• Bachelor's degree in Civil or Structural Engineering.
• Professional Engineer (PE) license required.
• 3-5+ years of bridge design and structural engineering experience.
• Proven project management experience.
• Experience with transportation infrastructure projects.
• Knowledge of AASHTO and state DOT design standards.
• Proficiency with MicroStation and structural design software.
• Strong communication, leadership, and client relationship skills.

• Professional development and leadership opportunities.
• Collaborative team environment where employees genuinely enjoy working together.
• Annual company retreat and team events that create strong connections.
