Bridge Design Engineer

If you are ready to bridge the gap between our world and our people, join Jacobs. Let’s build for a brighter future together. Jacobs is much more than just a traditional engineering company.

Jacobs is looking for a talented Bridge Design Engineer to join us as a vital member within our Northwest Bridge Team. Located in the Bellevue or Spokane, Washington areas, you’ll have the opportunity to work on a wide variety of transportation projects in both the Northwest and nationwide. Our transportation projects include highway and guideway (lightrail) projects; from projects in rural areas and National Parks, to urban projects through the heart of our cities; traditional design-bid-build delivery as well as alternative delivery methods such as Design-Build (DB), Construction Manager/General Contractor (CM/GC), and Public-Private-Partnership (P3) projects.

You’ll use your experience to work within multi-disciplinary teams, providing technical expertise in completing transportation structure design and construction projects from conceptual and preliminary design to final design and construction. You’ll see opportunities to work and grow in all aspects of structural design/construction including development of structural calculations/designs, drawings, specifications, field inspections, cost estimates and reports. Your experience will also lend well to training, directing, and mentoring junior engineers and CAD staff. You’ll also coordinate design activities and meetings between Jacobs staff and subcontractors and assist in business development activities and proposal efforts.
