Responsibility connects us, empowers us, binds us to our community, and challenges us to do what is right. Clean water, safe roads, efficient energy, resilient power sources, and buildings that enhance their surroundings – these are significant responsibilities we take to heart.

At CHA, we believe in responsibly improving the world we live in, and we ask our team to aspire to that ideal every day. At the foundation of our responsibility is our commitment to inclusion and diversity and choosing to treat everyone with dignity and equality. We also take accountability for making decisions that promote sustainability in our business and our designs. We are on a mission to reduce our environmental footprint and bring greener solutions to our clients. We believe it is our responsibility and work to do that each day.

We are currently seeking a Bridge Hydraulics Engineer to join our Bridge Team. This is a fully remote position, and the ideal candidate will live in the Southeastern US.

CHA’s bridge professionals incorporate collaborative and diverse thinking with practical and cost-effective designs that responsibly improve mobility and safety. We have inspected, designed, managed, and overseen the construction of a wide array of grade separated crossings, retaining systems, and conveyance structures throughout the United States.  As the average age of our nation’s bridges nears 50 years, successful bridge projects must balance complex analytics, engineering innovation and context sensitivity with economic prudency and long-term feasibility.

At CHA, our Bridge Hydraulics Engineer provides advanced judgment and analysis techniques for the design development, implementation, and technical analysis of various systems to implement new products, or changes to an existing scheme, to suit individual client needs. This key role is responsible for planning, scheduling, conducting, and coordinating detailed phases of a project independently with other engineering disciplines and project management staff. The Bridge Hydraulics Engineer mentors junior staff members and provides technical review of their work as needed.

The Bridge Hydraulics Engineer recommends alterations to development and design to improve quality of products and/or procedures as well as selects proper procedures to self-check his/her own work for completeness and accuracy in technical reports and calculations. The Bridge Hydraulics Engineer identifies, develops, and gathers technical resources necessary to complete assignments and continuously monitors the progress and performance of the engineering design development against the project work plan.
