Salary
$140,000–$165,000
About the company
An established engineering firm in the Charlotte area with a growing structures group. It partners closely with construction teams, so its engineers are involved from the proposal stage through construction rather than handing off drawings and moving on.
The opportunity
This role suits an engineer who wants technical ownership, enjoys working alongside builders, and is ready to develop the next generation of bridge engineers.
You will act as Engineer of Record or Engineer in Charge on bridge projects, guide them from proposal through design and into construction, and help shape a structures practice that is still growing, with high autonomy and a clear path to technical leadership.
Key responsibilities
Act as Engineer of Record or Engineer in Charge on bridge projects
Guide projects from proposal through design and into construction
Build project plans covering scope, schedule, staffing, and technical approach
Manage several projects at once while holding to quality, budget, and schedule targets
Lead analysis and design of steel, prestressed concrete, and cast-in-place concrete bridges
Produce and review plans, calculations, specifications, quantities, and cost estimates
Contribute to design-build proposals, ATCs, value engineering, constructability reviews, and risk sessions
Work directly with contractors, owners, and other design disciplines to develop buildable solutions
Mentor junior engineers through technical guidance and QA/QC reviews, and support business development
Ideal profile
Active PE license
10+ years of bridge design experience with increasing responsibility
Design-build project experience is required
Proven ability to manage projects independently and lead multidisciplinary teams
Engineer of Record or Engineer in Charge experience preferred
Solid grasp of constructability and how contractors operate
Design experience across steel, prestressed, and reinforced concrete bridges
Proficiency with bridge design and analysis software such as MicroStation, OpenBridge, LEAP, or CSiBridge
State DOT project experience preferred
Compensation & benefits
The posted base salary range is $140,000 to $165,000. Full detail on the package is shared at intake before you speak to the client.
How to apply
Three ways to start the conversation.
Send your résumé, book a call, or apply straight from the LinkedIn posting. Whichever route you pick, one person handles your application from first reply to offer.
