• Perform structural analysis and design calculations for bridge design, rehabilitation, and replacement projects under the guidance of senior bridge engineers.
• Assist with bridge inspection, condition evaluation, and load rating tasks, as needed.
• Prepare and review bridge structural drawings, specifications, cost estimates, and construction documents using AutoCAD Civil 3D, and bridge design software (e.g., Open Bridge, BrR, LEAP, Mathcad, or BRASS).
• Apply AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications and applicable state and federal bridge design criteria, with guidance from senior staff.
