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.

Structural Engineer of Record (PE) — Memphis, TN

Ozer Engineering, LLC

Put your stamp on Memphis—and build work you're proud to call your own.

At Ozer Engineering, we take on the work a lot of engineers won't. We partner with homeowners, realtors, property managers, and building owners to make sure their structures are sound — often within real budget limitations. That's the work we do, and it's why we've been able to assess and help thousands of property owners in Memphis across 15 years - with an exciting future ahead.

We're looking for a licensed structural PE ready to join us as an Engineer of Record, lead meaningful projects, and help shape our next chapter. You won't be doing it alone. You'll work alongside a close-knit team that values thoughtful engineering, outstanding client service, and learning from one another. During your first 90 days, you'll also be mentored directly by our founder as you get to know our clients, projects, processes, and approach to engineering.

The pay: $90,000–$100,000, based on experience, plus bonus and profit-sharing opportunities.

The schedule: This is a 40-hour-per-week position. After your first 90 days, you may choose to work four 10-hour days—Monday through Thursday or Tuesday through Friday—or continue with a traditional five-day schedule. Peak periods and project deadlines require additional hours and we believe in being transparent about that expectation upfront and communicating openly when busy seasons arise.

The work: Adaptive Reuse. Commercial properties. Historic rehabilitation. Community revitalization. Property management portfolios. Residential structures. Churches and houses of faith. You’ll engineer across steel, concrete, wood, and masonry, with enough variety to keep your skills growing and your days interesting.

What you’ll bring

• An active PE license, ideally MLE-designated and already held in Tennessee — but MLE status in any reciprocal state works too, and we'll help you add Tennessee. Licenses in AZ, AR, MS, CA, TX, or PA are a nice bonus, not a requirement.

What you’ll get

• $90,000–$100,000 base salary, based on experience
