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.

- 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–$135,000 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.
