Junior Transportation Engineer

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. The Colorado Transportation team is a vibrant group focused on delivering innovative solutions for today’s civic challenges throughout the US West. We collaborate across all disciplines to execute projects of all sizes and complexities – from roadway, traffic, structural, environmental, water, power, digital technologies, and more – to make our communities safer, more resilient, and exciting places to live and work.

We encourage our team to push the limits in an innovative and energetic environment, focusing on developing our team’s skillsets while advancing individual careers. With over 34,000 employees worldwide and more than 800 in Colorado, you will have access to global expertise while working alongside our close‑knit regional team.

Join a multi‑discipline transportation team with a culture focused on supporting individuals while delivering innovative and impactful transportation designs to the communities we call home and the places we like to play. In this role, you will help develop conceptual and final design of roadways, highways, trails, intersections, interchanges, and multimodal improvements throughout our region using 3D‑based model design founded on solid engineering fundamentals.

You will focus on Colorado Department of Transportation and Colorado local agency improvements while also working on projects from New Mexico to California to Washington, ranging from gravel pathways and trails in national parks to urban corridors and major projects such as high‑speed rail in California or alternative delivery (design‑build) projects.
