Responsibilities
Our Bridge group works on a wide range of projects including bridge and retaining walls, dams, storm and traffic structures, inspections, rehabilitations, load ratings, and assisting with construction engineering services.
We facilitate designs on transportation projects that include grade separations, interchanges, and stream crossings for public and private clients throughout the Midwest.
As a Bridge Engineer, you will contribute to the successful delivery of transportation structure projects by applying sound engineering principles, supporting design efforts, and collaborating across multidisciplinary teams.
Depending on your level of experience, you may take on increasing responsibility in technical design, project coordination, and client engagement.
In this role, you will work closely with project managers and team members to develop high-quality design solutions, support project execution, and help ensure work is completed within scope, schedule, and budget.
There are opportunities to provide guidance to less experienced staff, contribute to team development, and grow into technical leadership responsibilities over time.
