As PRIME AE continues to expand its capabilities, geographic reach, and leadership bench, this is an exciting time to join a team that is building momentum, investing in growth, and empowering leaders to make a lasting impact.


The Opportunity:

We are currently seeking a Bridge Engineer I to join our Transportation Business Line in either our Harrisburg or Pittsburgh, PA offices. This role offers a flexible work schedule, including hybrid (virtual and in-office) options.


This position is ideal for an early-career engineer with foundational experience in bridge design who is ready to take on increased responsibility in the design and analysis of transportation structures. You will work alongside experienced engineers on a variety of bridge projects while continuing to develop your technical expertise and professional skills.


What Youโ€™ll Do:

Key Responsibilities:

  • Perform structural design and analysis for steel and concrete bridge systems, including plate girders, rolled beams, prestressed concrete, and post-tensioned components.
  • Prepare engineering calculations, quantity takeoffs, and technical reports.
  • Develop engineering plans, details, and specifications using CAD tools such as Bentley MicroStation and OpenBridge Designer (OBD).
  • Support the design of new bridge structures and rehabilitation projects for transportation clients.
  • Participate in bridge inspections and assist with inspection documentation and reporting if interested.
  • Perform or assist with bridge load ratings.
  • Support construction engineering activities including temporary shoring, falsework design, and erection calculations.
  • Review shop drawings and assist with construction phase services.
  • Coordinate with project teams to ensure timely and high-quality project delivery.


What Youโ€™ll Bring:

  • Bachelorโ€™s Degree in Civil Engineering or Structural Engineering.
  • Engineer-in-Training (EIT) certification required.
  • 2+ years of experience in bridge or structural engineering.
  • Experience in all aspects of bridge design projects; bridge inspection experience is a plus.
  • Proficiency in structural analysis/design software (LARSA, SAP, LEAP, BDS, PCA Col, etc.); familiarity with PennDOT Design Software is a plus.
  • Familiarity with Bentley MicroStation and/or OpenBridge Designer (OBD) preferred.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Ability to manage multiple assignments and meet project deadlines.
  • Ability to work both independently and collaboratively within a team environment.


Why PRIME AE:

We donโ€™t just fill positions; we invest in people.


At PRIME AE, youโ€™ll find a supportive, flexible environment where careers are built intentionally, not accidentally. Youโ€™ll work on projects that improve everyday life, alongside colleagues who challenge and respect one another.
