Bridge Engineer - Roadway - Olsson

We are Olsson, a team-based, purpose-driven engineering and design firm. Our solutions improve communities and our people make it possible.

Our most meaningful asset is our people, and we are dedicated to providing an environment where they can continue to learn, grow, and thrive. Our entrepreneurial spirit is what has allowed us — and will continue to allow us — to grow. The result? Inspired people, amazing designs, and projects with purpose.

Olsson is looking for a motivated mid-to-senior level structural engineer to join our bridge and roadway team in either Fayetteville or Little Rock, AR. Our bridge group works on a wide range of projects including bridge and retaining walls, dams, storm and traffic structures, inspections, rehabilitations, load ratings, and assisting with construction engineering services. We facilitate designs on transportation projects that include grade separations, interchanges, and stream crossings for public and private clients throughout the Midwest. You will be able to collaborate with roadway, traffic, geotechnical, and stormwater engineers on projects that make a positive impact in our community while simultaneously offering you the ability to grow and pick up a wide array of skills.

You'll have opportunities to get involved with project management, marketing, proposals, client development, and mentoring technical staff. You'll manage projects from concept though construction making decisions on engineering problems and select the appropriate structural solutions that are cost-effective and constructible while working with a multi-disciplined team of engineers and technicians. Occasional travel for site visits or inspection work may occur. 

We have one current opening and will consider candidates interested in being located out of our Fayetteville or Little Rock, AR office locations.

• Working collaboratively with others
• Having ownership in the work you do
• Using your talents to positively affect communities

You bring to the team:

• Strong communication skills
