This opportunity involves structural engineering analysis, design, site-work, reviews of third-party work, and other project tasks for investigation, remediation, improvement, and/or construction of bridge-focused infrastructure projects in the public and private sectors. Tasks may include conducting or leading structural engineering research, design, concept development, planning, and construction of load-bearing structures or structural elements such as buildings, bridges, roadways, and mechanical structures.

Substantiates reports and documentation regarding materials, installations, and construction specifications. Represents the project team/WSP at client and project meetings, participates in business development and preparation of technical and cost proposals, oversees work, and supports the development of junior structural engineers. Ensures responsibilities are delivered with quality that meets or exceeds industry standards for design, safety, structural soundness, and functionality. Roles may include design engineer, task lead/manager, project engineer, or deputy project manager for structural and multi-discipline projects.

Your Impact

• Determine well-defined methods for collecting, compiling, and analyzing data from the physical work site, surveys, blueprints, GIS data, subsurface utility information, maps, hydrologic analysis, geotechnical data, and other matrices for project development, design, and construction.
• Perform professional structural engineering work and conduct research and inspections of proposed and existing site conditions, resources, building, infrastructure, and transportation channels to determine conformance with applicable rules, standards, and permits.
• Develop construction plans, specifications, and cost estimates; prepare construction safety and phasing plans, and update infrastructure layout plans requiring coordination with owners, other disciplines, sub-consultants, and clients.
• Develop or incorporate advanced modeling techniques, design requirements, and operating strategies to account for safety and functionality of end-users and transportation systems, aiming for future-ready solutions within structural design standards.
• Work individually or as part of a cross-functional team to execute project work on multiple concurrent projects, assist with laying out installations, establish reference points/elevations/grades to guide construction, select materials to ensure durability, calculate costs and quantities, and ensure project work conforms with specifications, permits, compliance documentation, and technical memos.
• Verify site characteristics and provide technical guidance to ensure structural soundness from loads and pressures caused by environmental or human factors.
• Prepare data and visualizations such as tables, charts, reports, sketches, calculations, and 2D/3D illustrations for interpretation or presentation of data and findings.
• Maintain quality control standards and procedures for accurate measurements, statistical analysis, and reporting.
• Assist with development and scoping of medium-sized projects.
• Provide guidance and training to entry-level engineers.
• Prepare technical reports and presentations explaining research, findings, and recommendations to address design and/or construction issues or opportunities.
• Assist in analysis and interpretation of data from site investigations, contributing to action plans for risk mitigation activities.
• Prepare and implement site Health and Safety Plans (HASPs).
• Comply with regulatory requirements for data integrity, documentation, procedures, training, monitoring systems, and record retention.
• Interact with regulatory agencies, subcontractors, and clients in a confident and professional manner.
• Remain current in the latest structural engineering techniques and practices.
• Collaborate with other engineers, professionals, and infrastructure authorities on federal, state, regional, local, and privately funded projects.
