  • Support projects from conceptual design through final design and construction support.
  • Ensure designs meet applicable codes, client standards, and regulatory requirements.
  • Review design deliverables for accuracy, quality, and completeness.
  • Mentor and provide guidance to junior engineers and design staff.
  • Collaborate with internal teams, subconsultants, and stakeholders to support efficient project delivery.
  • Participate in technical discussions, design reviews, and coordination meetings.
  • Contribute to proposal development and pursuit efforts as a technical resource.
  • Stay current with industry trends, evolving design standards, and emerging technologies.
What You Need to Succeed:
  • Bachelor's degree in civil or Structural Engineering (master's preferred)
  • Professional Engineer (PE) license in Colorado, additional states a plus
  • Minimum 8+ years of experience in bridge and transportation engineering
  • Strong background in bridge design and structural analysis
  • Familiarity with UDOT standards and procedures preferred
  • Familiarity with CDOT standards and procedures preferred
