Build What Others Only DesignAs a Construction Design Engineer, you’ll go beyond traditional design work and play a key role in how projects actually get built. Reporting to the Director of Engineering, you’ll support complex construction efforts across the Midwest, including rail transit, bridges, and industrial projects.This is a unique opportunity to work on the temporary works and construction engineering side — solving real-time challenges, supporting field execution, and seeing your designs come to life in the field.What You’ll Work OnIn this role, you’ll be involved in a wide range of construction engineering challenges, including:
- Design falsework for temporary structure support
- Design temporary bridges for construction access
- Design hydraulic systems for vertical / horizontal travel
- Design cofferdams and other soil retention systems
- Bridge analysis for construction equipment and demolition procedures
- Bridge analysis for steel/concrete beam erection stability
- Wood/steel formwork design for concrete slabs and walls
- Analysis of lifting equipment (hoists and rigging)
- Analysis and design of safety systems
- Analysis for barge stability under construction equipment loading
- Provide clear construction and shop drawings using CAD
Why This Role Stands Out
- Work on the “how it gets built” side of engineering, not just theoretical design
- Gain exposure to field-driven problem solving and construction execution
- Be part of a team that supports complex, high-impact infrastructure projects
- Opportunity to learn directly from experienced engineers and construction leaders
- See your work implemented in real time on active job sites
What You Bring
- Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering or related field
- Interest in construction engineering, structural design, or temporary works
- Strong communication skills and attention to detail
- Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
- Collaborative mindset and willingness to learn
- Recent graduates are encouraged to apply — this is an excellent opportunity to launch your career in a specialized and highly valuable area of engineering.
Who This Is Perfect For
- Engineers who want to be closer to construction and field execution
- Candidates interested in bridges, heavy civil, or infrastructure projects
- Those who enjoy problem-solving and variety, not repetitive design work
