Where would you step in? 
As a valuable member of our transportation team, you will be primarily responsible for performing an array of tasks for roadway projects in support of State DOTs, Counties, Cities, and other municipalities. You could sit in our either of our Connecticut offices (Middletown or Shelton). We offer a hybrid work environment and flexible Fridays in the summer. 

Our Transportation Team and Projects 
The transportation team focuses on planning, designing, and overseeing the construction of infrastructure projects such as highways, roads, and bridges. We work to ensure that these projects meet safety, efficiency, and environmental standards while accommodating current and future transportation needs. The team collaborates with public and private stakeholders to deliver projects that enhance mobility and connectivity within communities.

What will you be doing? 
You will take the lead in managing and delivering complex highway, roadway, and multimodal transportation design projects. You will oversee the entire project lifecycle, from the initial conceptual design studies through to the preparation of detailed construction documents, ensuring that all designs meet technical, regulatory, and safety standards. Additionally, you will provide day-to-day supervision of a multidisciplinary team, guiding their work and supporting their professional growth through mentorship and technical training. You will also be responsible for maintaining strong client relationships, acting as the primary point of contact to ensure clear and effective communication throughout the project. Your role will include assisting with proposal development, contributing to the scope, schedule, and budget estimates, and working to secure new projects. Moreover, you will be accountable for managing project budgets and timelines, ensuring that projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to the high standards our company is known for. Finally, you will uphold our commitment to quality by implementing rigorous quality control processes to ensure all deliverables meet or exceed client and regulatory expectations.

What do you need? 
To be successful as a Project Manager, you will need a Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering and extensive experience in highway engineering and roadway design, including the preparation of plans, profiles, cross sections, grading, utility and drainage design, engineers’ opinion of probable cost, and construction specifications. A Connecticut P.E. license is required, though the ability to obtain reciprocity will also be considered. Proficiency in MicroStation/Connect and InRoads/OpenRoads is preferred, with experience in AutoCAD and Civil3D being an added advantage. Additionally, you should have prior experience with ConnDOT project design requirements and plan preparation guidelines, with experience in other New England states being a plus.
