Highway Engineer-In-Training 1
About The Position
Creighton Manning, a GAI company, is seeking a Highway Engineer-In-Training 1 with 0–2 years of experience to support its Highway group. The role applies standard engineering techniques, procedures, and criteria to conventional plans, investigations, and surveys with relatively few complex features, under the general guidance of a Project Engineer or Project Manager. Work may involve small projects or portions of larger projects, including highway design, long-range transportation planning, and traffic impact studies. The position may involve field work, traffic engineering and roadway analysis, designing and laying out project components in 2D and 3D, preparing construction drawings and documents, observing construction for conformance with plans and specifications, writing reports, and estimating costs. The engineer may also collect field data, complete basic engineering analyses and computations, maintain equipment inventory, attend project meetings, perform basic QA/QC, provide limited supervision to technicians, coordinate with municipalities and agencies, and develop and analyze trip generation and traffic volumes. Familiarity with AutoCAD or MicroStation, InRoads, AutoTurn, Synchro, Vissim, or GIS software is a plus but is not required. The company describes a collaborative, client-focused, multidisciplinary environment working on transportation, municipal, land development, and energy infrastructure projects. The role offers comprehensive benefits, wellness programs, employee discounts, and professional growth opportunities. Hourly pay ranges vary by location: Albany and Syracuse, NY: $31.50–$39; Poughkeepsie, NY: $32–$41; and Westchester–White Plains, NY: $32.50–$45.
