About The Position

RETTEW is seeking a Roadway Engineer II to join our Transportation team and contribute to roadway and infrastructure projects that improve mobility, safety, and connectivity in the communities we serve. This opportunity is designed for an early-career engineer who has established a foundation in roadway design and is ready to take greater ownership of technical assignments while continuing to develop their engineering judgment and capabilities. You’ll work alongside experienced engineers, designers, and project managers on PennDOT and other transportation projects while gaining exposure to different aspects of roadway project delivery. We recognize that roadway engineers can develop experience in different areas of design early in their careers. You do not need to have done everything. We are looking for strong roadway fundamentals, PennDOT project experience, professional design-software experience, and the ability to continue growing technically.

Engineer-in-Training (EIT) certification.
Professional engineering experience involving roadway or transportation infrastructure design.
Professional experience supporting PennDOT roadway or transportation projects.
Professional experience using CAD and/or transportation-design software.
Working knowledge of roadway engineering fundamentals and design principles.
Experience preparing or contributing to engineering plans, calculations, reports, or other technical deliverables.
Ability to interpret and apply engineering standards and project requirements.
Strong written and verbal communication skills.
Ability to work effectively as part of a multidisciplinary project team.
Ability to manage assignments, priorities, and deadlines.
