Job description

Simply Put, A Great Place to Work

Benesch is a growing, multi-disciplined planning, engineering, and professional services firm. We enhance infrastructure and communities across the country – creating spaces and providing connections in ways that make a difference.

We pride ourselves on being nimble enough to remain responsive to client needs yet large enough to offer exceptional bench strength. As a member of our team, you'll have an opportunity to draw from those resources when you need them and, likewise, contribute your expertise when you have something to share.

At Benesch, we are looking for candidates with varied backgrounds and worldviews. We are committed to offering an inclusive work environment where everyone feels valued and respected. Statistics show that women and underrepresented groups are less likely to apply for a position if they don't meet 100% of the qualifications. If this statement resonates with you, don't be so hard on yourself—apply for the job!

Structural-Bridge Technical Manager

We have a career opportunity for a Structural-Bridge Engineer seeking to grow their career as a Technical Manager. As a Structural-Bridge Technical Manager, you will both self-perform and direct project teams in the planning and design of transportation structures projects. In this role, you will have the opportunity to be viewed as a subject matter expert and provide technical advice to staff to ensure the successful execution of projects and help drive the growth of the IL Structural group.
The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of successfully managing various structural-bridge projects, ensuring the development of high-quality engineering documents. Previous experience mentoring and directing staff on technical skills is highly desired.

Location

This position will have a hybrid schedule, and when in the office, you will work in either our Chicago, IL or Naperville, IL office.

Key Projects

Our Illinois Division's structural team is proud to lead high-impact projects that demonstrate the depth and diversity of our technical expertise, including:

  • IDOT – I-39 Reconstruction Project – Designing multiple new bridge structures along the reconstructed I-39 corridor, including the complex Ramp BD over US 20 bridge – a three-span continuous steel curved plate girder structure with steel straddle bent piers.
  • CDOT – 100th Street Bascule Bridge Rehabilitation Project – Developing a comprehensive rehabilitation plan for this historic structure, including complete replacement of the truss structure over the river.
  • City of Elgin – Kimball Street Bridge over Fox River Reconstruction Project – Completing preliminary design for the full reconstruction of the existing 11-span bridge with a new five-span continuous steel haunched girder structure, incorporating a new grade separated multi-use path crossing of Kimball by the Fox River Trail.
  • Elk Grove Village – Arlington Heights Road Pedestrian Bridge Project – Creating a new grade-separated connection to the Busse Woods Forest Preserve with an 850-ft curved steel and concrete structure, featuring a 140-ft steel V-frame structure crossing over the roadway and aesthetic enhancements throughout.
  • Contractor Engineering – Working for industry-leading Contractors to deliver demolition plans and erection plans with a focus on complex structures, including:  highly skewed steel and concrete spans along the Illinois Tollway; steel plate girder river crossings with spans exceeding 300-ft in length; signature tied arch bridges.
The Impact You Will Have
  • Mentor and direct the advancement of the technical skills of staff while executing projects.
  • Manage technical elements of a project, including assessing what analyses need to be completed and what is the most practical approach (i.e. software, design assumptions, etc.) for that analysis.
  • Perform, review, and manage technical analysis and design. Take responsibility for the completeness of design details.
  • Communicate technical progress and issues to Project Manager promptly and continuously.
  • Adhere to all internal procedures for quality control, documentation, and project tracking.
  • Contribute to other project work as a technical specialist or advisor.
  • Provide input into the growth of the practice.
  • Work toward being a leading subject matter expert on targeted elements within the discipline.
What We Are Looking For
  • B.S. Degree in Civil Engineering (Structural) required; Master of Science in Civil Engineering (Structural) required.
  • SE License in IL required.
  • A minimum of 8 years' experience in structural engineering with a transportation focus.
  • IDOT, ISTHA, and CDOT experience preferred.
  • Advanced knowledge of software appropriate for the discipline, showing proficiency in most programs specific to this role/discipline.
  • Advanced knowledge of applicable codes and standards that govern the discipline.
  • Experience in MicroStation is required; experience in 3D bridge modeling is highly desirable.
  • Experience with Construction Engineering services is highly desirable.
