Smart Structures is a unique digital transformation company applying Internet of Things (IoT) technology to civil infrastructure capacity assessment and monitoring. We enable connected infrastructure that gives designers, contractors, owners, operators, users, and several other stakeholders vital insight into the health, structural integrity, capacity, and possible failure of infrastructure at the element as well as holistic level. Our technology adds value to infrastructure by improving safety to users, enabling better asset management that extends life and reduces total cost of ownership.
Smart Structures is a mature high-tech company started over 10 years ago focused on using smart sensor technology to meet the structural data needs of owners, builders, operators, insurers, and financiers of civil infrastructure. The original research was developed by Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and the University of Florida and licensed to Smart Structures. The sensor technology for deep foundations is well established and has been proven on more than 100 bridges.
In 2015 Smart Structures was acquired by RADISE International, a full-service geotechnical engineering firm. RADISE was uniquely positioned to help Design-Build Project Teams understand and apply SmartPile™ ‘s full dynamic testing to their foundation design projects. With support from RADISE, Design-Build Teams leveraged higher design resistance factors allowed by the FDOT, allowing for fewer piles, shorter pile lengths, and the ability to drive those piles more efficiently using this new state of the art technology. Now, several new application and products are currently in development. Now in its sixth generation, Smart Structures sensors, software and supporting hardware are supported by 8 patents in 32 countries and are recognized by leading US Federal and State organizations.
Together Smart Structures and RADISE, have won countless accolades. But the most powerful evidence of what we are capable of – and what we are most proud of – is the success of our customers and partners.

Pros: I've had the chance to work on some really interesting structural design projects here, involving innovative materials and construction techniques. The team is collaborative and willing to share knowledge, which really helped me grow technically. Management is generally approachable, and there's a good sense of camaraderie among colleagues.
Cons: While career growth is possible, the path can sometimes feel a bit unstructured, with opportunities depending heavily on project availability. Communication on broader company strategy could be more consistent. Workload can be intense during peak project phases, impacting work-life balance slightly.
Advice to Management: Consider creating more defined career progression frameworks and ensuring consistent communication about company direction and project pipelines. This would help employees feel more secure and motivated about their long-term futures here.

I appreciate the opportunities to work on diverse structural projects and the collaborative spirit among colleagues. The company is generally good about supporting professional development and offering a predictable schedule. It's a place where you can build a solid career foundation.
Cons: Navigating internal processes can sometimes be slow, and communication between departments could be smoother. While the pay and benefits are competitive for the area, there isn't a clear, accelerated path for rapid career growth for engineers, often requiring long tenure for promotions. Management is generally receptive but sometimes detached from day-to-day operational challenges.
Advice to Management: Consider streamlining inter-departmental communication and clearly defining pathways for faster career progression for high-performing team members to boost morale and retention.
