Original job description
Bridge Structural Project Manager
Greater Chicago Area | $145K–$165K Base + Performance Bonuses
Lead major projects. Build lasting client relationships. Influence a growing bridge practice.
An established engineering firm is seeking a bridge leader ready to take greater ownership of projects, mentor talented engineers, and help guide the practice’s future.
High employee retention is a defining strength - with average tenure exceeding 10.5 years. This is an opportunity to build your career alongside an experienced team in a collaborative, supportive environment.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
• $145K–$165K base + performance bonuses
• Firm ownership opportunities
• Strong project backlog across transportation infrastructure
• Meaningful influence over project strategy and team development
• Professional development and continued leadership growth
• Comprehensive benefits, retirement contributions, and paid time off
Your Impact
• Lead bridge and structural projects from planning through delivery.
• Own project budgets, schedules, scope, and quality.
• Build trusted relationships with public-sector clients.
• Guide design decisions and review technical deliverables.
• Mentor engineers and support proposals and new project pursuits.
What You Bring
• SE license required
• 15+ years of bridge/structural design and project management experience
• Bachelor’s degree in Civil or Structural Engineering from an ABET-accredited program
• Experience delivering transportation projects for public agencies
• Strong knowledge of applicable bridge design standards
• Proficiency with bridge design, analysis, and drafting software
• Proven client leadership and staff development skills
Ready for greater influence, ownership potential, and a team where people stay? Let’s discuss your next move confidentially.
