If you are looking for a technically challenging project with real-world impact and the opportunity to work on a structure few engineers will ever encounter, this role is for you.

- Participate, lead, and review designs for a variety of bridge replacement and rehabilitation projects, assuming responsibility for design plans and calculations.
- Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers, promoting a culture of continuous learning and development.
