Job description

When faced with an impasse, do you look to bridge the gap? Our Bridges and Structures team does too. From local bridge rehabilitations that support our communities to iconic bridge designs that define a region, our opportunities will connect you to your career goals.

A career in transportation is more than bridges, roads, and rail. As we plan, design, and manage projects that move people and goods from Point A to Point B, we create connections that transform our communities. Every airport, road, bridge, port, or transit project is an opportunity to make communities safer, cleaner, and more resilient. Together, we’re making an impact around the world.

If you’re looking for a career that moves, join our team of professionals who are passionate about the future of transportation.

Your Opportunity

Stantec is seeking a Senior Structural Engineer to join our team of transportation professionals servicing state and municipal clients in Maine, New Hampshire, and throughout New England. This position would be based out of the Portland, ME or Auburn, NH office, but you would be part of a larger New England transportation design group with offices in South Burlington, VT; Burlington & Boston, MA; and several other satellite offices. The New England structures group consists of about 30 bridge staff with varied experience and project backgrounds.

The Stantec Transportation group provides services to both private and public sector clients. While you will be focusing on work in Maine and the Northeast, the successful candidate will also have opportunities to collaborate with our other teams across the United States and in Canada and support their project needs as opportunities arise. The links below will provide you with a glimpse of the people and projects in each office:

Why Choose Stantec?

• Career development resources to expand your skills, enhance your expertise, and grow your career.
• Ability to work alongside others who share your passion to support communities through exciting and unique projects.
• Ability to join Stantec committees, employee resource groups, participate in community volunteering, and join various company or local groups/initiatives.
• We put people first and want to help you make that appointment or the baseball game that you need to attend. At Stantec, we have a hybrid, flexible work schedule that meets both business and individual needs.

Your Key Responsibilities

• Lead bridge design projects of varying size and complexity through all phases of design
• Develop design plans, technical specifications, and construction cost estimates
• Prepare, check, and deliver engineering calculations, reports, and technical studies

• Build a strong culture of quality design and teamwork
• Assist with or lead bridge inspection and load rating assignments
• Carry out constructability reviews during the design of conventionally procured projects
