engineers on design of highway and railroad bridges, retaining walls and culverts using Design Manuals and Specifications such as IDOT Bridge Design Manual, Tollway Structure Design Manual, AASHTO and AREMA bridge design specifrications.
  • Perform structural analysis and design calculations using a variety of structural engineering software.
  • Use Microstation CAD software to prepare design sketches and construction drawings.
  • Perform quantity calculations and assist in the preparation of cost estimates and contract plans.
  • Coordinate with other disciplines (roadway, hydraulics, geotech, etc) on structure layouts and details.
  • Visit active construction sites to monitor construction and document progress.

Required Qualifications:
