HDR is looking to hire a Senior Bridge Engineer for the "Moving I-4 Forward" project. Florida is experiencing unprecedented population growth and welcoming record-setting numbers of annual visitors.

Dubbed "Moving I-4 Forward," these projects will provide congestion relief up to 15 years sooner than originally scheduled and will improve mobility, increase safety, enhance the quality of life for the community, and ensure the resiliency of the transportation system in the future.

In addition, you will supervise development of calculations and quantities in support of these elements. Your duties will also include review of submittals from the DB teams and acting on behalf of the Structures Program Manager to manage and implement initiatives. This project offers a one-of-a-kind opportunity to advance your career.
