CHA Consulting, Inc. is currently seeking a Senior Structural Bridge Engineer to join our Transportation - Bridge Team from our office in either Boston, MA; Hartford, CT; or Providence, RI. The right candidate may have the option of working remotely from home. 

CHA believes our employees should have the time and flexibility to balance work and personal commitments. We offer most employees the option of a hybrid schedule with a work week that includes both office and work from home days.

YOUR IMPACT

CHA’s bridge professionals incorporate collaborative and diverse thinking with practical and cost-effective designs that responsibly improve mobility and safety. We have inspected, designed, managed and overseen the construction of a wide array of grade separated crossings, retaining systems, and conveyance structures throughout the United States. As the average age of our nation’s bridges nears 50 years, successful bridge projects must balance complex analytics, engineering innovation and context sensitivity with economic prudency and long-term feasibility.

At CHA, our Senior Structural Bridge Engineer provides advanced judgment and analysis techniques for the design development, implementation and technical analysis of various systems to implement new products, or changes to an existing scheme, to suit individual client needs. This key role is responsible for planning, scheduling, conducting and coordinating detailed phases of a project independently with other engineering disciplines and project management staff. The Senior Structural Bridge Engineer mentors junior staff members and provides technical review of their work as needed.

Additionally, the individual in this role recommends alterations to development and design to improve quality of products and/or procedures as well as selects proper procedures to self-check their own work for completeness and accuracy in technical reports and calculations. The Senior Structural Bridge Engineer identifies, develops, and gathers technical resources necessary to complete assignments. They are expected to continuously monitor the progress and performance of the engineering design development against the project work plan.

At CHA, you can build a career and find your passion across our diverse business lines and project teams. Being part of CHA means being part of a team of talented professionals, where you’ll find support for your career growth and the opportunity to impact our industry and our communities.
