Job Description

This individual will develop roadway design models and construction plan sets using Bentley MicroStation OpenRoads Designer (ORD), with Civil 3D experience also considered for candidates willing to learn ORD. Responsibilities include supporting project delivery, coordinating with project managers and design teams, and ensuring alignment with project scope, schedule, and deliverables. Depending on experience, this role may also include project leadership, client interaction, and mentorship of junior staff.

Working within a collaborative team this individual will typically support one to two projects at a time while gaining increasing technical responsibility and ownership.
Success in this role requires strong roadway design and modeling experience, knowledge of DOT standards and highway design principles, and the ability to develop project cost estimates. Experience with drainage design, grading, traffic engineering, and stormwater BMPs is preferred but not required. We are seeking a collaborative, self-motivated engineer who is interested in long-term professional growth and expanding technical and project management responsibilities.
This position offers exposure to both Design-Build and Design-Bid-Build projects across Virginia, including several high-profile trail and transportation improvement initiatives. In addition to design and delivery responsibilities, the engineer will have opportunities to collaborate with VDOT on policy development, program initiatives, and early-stage project planning, making this an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys project variety, client engagement, and meaningful impact on transportation infrastructure.
