SUNY Poly - CAREER FAIR FULL-TIME ENTRY LEVEL OPPORTUNITIES
About The Position
Popli Design Group (PDG), a multidisciplinary architecture and engineering firm, is hiring entry-level professionals for full-time opportunities across its teams. Roles include Junior Engineers in transportation design, bridge inspection, civil, structural, electrical, and mechanical disciplines, as well as Architectural Designers, Survey Technicians, and Transportation Construction Inspectors. Opportunities are based across PDG offices in Buffalo, Rochester, Binghamton, Albany, and NYC/NJ, with candidates matched to an opportunity suited to their career development. Transportation Design Junior Engineers assist with design calculations, details, specifications, and cost estimates for bridge replacements and rehabilitations and highway projects. They also help review construction submittals and make occasional field visits to collect data, evaluate existing conditions, and address construction issues. Bridge Inspection Junior Engineers assist team leaders with field inspections, gather data, perform inspection tasks under experienced professionals’ guidance, and conduct structural analyses to assess bridge capacity. Transportation Construction Inspectors inspect construction operations and materials, conduct field tests, interpret construction materials and objects, identify unsafe practices and site conditions, inspect erosion control and protection of environmental features and utilities, and report measured or tested properties. Civil Junior Engineers support civil and site design projects by developing hydraulic or water distribution models and design calculations, preparing technical documents, plans, specifications, reports, and cost estimates, and assembling drawing packages using tools such as Civil 3D and MicroStation. Structural Junior Engineers work on design and analysis, modeling and drafting, plans and specifications, technical reports, cost estimates, and construction observation. Projects primarily serve municipal and academic or institutional sectors and may involve new construction, additions, investigations, assessments, capacity analysis, renovation, rehabilitation, and strengthening existing structures. Electrical Junior Engineers use knowledge of circuit theory, electrical design, power distribution, signs, and controls to create plans with AutoCAD and/or Revit under close supervision. They design portions of electrical systems for new and renovated buildings, including power and lighting. Mechanical Junior Engineers assist with HVAC, plumbing, and/or fire protection system design for building facilities. Under direct supervision, they also perform engineering evaluations and analyses, field inspections, prepare design drawings and technical specifications, and estimate costs. PDG has served clients since 1982 and describes itself as a well-established multidisciplinary architecture and engineering firm. It is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer. The stated good-faith salary range is commensurate with experience, location, and area of study; no specific range is provided.
