A Responsive, Principal-Led Structural Engineering Partner
Structural engineering for the assignments that are not routine, with principal-level
involvement from first call to closeout.
Who We Are
Engineering Built on Judgment
Titan SE exists to provide structural engineering services with the responsiveness
and accountability of a close project partner, while delivering the technical rigor,
experience, and quality of a seasoned, principal-led structural engineering practice.
We emphasize clear, timely communication, practical coordination, and service-minded
execution over commodity pricing. Our work is guided by sound engineering principles,
constructible thinking, and a commitment to earning long-term client trust.
What Guides Us
Our Core Values
These principles guide how we strive to communicate, solve problems, manage risk, and
deliver structural engineering work with excellence.
Conviction
Standing firm in what is right
We stand firm in what is technically sound, ethically responsible, and professionally defensible. Conviction guides our decisions, scope boundaries, risk awareness, and commitment to doing the work the right way.
Innovation
Advancing the practice where it matters
We pursue innovation with purpose, applying advanced analysis, materials, methods, and technology where they improve performance, constructability, efficiency, or long-term value.
Precision
Exact in design, practical in execution
We value accuracy, clarity, and restraint from concept through construction. Precision means clear assumptions, disciplined analysis, concise documentation, and constructible details.
Resilience
Strength that endures
We design structures and build professional relationships with long-term performance in mind. Resilience means responding to real-world constraints with composure, collaboration, and sound judgment.
Legacy
Creating value that lasts
We approach each project knowing engineering decisions can endure well beyond the project schedule. Our legacy is measured by work that remains sound, trusted, and valuable years later.
Our Story
How Titan SE Began
Titan SE was established in 2020 from a simple belief: structural engineering, at its
best, should be technically rigorous, responsive, and practical. It should apply sound
reason to each design decision while remaining mindful of how those decisions affect
cost, constructability, schedule, and long-term performance. It should also communicate
the variables driving those decisions clearly and responsibly to both technical and
non-technical stakeholders.
After years of experience across engineering design, construction coordination, project
management, and specialty structural systems, Brandon T. Compton founded the company to
provide clients with precisely this type of engineering partner.
Since beginning full-time operations in 2025, Titan SE has stayed intentionally
focused on markets that support premium quality,
responsive service, and long-term client trust. We work to understand the scope,
constraints, and stakeholders behind each project so our engineering can provide
clarity, reduce friction, and support better project outcomes.

Over 16 years of structural engineering experience
Brandon T. Compton is the Founder, President, and Principal Engineer of Titan
Structural Engineering, PLLC. He built his career through the development of a
distinct combination of technical rigor, client engagement, constructability
awareness, and business acumen. Titan SE grew from that perspective and understanding
of how engineering decisions affect the people responsible for delivering the work.
Brandon's experience includes commercial and industrial buildings, steel fiber
reinforced concrete slab systems, shrinkage-compensating concrete, structural
retrofits, PEMB-related engineering, rooftop and suspended equipment support,
structural evaluations, and multi-state engineering review. He is especially
recognized for his knowledge and experience in specialty concrete design utilizing
steel fiber reinforcement and shrinkage-compensating concrete systems. He has also
served in senior engineering and executive leadership roles, including Director of
Engineering and Vice President of Engineering & Business Development, and has
coordinated research initiatives with business executives, the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, and North Carolina State University.
With a career spanning telecom engineering, dam research, design-build concrete
solutions, structural design, structural evaluations, business development, and
executive leadership, Brandon brings a unique combination of technical and business
experience in engineering and construction. His background combines national-scale
engineering coordination, research-level technical detail, construction-driven problem
solving, and leadership experience. Under his leadership, Titan SE evaluates
structural problems beyond a narrow design lens, helping clients understand how
engineering decisions affect cost, constructability, schedule, risk, and long-term
facility performance.
Outside of the office, Brandon lives in the Winston-Salem area with his wife, Emily, and
their three daughters. Most of their free time goes to national parks, trails, and
whatever is happening outdoors, along with lifting and staying in the gym. He is also
routinely talked into another Disney trip, and he does not put up much of a fight.
Photos and a few stories from outside the office are on the way.
