Job description

Entry Level Transportation Engineer
Department: Transportation
Employment Type: Full Time
Location: Columbus, OH
Reporting To: Jason Watson
Compensation: $33.00 - $41.00 / hour
Description
The Mannik & Smith Group (MSG) is a people-focused, award-winning, full-service consulting firm offering civil and geotechnical engineering, environmental consulting, planning, landscape architecture, agriculture, surveying, and construction support. Our talented team of 650+ professionals delivers integrated planning, design, engineering, and construction solutions.
Kickstart Your Career in Columbus
Roads don't build themselves - and neither do great careers. MSG is looking for an Entry-Level Transportation Engineer to join our Columbus, OH office and get real, hands-on experience designing the roadways and infrastructure that keep communities moving. If you're the kind of person who gets a little too excited about a well-designed intersection, we want to talk to you. This is a role for someone who wants to learn by doing - plan sets, grading plans, and design calcs, not busywork - alongside a team that'll actually teach you something.
And that commitment to your growth doesn't stop at on-the-job training. This role comes with a guaranteed seat inBlueprint, our new early career leadership program for engineers looking to grow beyond the typical entry-level experience. Over six months, you'll take part in a hands-on curriculum covering professional development, business acumen, and project delivery - including case studies, simulations, and role-play exercises - covering topics like project economics, communication, and leadership fundamentals. It all wraps up with an in-person capstone event where you'll present your work and map out your goals for the year ahead. Your Future Starts With A Plan.
What You'll Do
  • Get your hands dirty designing roadway and highway projects - horizontal and vertical alignments, typical sections, and grading plans
  • Help build out construction documents: plan sets, profiles, cross-sections, and details
  • Run engineering calculations covering roadway geometry, drainage, pavement design, and quantities
  • Contribute to project specs, cost estimates, and quantity take-offs
  • Apply state and local DOT design standards to real project work - and actually understand why they matter
  • Team up with civil/site, drainage, structures, utilities, and survey groups - transportation projects are a team sport
  • Sit in on design reviews and learn from redlines and feedback from senior engineers
  • Get out of the office for field visits and construction support when the opportunity comes up
  • Keep project files organized (yes, even the boring stuff matters!)

What You Bring
  • Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering or a closely related discipline
  • Internship or co-op experience in roadway or transportation design - a strong plus
  • Working knowledge of AutoCAD and/or Civil 3D
  • Bonus points for OpenRoads ORD experience
  • A solid grasp of roadway design fundamentals
  • A willingness to learn, ask questions, and work under the guidance of people who want to see you grow

Why MSG?
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Health insurance with HSA option, Vision, Dental, Life
  • Flexible schedule
  • Paid time off
  • Referral program
  • Tuition reimbursement
  • Catalytic Coaching - a personalized development plan built to grow your contributions today and your opportunities tomorrow. At MSG, bringing out the best in our people isn't a slogan - it's how we operate.
