Greater Chicago Area | $145K-$165K Base Performance Bonuses

Lead major projects. Build lasting client relationships. Influence a growing bridge practice.

An established engineering firm is seeking a bridge leader ready to take greater ownership of projects, mentor talented engineers, and help guide the practice's future.

High employee retention is a defining strength-with average tenure exceeding 10.5 years. This is an opportunity to build your career alongside an experienced team in a collaborative, supportive environment.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Firm ownership opportunities
  • Strong project backlog across transportation infrastructure
  • Meaningful influence over project strategy and team development
  • Professional development and continued leadership growth
  • Comprehensive benefits, retirement contributions, and paid time off

Your Impact

  • Lead bridge and structural projects from planning through delivery.
  • Own project budgets, schedules, scope, and quality.
  • Build trusted relationships with public-sector clients.
  • Guide design decisions and review technical deliverables.
  • Mentor engineers and support proposals and new project pursuits.

What You Bring

  • SE license required
  • 15 years of bridge/structural design and project management experience
  • Bachelor's degree in Civil or Structural Engineering from an ABET-accredited program
  • Experience delivering transportation projects for public agencies
  • Strong knowledge of applicable bridge design standards
  • Proficiency with bridge design, analysis, and drafting software
  • Proven client leadership and staff development skills
