This is for Project Engineers who want real exposure, not just a resume line. Very few roles give you visibility, credibility, and access at the same time. This one does.
Most engineers who want to build bridges in New York think the only path is a massive corporate GC with layers of approvals, limited access to decision-makers, and slow career progression. That’s not the case here. This firm is widely regarded as one of the go-to bridge contractors in New York, without operating like a corporate machine.
This is a Manhattan-based heavy civil and bridge contractor, highly respected across the New York market and well known within GCANY.
They consistently deliver NYSDOT and NYCDOT bridge projects, and because of their reputation, their teams are regularly interacting with senior industry leaders, agency representatives, and decision-makers.
As a Senior Project Engineer, you’ll be embedded on high-profile DOT projects, supporting field and office operations while learning how complex infrastructure actually gets delivered in New York. You’ll receive proper training, not sink-or-swim delegation. If earning your P.E is part of your plan, they’ll support that. If you’re ambitious, you’ll be given responsibility as fast as you can handle it.
Who this is best suited for
- Project Engineers with DOT project experience
- Engineers interested in bridges and complex civil work
- People who want growth, exposure, and responsibility early
- Anyone who wants to build a serious career without joining a corporate behemoth
