Overview:

This Isn’t a Satellite Office. It’s a Home Base.

St. George is not a fallback location. It is one of the fastest-growing cities in the country, surrounded by some of the most spectacular landscape on earth, and sitting at the center of a corridor that stretches from Las Vegas to Phoenix to Salt Lake City and beyond. The projects are real, the clients are serious, and the work is the same caliber you would find at any top firm in any major market. The difference is that you get to go home to red rock country.

If you grew up in southern Utah and assumed you would have to leave to do meaningful work – you don’t. If you are somewhere else and have wondered what it would look like to build a career in a place where your after-work hours are as good as your work hours – wonder no more.

About Dunn Associates

We are a structural engineering firm based in Salt Lake City and St. George, licensed in all 50 states and working on projects across the intermountain west and beyond. We are not the biggest name in the room, and we have never wanted to be. We compete on something most engineering firms never think to offer: what it actually feels like to work with us, and what it actually feels like to be one of us.

Our tagline is not marketing copy. It is the operating model: The experience is the product. The people are the brand.

We hire people we genuinely like, knowing we can build the engineer. We invest in who our people are becoming – not just technically, but as professionals and as people. The result is a team where relationships run deep, where the work is engaging, and where younger engineers are not just executing tasks but learning how to think, how to communicate, and how to grow into the kind of engineer that architects and owners come back to, again and again.

Why St. George

There are firms that put people in satellite offices and call it a regional presence. That is not what this is. Our St. George team is a full, growing, in-office operation – connected to the culture and resources of our SLC home base, but with its own energy and identity rooted in one of the most dynamic places in the west.

Here is what the St. George life looks like:

• Year-round outdoor recreation – hiking, mountain biking, climbing, golf, and red rock in every direction
• Zion National Park is 45 minutes away. Bryce Canyon, the Grand Canyon North Rim, and Lake Powell are weekend trips
• A cost of living and quality of life that major metro markets simply cannot match
• A city that is growing fast – which means the projects are growing with it
• Access to work stretching from Las Vegas and Phoenix to Salt Lake, Denver, and Boise – without sacrificing where you live

This is a place where you can build a serious career and actually enjoy the life that career is supposed to support.

What We Are Hiring For

We are intentionally growing our St. George team – not because the workload spiked and we need more bodies, but because we are building something designed to last. We are looking for engineers at various stages of their career who want to be part of a team where the work is seen, the growth is real, and the culture is something you will not find anywhere else.

When the world shifted during the pandemic, a lot of firms scaled back to protect their numbers. We didn’t. We chose to protect our people. That was not a slogan. It was a leadership decision made in a real moment when it mattered. The same long-view shapes how we hire today.

What This Looks Like in Practice

You will work alongside engineers who genuinely enjoy teaching and collaborating. You will be part of real project teams from day one – not tucked away or assigned busywork. You will learn how buildings come together, how to communicate with architects and contractors, and how to solve problems in ways that balance creativity and practicality.

The projects we work on are meaningful. The clients we serve expect more than a set of calculations – they expect a partner who cares about their project and shows up for it. That is the standard we hold ourselves to, and it is the environment you would be walking into.

Your growth is part of the firm’s growth. Those things are not in tension here. They are the same thing.

Who We Are Looking For

Not a resume type. A person type.

We are looking for people who are curious, collaborative, and invested in doing things well. People who want to be known – by their team, by their clients, by the profession – as someone who cares about the work and the people around them. Technical foundation matters, but it is not the whole picture. We can teach engineering. We cannot teach character.

If you are from southern Utah and have been looking for a reason to come home – or build a home – this is it. If you are somewhere else and the combination of serious work and exceptional place sounds like what you have been looking for – we want to hear from you.
