Job description

V3 Companies, a multidisciplinary AEC firm, is seeking a Structural Design Technician to join our Structural Group in Woodridge, Illinois. This position supports the planning, design, and documentation of bridge and transportation infrastructure projects delivered for the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), Illinois Tollway, and local agencies.

This role is focused on model‑based design and digital delivery within a Bentley design environment and works closely with structural engineers, roadway designers, and project managers throughout all phases of project development.

Here’s what you’ll do:

  • Assist with the preparation of structural drawings, layouts, and details for bridge and transportation infrastructure projects.
  • Develop and maintain structural discipline models using Bentley OpenBridge Modeler (OBM), OpenRoads Designer (ORD), MicroStation, and ProStructures, consistent with IDOT and Illinois Tollway requirements.
  • Generate 3D model elements and plan deliverables that align with the required Level of Development (LOD) at each project phase.
  • Produce contract drawings and digital deliverables derived from the approved structural models.
  • Coordinate the structural design with roadway and other discipline models through design reviews and 3D coordination processes.
  • Collaborate with project managers, structural engineers, and other team members to support project schedules and design objectives.
  • Review drawings and model content for accuracy, consistency, and conformance with applicable standards.
  • Support quality control efforts by addressing internal review and agency comments.
  • Maintain organized digital project files and documentation in accordance with company and agency CADD/BIM standards.

We’re looking for:

  • Associate’s degree in Computer‑Aided Drafting, Engineering Technology, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
  • 5+ years of experience in structural drafting or design for bridge or transportation infrastructure projects.
  • Proficiency with Bentley software, including OpenBridge Modeler (required) and MicroStation (required).
  • Experience with OpenRoads Designer (preferred) and ProStructures (preferred).
  • Working knowledge of ProjectWise Design Integration, including the use of ProjectWise‑managed workspaces to access and apply project‑specific configurations, standards, and resources within Bentley applications.
  • Familiarity with IDOT and Illinois Tollway standards, including bridge plan presentation, digital deliverables, and model‑based workflows.
  • Working knowledge of structural and civil engineering principles related to bridge design.
  • Strong attention to detail with the ability to manage multiple tasks and deadlines.
  • Effective communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team.

We offer:

  • Competitive salary, benefits, and performance-based bonuses
  • Health savings Account with V3 funding contribution
  • Retirement plan with up to 6% company match
  • Paid time off, holidays, and volunteer paid time off
  • Professional development opportunities
  • Collaborative and supportive work environment
