I built a structure I KNOW is sound, but the township inspector is being a di ahem, difficult and giving me a hard time. I'm looking for a structural engineer I can have inspect it and sign off on it so Mr. township lackey can go pound sand....

Obviously I can not provide a reference to a licensed SE in your area. However has the Township Inspector provided you with the specific reasons why the structure is not being approved? By that I do mean chapter and verse of the ordinance, building codes, etc.? Are there specific reasons the structure was not deemed safe and or appropriately built?
Since you didn't state what kind of "structure" you built- it's kindda hard to point you in any direction. Here's a list of the top firms in the area:
Penn Valley Engineering, LLC
Phone: (215) 970-9144
101 Route 130, Suite 406, Cinnaminson NJ 08077
Roy Dedeic & Associate's, Inc.
Phone: (732) 867-9021
82 Midland Avenue, Montclair NJ 07042
Structural Support
Phone: (732) 746-4003
1212 Main Street, Belmar NJ 07719
R.C. Burdick & Associates, P.E., P.P., A Professional Corporation
Phone: (973) 735-9233
1023 Ocean Road, Point Pleasant NJ 08742
Hopefully, one of these firms can resolve your issue. Remember to keep one thing in mind- most convening authority have a list of "approved" engineers for their county, municipality, township, etc.
Ask if they have such a list and use one of them (hopefully, one of the above will be on the list). The last thing you won't want to do is pay twice for the same service- if you use an unapproved engineer.
