A design-build firm with 100 employees, specializing in industrial heavy MEP projects, had been outsourcing structural calculations. While this provided flexibility, it was costly—$50,000 per project—and delays from external coordination slowed timelines.
The firm realized that outsourcing structural engineering was no longer cost-effective. Bringing this function in-house would reduce costs, improve turnaround times, and enhance collaboration between the engineering and design teams. However, they had no experience hiring highly specialized engineers and needed a senior licensed structural engineer to lead the transition, along with a mid-level hire to support workload. The business owner was too busy to manage the search and entrusted us to find the right candidates based on our long-standing partnership.
We assessed the firm’s hiring needs, project costs, and structural team goals, defining a targeted search for multi-state licensed engineers in California and Illinois. With a $50K per project outsourcing cost, hiring in-house had to deliver immediate value.
In three months, we sourced and presented a shortlist of top engineers. We provided market insights, salary data, and role benchmarks, helping the firm quickly evaluate the right fit without wasting time on unqualified candidates.
We coordinated communication, prepped both sides, and mediated the offer process to ensure a smooth transition. A senior structural engineer started within four months, followed by a mid-level hire in two more months, cutting structural calculation costs and improving project timelines.
