As a structural engineer, you will design structures that are safe, even during natural disasters like hurricanes, earthquakes, blizzards, and floods.
You will use materials like steel, concrete, aluminum, timber, and plastic, as well as new materials to create designs for different structures.
You will make sure that plans for stadiums, skyscrapers, bridges, amusement park rides, and office buildings are being followed. You will often be on the construction site inspecting the work.
