CAREERS
Forefront Structural Engineers (FSE) is a Chicago based, dynamic firm focused on excellence in our profession and solid business growth by building and growing great teams that take care of our clients. Our work involves the design of high-rise, mid-rise and other unique buildings that require careful thought, creative engineering, and practical experience. Our work involves both modern new post-tension buildings, tall mass timber, large scale CFS buildings, structural steel and adaptive re-use of historic buildings. Our project work extends all around the United States.
We believe in working closely with our clients and listening to their needs. Our approach to creative engineering is founded upon a mutual respect for the architects, owners, developers and contractors we work with. Our understanding of how to build, and why we build, influence the way we design.
