  • Coordinate multidisciplinary engineering teams while providing technical leadership and mentorship.
  • Develop and maintain strong relationships with public agencies, municipalities, counties, and transportation clients.
  • Collaborate with business development efforts by identifying upcoming opportunities and supporting pursuit strategies.
  • Monitor project backlog, workload, and performance to ensure projects remain on schedule and within budget.

  • Ensure engineering work complies with applicable IDOT standards, local agency requirements, and industry best practices.
  • Support proposal preparation, project presentations, and client meetings as needed.
Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
  • Professional Engineer (PE) license in Illinois or reciprocal state license to obtain Illinois licensure.
  • 7+ years of experience managing transportation engineering projects.
  • Strong background in IDOT roadway and bridge design projects.
  • Experience managing and mentoring engineering staff.
  • Knowledge of county and municipal transportation projects is highly preferred.
  • Proficiency with MicroStation/OpenRoads Designer, and Adobe software.
  • Experience with AutoCAD Civil 3D is a plus.
  • Strong communication, organizational, and client relationship management skills.
  • Ability to successfully manage multiple priorities in a collaborative environment.

This position is offered with a competitive compensation structure, matching 401(k) plan, strong medical benefits, a flexible work environment and excellent professional development. This role would suite an established Transportation Project Manager or an experienced Transportation Project Engineer ready for that next career step.
