Washington, United States Simpson Gumpertz and Heger Inc Full time
Do you want to work for one of the top engineering firms in the country?

Simpson Gumpertz & Heger (SGH) is a national engineering firm committed to delivering holistic advice for our clients' most complex challenges. We leverage our collective and diverse experience, technical expertise, and industry knowledge of structures and building enclosures, advanced analysis, code consulting, and applied science & research to deliver unrivaled, comprehensive solutions that drive superior performance. With more than 700 employees in eight office locations throughout the United States, SGH's industry-leading teams constantly seek to advance the meaning of what's possible.

We want someone passionate about technical leadership and business development.

SGH is seeking a Principal-level leader to participate in the growth and development of its Fire Engineering Division within the Engineering Mechanics and Infrastructure (EMI) Group in the Washington DC office.

SGH's Fire Engineering Division is expanding the reach of its current technical strengths to grow in new practice areas. As part of this process, SGH seeks to employ a nationally recognized technical expert with a proven business track record who will assist in perpetuating the Fire Engineering Division's success by advancing our growth vision.

SGH's Fire Engineering Division provides leading-edge technology and performance-based engineering in a variety of code consulting and fire life safety services that are directly responsive to project-based client needs. The SGH Principal candidate will have technical expertise in the application of subject matter such as fire dynamics, structural fire engineering, computational fluid dynamics, risk and reliability, forensics, and materials science to the evaluation, design, and repair of complex buildings and structures.

The Principal will develop business and deliver projects through client relationships, strategic marketing, project management, and technical expertise. He/she will market, organize, coordinate, and execute project assignments of various sizes which leverage the engineering skillsets of SGH personnel. This individual will lead, support, mentor, and train staff, and will work in a team atmosphere that fosters technological achievement, business development, and collaboration with other SGH practice areas, while emphasizing a high-quality product. SGH Principals play key roles on professional committees and frequently contribute to journals and other technical publications.

Currently, the Fire Engineering Division has a presence in Boston, MA, New York, NY and southern California (Los Angeles /Orange County). The candidate would join SGH in Washington DC and be based out of the existing SGH office. Although the position is based in Washington DC, there are no geographical boundaries restricting the reach of the successful candidate. The Fire Engineering Division works collectively across all locations to deliver projects nationally. The Fire Engineering Division has the benefit of access to SGH's national team of experts including high-end analysts, structural engineers, material scientists, chemists, petrographers, wood technologists, and architects. The firm has an advanced in-house structural and materials laboratory and powerful computing capability.

  • Preferred Master of Science, Master of Engineering, or Doctorate in Fire Protection Engineering or related field required
  • 15+ years of professional experience in fire protection engineering or related field.
  • Professional Engineer (PE) license required
  • Experience with and a desire to conduct leading-edge work and leading projects requiring creativity in finding and communicating solutions outside the standard
