What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Bridge EIT (Engineer-in-Training), and why are they important?

To thrive as a Bridge EIT, you need a bachelor's degree in civil engineering, fundamental engineering knowledge, and EIT certification. Proficiency with structural analysis software such as SAP2000 or AutoCAD, along with familiarity with AASHTO codes and standards, is typically required. Strong problem-solving, teamwork, and communication skills help you collaborate effectively with senior engineers and stakeholders. These competencies are crucial for ensuring the safe, efficient, and code-compliant design and inspection of bridge structures.

What are some common challenges faced by Bridge EITs (Engineers in Training) during their first year on the job?

Bridge EITs often encounter challenges such as adapting to the fast-paced nature of infrastructure projects, learning to interpret complex structural drawings, and balancing fieldwork with office tasks like design calculations and report writing. Collaborating effectively with multidisciplinary teams, including senior engineers, drafters, and construction crews, is also essential but can be daunting for new professionals. Overcoming these challenges typically involves proactive communication, seeking mentorship, and gradually taking on more responsibility as technical knowledge and confidence grow.

What is a Bridge EIT?

A Bridge EIT, or Engineer-in-Training, is an entry-level civil engineer who works under the supervision of licensed professional engineers to design, inspect, and maintain bridges and related structures. Typically, a Bridge EIT has completed an accredited engineering degree and passed the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam. They assist in preparing plans, performing calculations, and ensuring that projects meet safety and regulatory standards. This role is a critical step toward becoming a licensed Professional Engineer (PE) in the field of bridge engineering.

Primary Responsibilities

As an employee-owner in this Rail Structures Designer/EIT role, we'll count on you to:

  • Apply structural engineering techniques and procedures related to the design of bridges, structures, retaining walls and supporting facilities for our various freight railroad clients

  • Work under the guidance and direct supervision of a Professional Engineer to serve in a technical capacity to assist in checking drawings and calculations, developing material lists and calculating quantities, and reviewing construction submittals, using structural design software programs.

  • Participate and assist in rail bridges and structures assessments.

  • Assist with development of project deliverables, including calculations, design plans, cost estimates, specifications, and feasibility reports.

  • Have a desire to work in and learn about the railroad industry and may regularly interact with clients and other rail industry professionals.

  • Work closely with Project Engineers and Managers to gain the engineering experience to obtain professional engineering license.

Preferred Qualifications 
 
  • Engineer in Training (EIT) certificate
  • Candidates without their EIT will be placed into a Design Coordinator job code and will be expected to obtain their EIT for career progression
  • Intern or professional experience in transportation-related civil design (e.g., roadway, railroads or transit, or other linear corridor design).
  • Strong understanding and experience with engineering software packages.
  • Experience in bridges or structures design.
  • Successfully passed Fundamentals of Engineering Exam (i.e.., EI or EIT credentials), with desire to obtain PE license preferred.

We've already earned National ACEC awards for: the West Colton Flyover Structures which eliminated one of the largest bottlenecks in US history with an innovative first-of-its-kind flyover, the HDR-patented Infinity Loop Design, and the West Vancouver Freight Access Program Management project where we worked with the port to right-size and more efficiently adapt to evolving industry demands.  You could help us bring home the next one.

We understand your career is a big part of your life, but it's not your whole life. We offer benefits that look out for your health and wellness from a "whole you" perspective. Whether you are continuing your education, mapping your financial future, balancing work and family, or planning for retirement, we want to support your personal and professional goals.
