  • Ensure compliance with MUTCD, FHWA, AASHTO, and applicable state and local agency standards.
  • Serve as the primary technical point of contact for clients, agencies, and project stakeholders while supporting proposal development and scope definition.
  • Provide technical oversight, quality control reviews, and mentorship to engineering and design staff.
  • Coordinate with roadway, structural, planning, utility, drainage, and construction teams to support integrated project delivery and ongoing business development efforts.

  • Design-Build and alternative delivery experience is a plus.
  • Proficiency with MicroStation OpenRoads, AutoCAD Civil 3D, or similar design platforms.
  • Experience with traffic analysis tools such as Synchro, SimTraffic, VISSIM, HCS, or SIDRA is a plus.
  • Strong written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills, with the ability to manage multiple projects, meet schedules and budgets, and maintain positive client relationships.
  • Ability to train and mentor less experienced staff with design and project delivery

Benefits
At Horrocks, you can expect a competitive base salary and award-winning benefits. Including, but not limited to:
