A structural engineer for your team, when you need one.
Design, third-party review and consulting for data center, industrial, commercial and residential projects. Remote, by contract or part time.
About
Extra engineering capacity, without a new hire.
Substitute Engineer is a remote structural engineering practice led by a licensed Professional Engineer. It works as an extension of your team: it takes on the calculations, drawings and reviews you don’t have the hours for, and hands them back ready to use.
Every engagement starts with a clear scope and an agreed schedule, and runs on written updates, so working remotely never means working blind.
