Civil Engineer - Transportation

Overview

Job Summary:

Provides technical expertise and engineering judgment in the planning, design, analysis, and construction support of transportation infrastructure projects in the public and private sectors. This role supports roadway, highway, and multimodal improvement projects through data analysis, design development, permitting, and construction coordination. Generates clear, accurate documentation and ensures projects meet or exceed industry standards for safety, mobility, sustainability, and functionality—because great transportation systems move communities forward.

• Collect, compile, and analyze data from the physical work site, surveys, blueprints, GIS data, subsurface utility information, maps, geotechnical data, and other matrices for project development, design, and construction.
• Perform professional civil engineering work and assist with conducting research and observations of proposed and existing site conditions, resources, building, infrastructure, and transportation channels to determine conformance with applicable rules, standards, and construction or operating permits.
• Participate in incorporating advanced modeling techniques, concept development, design requirements, and operating strategies to account for the safety and functionality of end-users, transportation vehicles/systems, and incorporate sustainable solutions with civil engineering design standards.
• Work as an individual or as part of a cross-functional team of engineers, planners, and scientific professionals to execute project work, assist with laying out installations, establishing reference points/elevations/grades to guide construction, calculating costs and quantities of material/equipment/labor, and ensuring project work conforms with specifications, permit applications, compliance documentation, and regulatory and technical analysis memos.
• Verify the characteristics of a site, providing technical assistance on various environmental, surface, grading, pavement, leveling, hydrological, construction, and drainage issues.
• Research databases regarding historical property land uses.
• May support a project proposal and interview based on direction from the responsible project team.
• Prepare data and visualizations such as tables, charts, accurate reports, sketches, calculations, and illustrations for the interpretation or presentation of data, findings, or analyses.
• Maintain quality control standards and procedures for accurate and precise measurements, statistical analysis, and reporting.
• Assist with development and scoping of small- to medium-sized projects.
• Contribute to the preparation of technical reports and presentations that explain research and findings to improve, prevent, control, restore, or address design and/or construction issues or problems.
• Conduct engineering studies and surveys to gain further information on a particular design and construction problem or issue and/or to plan for future needs.
• Assist in the analysis, evaluation, and interpretation of data obtained during field investigations, offering input with developing action plans for low to mid-level risk mitigation activities.
• Assist in the preparation and implementation of site Health and Safety Plans (HASPs).
• Work collaboratively with other engineers and planners on projects with infrastructure authorities on Federal, State, regional, and locally funded improvement, and development projects.
• Interact with regulatory agencies, subcontractors, and clients in a confident and professional manner.
• Exercise responsible and ethical decision-making regarding company funds, resources and adhere to professional conduct and KLJ's policies and procedures.
• Perform additional responsibilities as required by business needs.

• Bachelor's Degree in Engineering, or closely related discipline.
• Master's Degree is preferred.
• 3 to 5 years of relevant post education experience in engineering discipline and prior civil design experience.
• Professional Engineering License preferred.
• Knowledge of civil engineering principles, practices, process, design/build, and the application to permitting and project work-related issues.
• Experience…
