  • Professional Engineer (PE) license for North Dakota required
  • 10+ years of experience in transportation design or related infrastructure
  • Experience managing teams and leading complex projects
  • Strong understanding of project management principles (budgeting, scheduling, QA/QC)
  • Experience working with NDDOT and/or public agency clients
  • Proficiency in relevant design and production tools

What Will Help You Stand Out:

  • Experience leading a division or specialty group within an engineering firm
  • Proven track record of implementing new tools, processes, or innovations
  • Active involvement in industry organizations or technical committees
  • Business development experience, including proposals and client engagement
  • Experience working across multiple offices or disciplines
