Job Description
Do you enjoy leading complex construction projects that shape how people and goods move through one of Michigan's busiest urban regions? As the engineering manager licensed 14 (construction engineer) for the Michigan Department of Transportation's (MDOT) Detroit Transportation Service Center, you will lead professional engineering staff and technicians and guide construction operations that deliver critical MDOT transportation projects. In this role, you will coordinate with TSC leadership, regional partners, contractors and MDOT's central office in Lansing to ensure projects are delivered successfully while maintaining alignment across the department. Your work will support highly visible projects along major transportation corridors that serve millions of travelers and commercial vehicles moving through Metro Detroit.
Are you energized by solving challenging engineering problems and managing projects that require innovative construction solutions? Detroit's dense urban infrastructure creates opportunities to work on projects that many engineers only encounter once in their careers. Upcoming work includes building a 14-foot diameter drainage tunnel (an uncommon infrastructure project completed only once before), reconfiguring a freeway interchange, and rebuilding and widening a freeway. Recent work included a bridge replacement where the structure was assembled and rolled into place, minimizing disruption within a heavily traveled corridor. These projects require creative problem solving, technical expertise and strong leadership to successfully deliver complex infrastructure improvements.
Do you enjoy mentoring engineers and technicians and building strong, high-performing teams? In this role, you will help develop the next generation of transportation professionals by supporting the technical and professional growth of staff. Your leadership will help ensure MDOT continues to deliver innovative infrastructure solutions that serve and connect people, communities and the economy through transportation while maintaining excellence in project delivery across Michigan's largest urban region.
As the next engineering manager licensed 14, you will be responsible for:

• Managing the delivery of TSC transportation processes for in-house construction engineering, inspection and oversight of transportation projects, as well as acting as the engineer of record for MDOT construction contracts as assigned.
• Initiating and maintaining contact with local communities to jointly review and resolve transportation issues.
• Proactively work with the TSC manager to meet the operational needs of external customers and negotiate agreements where appropriate.
• Performing functions of a manager, including coordinating, assigning and training staff in conjunction with the TSC manager and region training coordinator.
• Providing direction and oversight of staff activities and practices, determining best practices and ensuring the sharing of these best practices across the state.
• Implementing and administering processes and process improvements to ensure delivery of high-quality products and services.
