Job 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 in Blueprint, 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.

  • 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!)
  • 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
  • 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.
It is the policy of our company to follow equal employment opportunity procedures in compliance with federal, state and local criteria. We will provide all applicants for employment, and all employees, with equal opportunity without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex, height, weight, marital status, arrest record, disability, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, genetic information, military or veteran status, and/or any other protected classes covered by any local, state and federal laws.
