Descrição da oferta de emprego

We’re looking for an experienced Engineering Manager to join a growing civil engineering team in downtown Chicago.

This is a hands-on technical leadership position for a senior transportation engineer who enjoys solving difficult design problems, reviewing technical work and helping other engineers become stronger.

Rather than stepping away from engineering, you’ll become one of the office’s key technical resources — supporting engineers with complex design challenges, overseeing QA/QC and helping establish consistent standards across transportation projects.

You’ll be responsible for:

• Acting as a senior technical resource for engineers and design technicians
• Mentoring and developing junior and mid-level engineering staff
• Providing hands-on guidance with complex transportation design challenges
• Leading QA/QC reviews of plans, specifications, calculations, reports and construction documents
• Reviewing roadway, stormwater, drainage and grading designs
• Troubleshooting technical issues and helping remove project delivery bottlenecks
• Working closely with Project Managers to ensure technical work meets scope, schedule and budget requirements
• Helping establish and maintain engineering design standards and best practices
• Encouraging knowledge-sharing and technical development across the Chicago engineering team

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering or a related discipline
• Professional Engineer (PE) license in Illinois, or ability to obtain through reciprocity
• 10+ years of transportation engineering experience
• Strong technical experience with roadway/highway design
• Experience with stormwater, drainage and grading
• Strong background reviewing engineering deliverables and leading QA/QC
• Experience mentoring engineers and design technicians
• Ability to troubleshoot complex engineering and design issues
• Experience with Bentley OpenRoads Designer highly desirable
• AutoCAD Civil 3D experience beneficial

This position could suit someone currently working as a:

• Senior Transportation Engineer
• Senior Roadway Engineer
• Transportation Design Manager
• Roadway Design Manager
• Principal Transportation Engineer
• Technical Manager

You don’t necessarily need to already hold an Engineering Manager title. The key is having the technical depth to review other engineers’ work, solve challenging design problems and help develop the team around you.

Why Consider It?

• Annual performance bonus
• Employee ownership opportunities
• Hybrid working arrangement
• Downtown Chicago office accessible by public transportation
• 401(k) with company match
• Medical, dental and vision coverage
• Company-paid life and disability insurance
• Paid vacation, sick leave and 11 paid holidays
• Opportunity to play a major role in developing a growing engineering team

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced transportation engineer who wants to remain close to the technical work while moving into a position with greater influence over design quality, engineering standards and staff development.
