Do you desire to be a part of a collaborative design process for safe streets and sustainable multimodal transportation projects? Would you like to work for a firm that is committed to the well-being of its employees? If so, please consider joining our Boston team.

This engineering position with a focus on final design construction plan development and corridor modeling earns a competitive salary with a possible annual bonus, and great benefits, including medical, dental, vision, life insurance, disability, retirement, a health savings account (HSA), and a flexible spending account (FSA). All staff receive 8 holidays and earn at least 16 days of PTO over the course of the year. We practice what we preach and ensure that our employees also have access to transportation by providing them with financial incentives to bike, walk, or use transit for a better quality of life.

A Day in the Life of a Principal Engineer

As a Principal Engineer, you will lead and mentor an interdisciplinary team to deliver multimodal transportation infrastructure in a wide range of contexts from roadway reconstructions and streetscapes in highly urban settings to signature trail projects in suburban and rural areas that highlight and enhance the natural environment. You use programs like AutoCAD in order to fulfill production work on your projects as needed and / or supervise others doing that production work. You will manage projects and guide your team through design development, design review, bid package development, permitting, and answering questions during construction. You will work with your team to ensure that our projects are consistently of the highest quality.

You'll be at the table with clients and colleagues from a variety of disciplines, delivering projects to construction. You will play a key role in implementing the firm's quality initiatives and in supporting business development and project pursuits. In an industry that is constantly changing, you'll be at the forefront of delivering creative solutions to challenging projects.

We are targeting a salary range of $175,000-$200,000 for this position.

Qualifications of a Principal Civil Engineer :

  • A broad knowledge base in civil engineering, with specific experience in roadway design, drainage design, geometric design, 3D modeling and design of accessible public spaces
  • Proficiency in Computer Automated Design (AutoCAD or MicroStation) and design software (Civil 3D, GEOPAK or InRoads)
  • Experience analyzing and designing stormwater infrastructure, including the use of stormwater design software such as HydroCAD or HydroFlow
  • Experience developing construction documents and providing construction management services
  • Experience in preparing transportation and local agency permit documents
  • General experience leading multidisciplinary teams, coordinating utility and right-of-way impacts, street lighting, traffic signal, and landscape / hardscape layout
  • Interest in multimodal and active transportation design
  • You'll be great here if :

  • You have experience in Civil – Roadway – Highway design and are interested in moving into Complete Streets Design
  • You are passionate about sustainability and the opportunity to work on challenging multimodal projects that make communities more livable
  • You have strong leadership skills and enjoy mentoring junior staff

We also provide employees with the flexibility and necessary equipment to work from home up to two days per week. Our Boston office is conveniently located in Boston's Downtown Crossing, directly adjacent to the iconic Boston Common, within a short walk to all of the major rapid transit lines and close to both North Station and South Station commuter rail lines.
