If you are looking to work in a unique team that works on a wide variety of projects, you have come to the right place.  We work in many design disciplines including highways and local roadways, bike trails, pedestrian facilities, drainage facilities and many more.  If you are looking to join a team where you will be a lead roadway design engineer, this would be a great position for you.

This is a staffed, hourly, non-exempt position.
  • Design roadway system improvements and related transportation structures under the guidance of a Senior Engineer.
  • Prepare plans, technical specifications, and cost estimates.
  • Perform technical studies and prepare technical documents such as Project Reports.
  • Develop appropriate preliminary concepts and layouts.
  • Oversee and mentor entry level staff. 
  • Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering.

  • A Unique Culture: We're an engineering firm that feels refreshingly different. As inventors who ask, "why not?", our leadership empowers employees to grow, challenge conventions, and develop creative solutions.
