Transportation Project Manager

About Michael Baker International

Michael Baker International’s first office in Alaska opened in 1942. Since then, we have played a key role in some of Alaska’s most renowned infrastructure projects, including groundbreaking projects on the North Slope and the Trans‑Alaska Pipeline System. We continue to focus on cold‑regions engineering—pipelines, transportation, civil, architecture, hydrology, geotechnical—and specialty professional services, permitting and regulatory compliance, GIS and LiDAR mapping.

We have offices in Anchorage and Fairbanks and network with our lower‑48 colleagues, providing work‑share opportunities across the company.

Michael Baker International is expanding its footprint in Alaska and is seeking a Senior Project Manager to help grow our transportation design practice. This is an exciting opportunity for a motivated, client‑focused leader who thrives on delivering high‑quality design solutions and building strong relationships. You’ll play a key role in developing civil design projects while collaborating with a multidisciplinary team that includes experts in roadway, bridge, rail, aviation, environmental, planning, and public involvement.

Our transportation team also works closely with pipeline, facility, and water resources engineers, offering a rich and diverse project environment. While this role is centered on Alaska‑based clients and projects, you’ll also have opportunities to contribute to impactful work across our offices nationwide. If you’re ready to lead, innovate, and make a lasting impact, we’d love to connect with you!
