Job Description

Bridge Practice Michael Baker International has addressed bridge design, construction and preservation challenges with innovative and sustainable solutions. Exemplifying its depth and versatility in the bridge space, Michael Baker International, ranked Number six by Engineering News-Record in its annual ranking of Bridge Design Firms in the United States, has partnered with clients on a full spectrum of bridge types-from conventional grade separations to major, complex river crossings, including trusses, arches, box girders and cable-stayed bridges. What We're Looking For: The Bridge Project Manager is responsible for the pursuit and delivery of transportation design projects involving preliminary engineering and PS&E for bridge and structural infrastructure. This role includes structural design, technical oversight, staff development, contract management, proposal development, project performance, and client management for regional and statewide clients, including ODOT and the Ohio Turnpike. The Bridge Project Manager will openly share technical knowledge and mentor engineers while supervising the preparation of studies, reports, quantities, cost estimates, and construction drawings for bridge and transportation projects. Ideal candidates bring extensive experience with new, widening, retrofit, and replacement bridge projects, as well as retaining wall design, utilizing ODOT standards, Ohio Turnpike requirements, and AASHTO LRFD. This is a structural design-focused role, and candidates must have demonstrated expertise in bridge engineering.

What You'll Do:

• Review project proposals and plans to determine scope, schedule, budget, staffing, and delivery approach • Provide technical leadership and guidance to less experienced engineers • Prepare scopes of work and cost estimates for proposals • Manage staff utilization by scheduling, monitoring, and adjusting assignments • Present project information in both written and oral formats • Perform QA/QC for bridge design projects of varying complexity • Complete technical analyses, calculations, and design tasks as needed • Coordinate with multidisciplinary teams across transportation practices • Occasional travel may be required • Perform other duties as assigned

What You Need to Succeed:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, Engineering Management, or related discipline • Ohio Professional Engineer (PE) license required • 10+ years of experience in bridge design and transportation engineering, including at least 2 years managing bridge-related projects or tasks • Strong knowledge of ODOT standards, procedures, and delivery practices • Proficiency with bridge analysis and design software • Experience using MicroStation and Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) • Ability to lead and collaborate with multi-disciplined teams • Experience with proposal development, business development support, and client engagement preferred

Compensation: The approximate compensation range for this position is $101,502 to $146,561 per year. This compensation range is a good faith estimate for the position at the time of posting. Actual compensation is dependent upon factors such as education, qualifications, experience, skillset, and physical work location. Why Choose Us:

• Medical, dental, vision insurance • 401k Retirement Plan • Health Savings Account (HSA) • Flexible Spending Account (FSA) • Life, AD&D, short-term, and long-term disability • Professional and personal development • Generous paid time off • Commuter and wellness benefits
