Your Opportunity

This role offers an opportunity for an experienced engineer who enjoys hands-on technical work and is interested in learning more about project management.

As a Senior Highway Engineer, you’ll bring your experience in highways, streets, and roadway design to lead and support a wide range of projects—from conceptual planning through final design and construction. You’ll manage the design and delivery of transportation projects while working independently on smaller assignments and collaboratively on larger initiatives. This role involves applying advanced knowledge, sound engineering principles, and best practices to solve complex problems, while also supporting Project Managers in areas such as budgeting, scheduling, and client coordination.

The role will guide and mentor junior staff but will not have direct report responsibilities. Sitting in our Pittsburgh, PA office, you’ll be exposed to a wide variety of roadway projects including corridors, interchanges, intersections, and mega projects. 

You’ll support projects such as the U.S. 219 Meyersdale to Old Salisbury Road - Learn more at: www.penndot.pa.gov/RegionalOffices/district-9/PublicMeetings/Somerset-County/us-219-meyersdale-to-old-salisbury/Pages/default.aspx
