• Prepare calculation reports, bills of quantities and sketches, carry out self-checks and take part in peer reviews.
• Contribute to conceptual studies and design alternatives (typologies, materials, construction methods) and support coordination with geotechnics, hydraulics, alignment, utilities and architecture.
• Apply international standards (AASHTO, AREMA, British Standards, Australian codes) and a design-for-constructability approach.
• Take part in technical meetings and improve digital efficiency through templates, parameterization and simple automation scripts.

• Fluent English, oral and written.
• Experience with international regulations and standards such as AASHTO, AREMA, Australian codes and British Standards.
• Previous experience in North America, Australia or New Zealand is considered favourably.

Required skills

• Engineering calculation software for bridges and structures (MIDAS Civil NX preferred, but CSiBridge, SAP2000 and others are well considered).
• Knowledge of AASHTO, AREMA, British Standards and Australian codes.

What we offer

• Work on iconic transportation and infrastructure projects with a multicultural, multidisciplinary team.
• Training, career growth and professional development.
