HDR has an opening for a Bridge Inspection Engineer to join our Bridge Group in Michigan out of our Ann Arbor or East Lansing offices. The Bridge Inspection Engineer will be expected to perform bridge inspections and requires familiarity with a broad spectrum of bridge inspection equipment, methods, and processes. The candidate will conduct National Bridge Inspection Standards (NBIS) inspections, write field inspection reports, and perform basic mathematical calculations. Field inspections will be performed from ground level, hydraulic equipment, ladder access, or through the use of an assisted-climbing technique. As a Qualified Team Leader, the candidate will provide supervision of the bridge inspection team and provide support to the Project Managers in planning inspection activities. The position will primarily involve bridge inspection and office engineering. The field inspection durations and the associated physical effort vary widely. Physical effort during inspections includes walking up and down slopes, climbing fences and handling a ladder, as well as handling of tools, gear, supplies, etc. as needed during bridge inspections. Additionally, working with aerial lift equipment and driving bucket trucks and pickup trucks will be necessary. The successful candidate should understand some of the field work is performed at substantial heights and should not be averse to working in such conditions. During field work the successful candidate may work adjacent to busy roads and interstates, in access equipment within an area secured by traffic control, and in inclement weather conditions. Occasional night and weekend work will be required along with travel in state. Out of state travel on other related assignments is available. The position will support other bridge and transportation related assignments such as design and load rating as needed. Opportunities for growth are abundant through on the job training and skill development, as well as collaboration with our national bridge inspection practice including our Society of Professional Rope Access Technicians (SPRAT) Team.
