• Demonstrate knowledge and application of engineering principles and ability to complete design and analysis calculations.
• Review or check design calculations, engineering estimates, and plans developed by others.
• Perform hydraulic studies in relation to bridge design development.
• Provide mentorship and support to other engineers.

What You Will Bring:

• Must have ABET Accredited Bachelor’s Degree in Civil Engineering.
• Minimum of 5 years professional experience with understanding of bridge design and engineering principles. 
• Ohio PE License (or can be obtained within 6 months of employment).
• Experience in steel and concrete design.
