agree  Heike Behl, Ph.D.: Langenscheidt gives both structural engineer and stress analyst. In the context of "Prüf-", the stress analyst makes most sense, IMHO

reviewing/assessing structural engineer


Explanation:
A Prüfstatik is kind of a double check whether the original structural calculations performed are appropriate and sufficient for the specific structure. This check/assessment/review is done by another, independent, structural engineer, the "Prüfstatiker".

See also comment in cited URL. A "Prüfstatik" is not required that often when it comes to residential buildings - the situation may be different in an industrial environment.

Rgds,
Steffen
