ABOUT THE ROLE
Welltower is seeking a Senior Structural Engineering Project Manager to lead the assessment, remediation, and execution of structural improvement projects across our senior housing and wellness portfolio. This role will serve as a key technical resource for evaluating and resolving issues such as structural settlement, façade deterioration, balcony deficiencies, and other system failures impacting the integrity of our buildings. The ideal candidate will bring deep knowledge of concrete, steel, and wood-frame construction and will work closely with internal teams, third-party consultants, and operating partners to implement strategic repair programs. This individual will also act as an escalation point for structural risks identified during acquisition due diligence and will support post-close resolution of latent defects in newly acquired buildings.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

- Reinforcement of roof structures or framing modifications to support new loads or repairs.
- Structural elements impacted by long-term water intrusion or improper detailing.
- Perform site evaluations and collaborate with internal teams to diagnose underlying structural issues and develop practical, code-compliant repair strategies.
- Manage external structural and geotechnical engineering firms—scoping investigations, reviewing findings, and directing design solutions.
- Serve as a technical reviewer for PCA reports and other due diligence materials—assessing structural risks and informing acquisition decisions.
- Coordinate and manage the resolution of post-acquisition structural issues in newly constructed buildings—working constructively with developers, general contractors, and consultants to plan and implement corrections.
- Collaborate with Capital Planning and Redevelopment teams to ensure structural repairs align with broader asset strategies and ongoing projects.
- Provide oversight through design, bidding, and construction phases—ensuring consistency with repair scope, schedule, and quality expectations.
- Act as an escalation resource for internal stakeholders and property teams when structural deficiencies are identified or when third-party guidance is needed.
- Maintain strong documentation practices to support internal reporting, risk assessment, and future planning.
