Job Summary

TYLin is seeking a Rail Bridge Engineering Leader to join our growing Rail + Transit team.

We are looking for an accomplished bridge engineer with deep technical expertise in rail structures, a thorough understanding of industry standards, and a proven track record of leading multidisciplinary teams. This leadership position offers the opportunity to mentor engineers, manage strategic client relationships, and play a key role in the continued growth of our rail infrastructure practice.

Responsibilities

What You'll Do :

As a senior leader within our Rail + Transit Structures team, you will play a critical role in driving the successful delivery of complex railway bridge projects. With a focus on technical excellence, strategic project oversight, and client partnership, you'll lead multidisciplinary teams and mentor the next generation of bridge engineers while guiding the growth of our rail infrastructure practice.

  • Provide technical leadership and strategic direction for the design and analysis of rail bridges, including steel, concrete, and long-span structures.
  • Serve as the technical authority on seismic analysis, fatigue assessment, and load rating evaluations, ensuring full compliance with AREMA, AASHTO, and agency-specific standards.
  • Lead and manage major rail bridge projects from concept through construction, including schedule, budget, quality control, and risk management.
  • Cultivate and maintain strong client relationships with DOTs, Class I and short-line railroads, and public transportation agencies.
  • Oversee and review engineering reports, design packages, and technical documentation prepared by the team, ensuring quality assurance in alignment with TYLin's standards.
  • Mentor and develop junior and mid-level engineers, fostering a collaborative, learning-oriented team culture.
  • Actively contribute to business development efforts, including proposal development, client interviews, and identifying new project opportunities.
  • Collaborate with internal teams across disciplines—including track, geotechnical, and construction management—to deliver integrated and innovative infrastructure solutions.
  • Serve as a thought leader in the rail bridge sector, representing TYLin at industry events, conferences, and technical committees.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's Degree in Civil or Structural Engineering required; Master's Degree preferred.
  • Professional Engineer (PE) license in Illinois (or ability to obtain via reciprocity); Structural Engineer (SE) license is highly desirable.
  • 15+ years of progressive experience in bridge engineering, with a strong focus on railroad and transit structures.
  • Expertise in structural analysis tools such as SAP2000, CSI Bridge, MIDAS, and LARSA.
  • Deep knowledge of AREMA and railroad-specific design standards and procedures.
  • Proven success managing large-scale rail infrastructure projects and interfacing with Class I Railroads or similar public agencies.
  • Demonstrated leadership in technical mentorship, project delivery, and client engagement.
  • Strong understanding of funding mechanisms, permitting processes, and regulatory compliance for public infrastructure.
  • Experience in strategic planning, proposal writing, and business development within a consulting environment.
  • Commitment to innovation, sustainability, and delivering technically sound, resilient bridge solutions.
  • Excellent interpersonal, organizational, and communication skills.
  • Join Us

    If you're an accomplished bridge engineer ready to take on a leadership role in shaping the future of rail transportation, we invite you to join TYLin and help deliver infrastructure that moves people and communities forward.
