The Datum Difference

Mentorship

When you join the Datum team, you’ll be paired with a mentor who’s not just a supervisor but your go-to guide for technical growth, career advice, and project support. From technical walkthroughs to career coaching and monthly check-ins, they’ll help you grow your skills and map out your path at Datum. You’ll also learn directly from our principals, who stay closely involved in projects and genuinely enjoy teaching and mentoring the next generation. Through regular design reviews, team charettes, and an open-door culture, you’ll gain exposure to experienced voices across the firm.

Datum Culture

We believe structural engineering is more than just math and mechanics—it’s an art form. Our credo, The Art of Structural Engineering, guides everything we do. We work hand-in-hand with architects to design structures that are not only technically sound, but visually striking and purposeful.

At Datum, you’re part of a team that takes pride in shaping some of the most beautiful and functionally complex buildings in the country. We challenge, support, and encourage one another, and share in the rewards. It’s why so many of our engineers stay for the long haul—many for 20+ years—eventually becoming owners of the firm. They’ve built meaningful careers here, not just because of the projects, but because of the people and culture that make Datum feel like home.
