Barry Isett & Associates (Isett) is a well-respected multi-discipline engineering/consulting firm headquartered in Allentown, PA, with offices throughout eastern and central PA, serving PA, NJ, DE, MD. We are proud to have been named a PA Best Company (2019-2021), Morning Call Top Work Place annually since 2013, Corporate Citizen of the Year (by the Lehigh Valley Business Journal) and recipient of the Societas Award for Responsible Corporate Conduct (for Ethics).

Our associates provide civil, structural, municipal, environmental, geotechnical, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering, surveying, landscape architecture, code enforcement, plan review, construction management, construction inspections and material testing, and grant writing services to a diverse client base.

But, enough about us. We want to hear from YOU, if you are a Professional Engineer or Licensed Architect with interest or experience in investigative engineering. Do you like to be in the field and write clear and concise reports? Then this is the opportunity for you!

Our Forensic Engineering Department focuses on the investigation of buildings and structures that are failing or aging. The primary areas of competence and responsibility will be assessments of residential and commercial structural components and building envelopes including field work, performing detailed inspections, taking notes and photographs, preparing written reports; and preparing designs and drawings for repairs.

The following skills would also be helpful, but not required: special training, certifications, or design/assessment experiences with building envelopes; HAAG roofing certifications; special training, certifications or design/assessment experience with structural systems; litigation and insurance claims experience; experience with structural analysis software; and familiarity with BlueBeam.

This position will require you to work independently and as part of a team, so we need very good communicators who are able to multi-task and work well with others. You will work beside and under the supervision of our senior forensics engineers and handle your own projects from intake to invoicing.

Requirements

• B.S. in Civil, Structural, Materials Science, or related engineering or Architecture;
• Current Professional Engineering or Architect license in PA, NJ, DE, MD (or ability to obtain it);
• Valid driver’s license;
