Ozer Engineering, LLC. Engineering Technician Memphis, TN · Full time Company website

Apply for Engineering Technician

Why Work at Ozer? Ozer is a boutique structural engineering firm focused on existing buildings, new structures and art installations. We help owners, architects, artists, landscape architects, and contractors figure out how a structure is really performing — and how to strengthen, repair, or improve it without guesswork. We're not a firm that stays behind a desk. Our engineers are in crawlspaces, up in attics, and walking job sites — seeing firsthand how structures are actually put together, not just how they look on paper. That hands-on approach is how we diagnose problems and give clients guidance they can actually build on. ​ If you're early in your career, this is where you cut your teeth. You'll get inside real buildings — houses, small commercial spaces — and start connecting the dots between what you learned in school and how structures behave in the real world. You'll work shoulder to shoulder with senior engineers, watch construction happen, and see the direct line between an engineering decision and the building it affects. If you have been in the field for a while, this is a great place to grow your career and really shine. We're a small team, which means your work actually matters here — no getting lost in a big org chart. If you're the right fit, you'll grow fast, take real ownership, and have a hand in shaping where this firm goes next.

Ozer Engineering is looking for a motivated Site Assessment Technician to support our residential and small commercial field assessments. You'll work closely with a licensed Structural Engineer, gaining hands-on experience in real-world conditions and building a strong technical foundation with room to grow into more advanced assessment and reporting work as you gain experience.
