Job Description

We are seeking an entry-level civil engineer to join our Civil Infrastructure Design Team. Our projects are diverse and often multi-disciplinary, spanning roadway, utility, stormwater, and broader infrastructure design. Work ranges from smaller-scale intersection or drainage improvements to large, multi-million-dollar upgrades of roadway networks, including local, collector, and arterial systems.

A significant portion of this role involves CDOT local agency projects, multi-use trail systems, and municipal capital improvement projects across the Colorado Front Range. This position is an excellent opportunity for a motivated engineer to develop skills across the full lifecycle of capital improvement projects—from assessment and design to permitting, implementation, and construction.

The ideal candidate will bring a passion for learning, a strong interest in transportation engineering, and a collaborative mindset.

 

Essential Responsibilities

  • Assist with the planning, design, and production of engineering documents for diverse projects, including roadway work, pedestrian underpasses, sidewalks, stormwater management systems, parking lots, and parks/trail design.
  • Contribute to studies, master plans, design reports, cost estimates, permitting efforts, and computer modeling.
  • Prepare detailed engineering drawings and specifications to guide construction processes.
  • Perform engineering calculations, data analysis, and field observations to support project objectives.
  • Develop an understanding of construction practices to ensure plans and specifications align with real-world application.
  • Collaborate in client meetings alongside senior engineers and project teams.
  • Work toward your Professional Engineer (PE) license with mentorship and guidance from experienced professionals.

Required Qualifications

  • Engineer-In-Training (EI) certification or ability to obtain it within six months of hire.
  • 0–4 years of full-time experience in civil engineering.
  • Interest in or experience with transportation-related work, CDOT projects, and related agencies.
  • Basic understanding of or willingness to learn tools like AutoCAD, GIS, HEC-RAS, and SWMM.
  • Team-oriented mindset with excellent communication skills.
  • Proactive problem-solving abilities and a willingness to seek guidance and ask questions.

We provide a collaborative work environment focused on learning and growth, with competitive compensation and a strong benefits package:

  • Salary Range: $65,000–$90,000, dependent on experience.
  • Paid time off and holiday pay.
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance.
  • 401(k) with employer contributions.
