Job Description

Job Description

Simply Put, A Great Place to Work

Benesch is a growing, multi-disciplined planning, engineering, and professional services firm. We enhance infrastructure and communities across the country – creating spaces and providing connections in ways that make a difference.

We pride ourselves on being nimble enough to remain responsive to client needs yet large enough to offer exceptional bench strength. As a member of our team, you'll have an opportunity to draw from those resources when you need them and, likewise, contribute your expertise when you have something to share.

At Benesch, we are looking for candidates with varied backgrounds and worldviews. We are committed to offering an inclusive work environment where everyone feels valued and respected. Statistics show that women and underrepresented groups are less likely to apply for a position if they don't meet 100% of the qualifications. If this statement resonates with you, don't be so hard on yourself—apply for the job!

Transportation Project Engineer

Benesch is hiring a Project Engineer to join our talented team in our Denver office! On our team, you will have the opportunity to work on various infrastructure projects for State DOT's, local municipalities and private clients. You will provide design support for roadways, driveways, sidewalks, greenways, parks, multimodal improvements, and bridge replacement projects. You will regularly interact and coordinate designs efforts with the hydraulic, traffic, structures, environmental and other disciplines to develop turnkey projects.

Location

This position will be based in our Denver office.

The Impact You Will Have
  • Working on the design of roadways, highways, and interstates from preliminary to final design 
  • Develop plans, specifications, reports, and cost estimates
  • Coordinate with reviewers and other disciplines to ensure accuracy and quality of work
  • Contribute to proposal development
  • Directly assist Project Managers and Design Leaders
  • Manage and maintain project documentation
  • Collaborate with a dynamic team to complete project requirements and deliver a quality design to the client
What We Are Looking For
  • Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering, or higher, is required
  • 10+ years of roadway design experience 
  • PE is required
  • CDOT roadway design experience preferred
  • Experience working with clients such as State and County Departments of Transportation, and municipal.
  • Proficient at using Microstation and/or Inroads (Open Roads Designer a plus)
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills

The expected compensation range for this position is displayed in accordance with the Colorado Equal Pay for Equal Work Act. The final agreed-upon compensation is based on numerous factors, including but not limited to individual education, qualifications, prior work experience, and geographic location. The total annual compensation package will consist of a base salary, overtime, and bonuses.

Benefits: 

Our benefits package is designed to take care of our employees. Benesch offers a generous paid time benefits plan that increases throughout your career plus several paid holidays. Our benefits include medical, dental, and vision benefits. We also include company-paid life insurance, short term, and long-term disability plans. Benesch offers a 401K plan and profit-sharing contributions to the 401K plan. From insurance and retirement plan to our wellness programs, we provide employee benefits that meet your wants and needs.

Colorado Pay Range

$104,000—$135,000 USD

Why Benesch
