Lead Impactful Bridge Projects With a Firm Where Engineers Build Careers

Are you an experienced Bridge Structural Engineer looking for a long-term opportunity with a firm that values technical expertise, leadership, and career growth?

Join an established engineering consulting firm known for its exceptional employee retention, with the average employee staying 10.5+ years. This is a team where professionals enjoy their work, collaborate closely, and build lasting relationships. The company creates a strong culture through team events, an annual retreat, and memorable experiences throughout the year.

What You'll Do

• Lead bridge and transportation structure projects from planning through final delivery.
• Manage project scope, schedule, budget, and quality.
• Perform and review structural calculations, plans, and specifications.
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to engineering staff.
• Coordinate with clients, project teams, and external partners.
• Support proposals, client relationships, and business development efforts.
• Deliver high-quality infrastructure projects throughout the Greater Chicago region.

What You'll Bring

• Bachelor's degree in Civil or Structural Engineering.
• Professional Engineer (PE) license required.
• 3-5+ years of bridge design and structural engineering experience.
• Proven project management experience.
• Experience with transportation infrastructure projects.
• Knowledge of AASHTO and state DOT design standards.
• Proficiency with MicroStation and structural design software.
• Strong communication, leadership, and client relationship skills.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• $115,000–$150,000 base salary plus performance-based bonus.
• Average employee tenure of 10.5+ years.
• Stable project pipeline with exciting bridge and transportation work.
• Competitive benefits and retirement plan.
• Professional development and leadership opportunities.
• Collaborative team environment where employees genuinely enjoy working together.
• Annual company retreat and team events that create strong connections.

This is an opportunity to join a firm where your experience is valued, your leadership makes an impact, and you can build a rewarding long-term career.
