  • 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.

  • 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.
