The Opportunity

LHB is looking for an experienced transportation engineer and project leader to help shape the continued growth of our transportation practice.

 

This is an opportunity to do more than manage projects. You’ll lead meaningful transportation work for communities across Minnesota, build trusted client relationships, mentor and develop talented professionals, and have a voice in where our practice goes next.

 

You’ll join a multidisciplinary firm with 60 years of experience and a diverse portfolio of public and private work. That breadth gives our people opportunities to collaborate across disciplines, solve complex problems, and contribute to projects that strengthen the communities where we live and work.

 

If you’ve built a career in transportation and are looking for an opportunity where you can have visible impact on projects, clients, people, and the growth of a practice we’d like to talk.

 

Location: Minneapolis, MN
