About The Position

This is a strong opportunity for an experienced Senior Civil / Roadway Engineer to contribute to major aviation and infrastructure improvements at Orlando International Airport through American Infrastructure Development, Inc. (AID). The selected professional will provide a combination of civil and roadway engineering, construction observation, field coordination, design review, project support, and client coordination within one of the country's busiest aviation environments. The role is designed for an experienced engineer who can confidently move between engineering design, active construction sites, project meetings, contractor coordination, and communication with airport representatives. Depending on experience, the selected professional may assume responsibilities ranging from Senior Project Engineer to Project Manager, Construction Engineering, or senior client-facing leadership. The strongest fit will be a self-starter who takes ownership of assignments, identifies potential project challenges before they affect delivery, communicates proactively, and understands how engineering decisions affect constructability, cost, schedule, safety, and airport operations. This position also provides an opportunity to develop highly specialized experience across aviation infrastructure, roadway engineering, construction administration, and airport capital-improvement programs.
