We're proud to celebrate the ribbon cutting of Jeff Davis Primary School, a project that represents an investment in students, educators, and the future of the community in Hazelhurst, Georgia. It was an honor for Shear Structural to provide structural engineering services for this incredible new learning environment alongside a great design team led by Fry Design Group. Congratulations to the Jeff Davis County School District and everyone whose vision and collaboration made this project possible. Here's to many years of learning, growth, and success within these new walls! #ShearStructural #StructuralEngineering #Education #K12 #RibbonCutting

It's Back to School week! For the 6th year in a row, Shear Structural had the privilege to support and volunteer at Perkins&Will's #BackpackBash which supported Mableton Elementary School students. Our donation this year purchased Composition Notebooks for all the students at the school. We had a blast handing them out and helping fill backpacks for all kids, as well as participating in the careers tent where we shared a little more about architecture and #structuralengineering to these #futureengineers. The entire program raised over $60,000 in funding to serve over 900 students. Learn more >> https://lnkd.in/e9zTy-mv

✨ Time to Shine. Shear is Nine. ✨ Nine years ago, on August 1st, we set out to build more than structures - we set out to build lasting relationships and positively impact our community. Since then, we've had the privilege of building an incredible team and collaborating with incredible clients, architects, contractors, developers, and partners on projects that strengthen communities across the Southeast. To everyone who's trusted and supported us along the way... thank you. You're the foundation of everything we've built! We are kicking off our anniversary celebrations with volunteering and #givebacking with this year's Perkins&Will Backpack Bash. We are proud to be a platinum supporter, sponsoring a year's supply of composition notebooks to students grades K-5 at Mableton Elementary School in Cobb County. We will be celebrating with more fun throughout the month of August, so #staytuned! Here's to nine years of carrying the load together, and to many more ahead. #TimeToShine #ShearIsNine #StructuralEngineering #AEC #EngineeringExcellence #WomenOwnedBusiness

As we near the end of our summer internship season, we’re incredibly proud of what these future engineers have accomplished at Shear Structural. Over the past few months, Quinn Johnson, E.I., Kathryn St. Jean, and Omar Valadez have jumped into real projects, tackled new challenges, asked great questions, and grown both technically and professionally. Seeing their confidence build has been just as rewarding as the work they’ve contributed. Don’t just take our word for it—here’s what they had to say about their experience at Shear Structural. Thank you for spending your summer with us. We can’t wait to see where your engineering careers take you. 👏
