The Role

We want you to join our Interstate Bridge Replacement Program (IBR) team as a fiscal analyst! In this position, you will perform work related to budget and expenditure analysis for one of ODOT’s most complex, high-profile and nationally significant transportation programs. You will also directly support ODOT’s commitment to safe, reliable and well-managed multimodal infrastructure that serves the Pacific Northwest now and in the future.

If you’re a fiscal professional, don’t miss out on this opportunity to shape how a landmark program that spans two states is governed and executed by offering meaningful influence, cross-agency collaboration, and the chance to solve complex challenges at the intersection of public finance, infrastructure delivery and program governance. Come join us if you are motivated by impact, leadership and public service!

The Interstate Bridge Replacement program (IBR) is a multi-billion-dollar joint effort by the State of Oregon and the State of Washington to address the regional highway problems facing the I-5 highway system crossing over the Columbia River between Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington. The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) and the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) are working together to develop solutions for seismic resiliency, safety improvements, congestion reduction, reliable transit, active transportation, and reliable movement of freight. The program ensures transportation system improvements are properly designed, funded and constructed.

The person in this position will be a State of Oregon employee. This position is based in Portland, Oregon, and the work location will be at our joint office in Vancouver, Washington. This is a hybrid position with expectation of working in the office for up to two days a week and/or as business needs demand.

We provide a safe and reliable multimodal transportation system that connects people and helps Oregon's communities and economy thrive. We encourage people from all backgrounds and abilities to apply for our positions.
