Senior Bridge & Structural Project Manager – Civil Engineering (Onsite | Herndon, VA)

A nationally recognized transportation and civil engineering firm is expanding its Herndon, Virginia office and is seeking a Senior Bridge & Structural Project Manager to lead high-impact infrastructure projects at the local, state, and federal level.

This is a career-defining opportunity for an experienced Professional Engineer (PE) who thrives in leadership, enjoys owning projects end-to-end, and wants to play a key role in delivering complex bridge and transportation structures that shape communities.

This is a full-time, onsite role with long-term stability, leadership growth, and exposure to marquee public-sector clients.

What You’ll Be Doing

As a Senior Bridge & Structural Project Manager, you’ll be responsible for total project ownership, from early planning through final design and construction support.

Key responsibilities include:

• Leading bridge and structural design projects from concept through construction
  
• Managing scope, schedule, budget, risk, and quality assurance
  
• Coordinating and guiding multidisciplinary engineering teams and subconsultants
  
• Developing construction plans, technical drawings, and structural submittal documents
  
• Providing hands-on structural engineering expertise throughout the project lifecycle
  
• Creating and maintaining project schedules, management plans, and quality plans
  
• Monitoring financial performance, invoices, and project reporting
  
• Communicating project status clearly to internal teams, clients, and stakeholders
  
• Building strong client relationships and understanding agency requirements
  
• Mentoring engineers through coaching, feedback, and performance development
  
• Supporting proposal development, Go/No-Go decisions, interviews, and marketing efforts
  

Requirements

To be considered, candidates must meet all of the following:

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering with a Structural Engineering focus
  
• Degree must be from an ABET-accredited engineering program
  
• 10+ years of bridge and structural design experience
  
• Active Professional Engineer (PE) license in the state of Virginia
  
• Proven experience managing bridge or transportation structure projects
  
• Strong communication and presentation skills
  
• Ability to work full-time onsite in Herndon, VA (local or relocation-ready)
  

(Nice to Have)

• Experience working with VDOT and Virginia localities or agencies
  
• Familiarity with Design-Bid-Build, Design-Build, and P3 delivery methods
  
• Experience leading multidisciplinary engineering teams
  
• Background in large or multi-office engineering firms
  
• Exposure to public-sector transportation and infrastructure projects
  

Tools & Technical Environment

• Project scheduling and management tools (Microsoft Project, Primavera P6, or similar)
  
• Structural design and drafting platforms (AutoCAD, MicroStation, or similar)
  
• Document management systems (ProjectWise, SharePoint, or similar)
  

Work Environment

• Primarily office-based (approximately 95%)
  
• Occasional field visits to active project sites
  
• Field conditions may include varying weather and light lifting (up to 25 lbs)
  

Benefits

• Medical Benefits
  
• Paid Time Off
  
• 401(k)
  

Why This Role Stands Out

• High-visibility leadership position on critical infrastructure projects
  
• Long-term stability with a well-established engineering organization
  
• Exposure to state and federal transportation clients
  
• Opportunity to mentor teams and influence project outcomes
  
• Clear path for continued responsibility and professional growth
