Senior Structural Design Manager

Location: Burlington, MA, United States; Hybrid

A career in transportation is more than bridges, roads, and rail. As we plan, design, and manage projects that move people and goods from Point A to Point B, we create connections that transform our communities. Every airport, road, bridge, port, or transit project is an opportunity to make communities safer, cleaner, and more resilient. Together, we’re making an impact around the world. 

If you’re looking for a career that moves, join our team of professionals who are passionate about the future of transportation.

When faced with an impasse, do you look to bridge the gap? Our Bridges and Structures Team does too. From local bridge rehabilitations that support our communities to iconic bridge designs that define a region, our opportunities will connect you to your career goals.
