The Role

Manage delivery of transportation structure projects, with a strong interface between:

    • Bridges
    • Transit infrastructure
    • Heavy structural components
  • Ability to manage:
    • Budget

Travel: ~40-50%

What Sets Strong Candidates Apart
  • Experience working alongside self-perform crews or complex structure trades
