We are Olsson. We engineer and design solutions that improve the world around us. As a company, we promise to always be responsive, transparent, and focused on results – for our people, our clients, and our company.

We’re a people‑centric firm, so it’s no surprise our greatest asset is our people. The impact this creates is an environment that encourages our people to grow and be creative with their talents. This approach builds a culture that is uniquely Olsson. It allows us to grow our people as we grow our business. This, in turn, creates a lasting impact on the world around us.

Olsson is looking for a motivated mid‑to‑senior level structural engineer to join our bridge and roadway team in either Fayetteville or Little Rock, AR. Our bridge group works on a wide range of projects including bridge and retaining walls, dams, storm and traffic structures, inspections, rehabilitations, load ratings, and assisting with construction engineering services. We facilitate designs on transportation projects that include grade separations, interchanges, and stream crossings for public and private clients throughout the Midwest.

You will be able to collaborate with roadway, traffic, geotechnical, and stormwater engineers on projects that make a positive impact in our community while simultaneously offering you the ability to grow and pick up a wide array of skills.

You'll have opportunities to get involved with project management, marketing, proposals, client development, and mentoring technical staff. You'll manage projects from concept through construction making decisions on engineering problems and select the appropriate structural solutions that are cost‑effective and constructible while working with a multi‑disciplined team of engineers and technicians. Occasional travel for site visits or inspection work may occur.
