In this position you will perform structural engineering analysis and calculations for the development of bridge load ratings, bridge management tasks, and overload permit assessment. You will also complete bridge safety inspections, including routine, non-redundant steel tension member (NSTM), low water, and in-depth inspections.

The Bridge Section is a production-oriented office comprised of hands-on engineers who put safety first and are recognized nationally as experts in our field. The office culture is supportive and encouraging, with opportunities for growth. The office has 25 staff members – small enough to be personal, but large enough to have a broad knowledge base in all subdisciplines of bridge engineering. The position offers the satisfaction of knowing you’ve made significant accomplishments to build and preserve Alaska’s infrastructure.
