Airfield Engineering Associate I
About The Position
RS&H is currently seeking an airfield engineering associate to join our passionate aviation team in Tampa, FL. In this role, you will collaborate in an in-office team environment to plan and design civil infrastructure projects for airports across the United States. You will work daily in AutoCAD to develop engineering plans, including airfield geometric design, civil site and land development, and renovations or modifications to existing civil infrastructure. Under the mentorship of experienced aviation and civil engineers, you will support a wide range of projects, including runway, taxiway, and apron improvements; asphalt and concrete pavement design; and stormwater and utility infrastructure systems. Occasional travel (generally less than 25%) will provide opportunities to coordinate directly with airport authorities, airlines, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and construction management teams—helping you gain firsthand insight into project requirements and real-world aviation operations.
Requirements
- You have a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering from an ABET-accredited university.
- You are willing to dive in and learn different software platforms such as AutoCAD.
- You have critical thinking skills. You don’t need to know how to do everything independently, but you must be willing to ask why when you don’t understand.
- You enjoy working with a team and have the experience to prove it. We are very collaborative; every project is the whole group’s responsibility. We dig in and get it done together.
- Your attention to detail and accuracy are crucial. You are drawing plans for aviation infrastructure. You’re someone who triple-checks your work before turning anything in.
Nice To Haves
