Graduate Transportation Engineer

Job Title: Graduate Transportation Engineer

About the Role

Pennoni is hiring Graduate Civil Engineers to join our Transportation Engineering team on a full-time, direct basis.

Key Responsibilities

Highway Engineer

• Participate in the development of engineering design projects, working in a team environment to produce engineering plans, documents, and reports.
• Review and apply standard engineering design principles.
• Implement the use of 3-D modelling software for transportation infrastructure projects using tools like MicroStation / InRoads or AutoCAD / Civil 3D.
• Contribute to developing sets of transportation infrastructure plans (including highway design, hydrology and drainage calculations/design, SWM/E&SC design, water and sanitary sewer utility layout, MOT plans, and geometry).
• Support projects/tasks of various sizes for clients including state agencies, counties, and local municipalities.

Bridge Engineer

• Assist with the structural analysis and/or design of Bridges (highway & railroad), culverts, retaining walls, and overhead sign structures on various projects (bridge replacement/rehabilitation, highway improvement). This includes multi-disciplinary projects for various agencies in the Mid-Atlantic region.
• Supplement bridge design functions with involvement in NBIS Bridge inspections across the Pennoni footprint on an as-needed basis, with occasional opportunities for domestic travel.
• Learn and apply professional techniques to produce high-quality engineering documents for bridge design/inspection reports, specifications, studies, and other engineering documents.

Traffic Engineer

• Assist with traffic engineering tasks ranging from traffic impact analysis (TIA), safety evaluations, signal analysis and design.
• Prepare signing and pavement marking plans, MOT/construction phasing plans, transportation management plans (TMPs), and lighting plans.
• Assist with traffic study reviews from third parties for new developments and projects.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Software: MicroStation, InRoads, AutoCAD, Civil 3D, OpenRoads, Bluebeam Revu, GIS tools, STAAD, LEAP Bridge, LEAP Concrete, AASHTOWare, BrR, BRASS, SAP/CSI, SYNCHRO.
• Design Areas: Highway geometry development, water resources design, overall plan preparation, drainage design, stormwater management, erosion and sediment control, bridge design, structural analysis, steel/concrete design, basic hydrology/hydraulics, basic geotechnical/foundation design.
• Planning & Documentation: MOT plans, signing and pavement marking plans, construction phasing plans, transportation management plans (TMPs), lighting plans, bridge inspection reports, specifications, studies.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering or a related discipline (e.g., Structural Engineering).
• Basic understanding of engineering design parameters.
• Experience working with highway and/or roadway design is strongly preferred.
• Experience working with drainage design, stormwater management, and erosion and sediment control.
• Completion of Certified Construction Review (CCR) training is a plus.
• Master’s degree in Civil Engineering with a Structural Engineering focus is a plus.
• Successful completion of FHWA-NHI-13005 (Safety Inspection of In-Service Bridges) is a plus.
• Bridge engineering experience with a major agency is a plus.
• Working knowledge of traffic signal design software (SYNCHRO) is a plus.
• Familiarity with maintenance of traffic schemes, construction phasing, and traffic control plans.
• Experience with lighting design software is a plus.
• E. / E.I.T. is a plus.
• Established knowledge of civil engineering principles.
• Relevant experience with engineering software, such as MicroStation and AutoCAD.
• Experience and interest in working on various levels of engineering infrastructure projects in the Mid-Atlantic region.
• Organization and planning ability is a plus.
