Senior Structural Engineer (Remote)

Ballpark Engineering is a PE-stamped engineering firm based in Mountain Green, Utah. We deliver PE-stamped drawings, foundation packages, and PE review for contractors, developers, and real estate professionals across UT, ID, WY, CO, NV, AZ, and MT.

Founded by Jaiden Olsen, PE. Many of our engineers built before they designed. That matters. It means designs that actually build, accurate to your local code, without over-engineering.

We move fast. We communicate like real people. We’ve invested heavily in proprietary tools and AI-assisted workflows so a small team delivers the volume and quality of a much larger firm. Our systems focus on engineering, people, and quality. Not admin.

Our trained team of drafters, optimized with the AI tools we’ve built in house, handles the production work. Our engineers handle the work that actually requires a PE.

Ballpark Engineering is hiring a senior remote PE or SE to take real weight off the founder’s plate and help us scale. This is a production and stamp role. You will own projects end to end, mentor an EIT, and stamp deliverables across multiple states. You will not be a backseat engineer.

Remote at BPE does not mean low expectations. It means we trust you to produce, communicate, and deliver without supervision. We hire remote engineers who would have been our top performers in person, and we treat them that way.

You became a structural engineer because you actually like engineering. Then somewhere along the way, the week got buried under Revit edits, markup cycles, and emails you don’t have time to answer.

That is not the role we are hiring for.

At Ballpark, our engineers spend most of their week on engineering judgment and direct client work. Our trained team of drafters, optimized with the AI tools we’ve built in house, handles the production grind. Internal AI tools handle the repeatable work.

You focus on the part of the job AI does not replace: the calls that take engineering judgment, the conversations with the contractor, and your name on the final drawings.

Three conversations, decisions within three weeks. We move fast and we’re honest about the steps.

1. Short AI-assisted intake. Upload your resume and answer a few questions about your experience, licensure, and what you’re looking for in your next role.
2. Conversation with Lori Trimble, Head of Strategy, Tech and Systems. Culture fit, working style, and what you want from your career.
3. Final conversation with Jaiden Olsen, PE, Founder and Principal Engineer. Technical depth, project ownership, and a real conversation about the work.

If both sides see a fit, we make an offer. No eight-stage corporate runaround.
