About The Position
This role offers the opportunity to take technical ownership of complex bridge projects while mentoring engineers and partnering closely with transportation clients throughout the Southeast. You’ll serve as a technical leader on the analysis, design, and delivery of prestressed concrete, reinforced concrete, and structural steel bridges, guiding projects from preliminary engineering through final construction plans. The work spans state DOT and transportation agency clients—including South Carolina DOT (SCDOT)—and applies AASHTO LRFD and state-specific design criteria to deliver safe, resilient, and constructible solutions. Experience with SCDOT is valued, but the focus remains on strong technical judgment, hands‑on design expertise, and collaborative leadership.
