If you are looking for a place where your transportation engineering experience can make a visible impact, Barry Isett & Associates (Isett) offers the opportunity to grow with a respected, employee-owned multi-discipline engineering and consulting firm headquartered in Allentown, PA, with offices across eastern and central Pennsylvania. Our company is a values-based organization which has been recognized for its award-winning culture through several regional and statewide programs:

  • Traffic-calming design
  • Intersection design

Requirements

  • B.S. in Civil Engineering or a related field
  • Professional Engineer (PE) license preferred
  • Experience with AutoCAD Civil 3D or similar engineering software
  • Technical knowledge and/or previous experience in transportation-related work
