  • Lead cross-functional teams on intermodal or other rail terminal designs, aligning skills and resources with project goals.
  • Serve as the primary liaison for clients and internal stakeholders.

  • Build strong client relationships to secure future opportunities.

Qualifications

You are passionate about:

  • Having ownership in the work you do.
  • Using your talents to positively affect communities.

You bring to the team:

  • PE license required.
  • 8+ years of project experience in rail track design.
  • Bachelor's degree in civil engineering required.
  • Proven ability to manage contracts, lead teams, and exceed client expectations.
  • Strong communication, leadership, and problem-solving skills.
  • Valid driver's license and willingness to travel as needed.

  • Receive a competitive 401(k) match
