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

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.

Job Description

Olsson is looking for a motivated senior-level structural bridge engineer to join our Bridge team as a Senior Engineer. 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.

Your responsibilities will extend to providing high-level technical design, overseeing quality assurance/control, and managing projects with a keen eye on scope, schedule, and budget. You will not only review contracts and champion efficiency in producing top-notch work but will also curate technical resources, fostering an environment of continuous improvement. There will also be opportunity to provide guidance to less experienced staff, contribute to team building, and engage in client relations.

Primary Responsibilities

  • Provides high-level project design and review of project documents and design quality for complex projects.
  • Serves as a technical specialist, applying advanced engineering concepts and developing approaches to solve for complexities.
  • Performs QA/QC and ensures delivery of completed designs meets quality standards and project objectives.
  • Conducts research in areas of considerable scope and complexity.
  • Advises and directs staff on design approaches to fulfill project requirements.
  • Works collaboratively to promote efficiencies and produce high quality work.
  • Contributes to the development of standards and/or guidelines for engineering activities within the team.
  • Supervises, mentors, and reviews technical assignments of less experienced staff.

We have one current opening and will consider candidates interested in being located out of our Des Moines, IA or Lincoln, NE or Omaha, NE office location.

Qualifications

You are passionate about:

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

You bring to the team:

Required

  • Strong communication skills both written and verbal.
  • Ability to contribute and work well on a team.
  • Bachelor’s degree in civil engineering with a structural emphasis or closely related field. 
  • 8+ years of relevant engineering experience.
  • Must be a registered Professional Engineer (PE).
  • Experience designing prestressed concrete and steel girder bridges.
  • Experience managing project scope, schedule, and budget.
  • Valid driver's license with a good driving history. 

Preferred

  • Experience with AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design.
  • Experience with bridge analysis and design programs (LARSA, LEAP Bridge Expertise, Lpile, SPColumn, or MDX).
  • Experience with Iowa DOT or other state DOT Bridge Projects.
  • Experience with MicroStation design software.
