Talent Acquisition Coordinator at Kiewit

Requisition : 178998

Job Level: Entry Level

Home District/Group: Kiewit Infrastructure Engineers

Department: Design Engineering

Market: Transportation

Employment Type: Full Time

Kiewit Infrastructure Engineers (KIE) has an opening for a Concrete Engineer. You will be part of our growing Infrastructure Design Department, which includes structural, geotechnical, civil, drainage, roadway, rail, and materials disciplines. This multi‑faced division of Kiewit features best‑in‑class technical expertise focused on the design‑build delivery of infrastructure projects.

The primary role of this position is to provide support, analysis, and design to Kiewit projects, having a direct impact on other teams within the engineering district.

Project involvement of a concrete engineer can be at any stage of a project’s life cycle. Get Work project tasks may include proposal development, Task Force participation, technical proposal design, alternative technical design concept (ATC), and proposal cost estimating support. Build Work tasks include Task Force participation, final design development, concrete troubleshooting, specification development, concrete mix design, testing procedures, thermal control plans, durability and service‑life engineering, construction engineering, and construction operations oversight.

Projects often rely on KIE technical resources, consultants, and/or subcontractors for staffing engineering‑related construction tasks. Typical project deliverables may include technical solutions, design reports, memorandums, and letters—all subject to KIE’s Design Quality Management Plan. Deliverables may also require field technical support with investigations and site‑visit observations during construction.

Concrete Engineering is considered a specialty engineering service and as such has high visibility with Project upper management, where high professionalism is always expected. Project related travel varies but is projected to be approximately 25% and can be anywhere in North America. Continued job‑related learning through Kiewit University, Professional Engineer Continuing Education, and personal professional development is encouraged and expected.

Kiewit Infrastructure Engineers seamlessly transitions solutions from design to construction through the collaborative efforts of Design Engineering, Design Management, Proposals, Estimating, and Integrated Project Controls. Our construction‑focused engineering approach involves a multidisciplinary team working together to maximize value for clients by improving schedules, controlling costs, and minimizing risk on infrastructure projects. This integrated strategy emphasizes collaboration and constructability throughout the project lifecycle, enabling us to identify and implement quality solutions with a strong safety focus.

Clients benefit from Kiewit’s proven processes and tools, which minimize project risk. As an in‑house resource, we support projects across the company, in all major markets, sharing experiences, innovative concepts, and best practices. Kiewit’s management and implementation of this process result in safe, cost‑effective, and innovative designs that exceed client expectations and uphold Kiewit’s legacy of excellence.
