A Day in the Life of a Senior Civil Engineer

You are at the forefront of brainstorming creative solutions for challenging projects. You will lead, support, and mentor an interdisciplinary team to deliver multimodal transportation infrastructure projects in a wide range of contexts from roadway reconstructions and streetscapes in highly urban settings to signature trail projects in suburban and rural areas that highlight and enhance the natural environment. You use programs such as AutoCAD or MicroStation in order to fulfill production work on your projects. You will share your knowledge with staff and clients, to develop feasibility studies, concept plans, and construction documents, as well as mentor your colleagues to ensure that our projects are consistently of the highest quality. 

The duties of this position require the ability to coordinate predictable but highly complex processes to ensure the efficient progression of each project. Many of the projects under this position's review are high profile and of interest to the public, stakeholders, and elected officials.

Toole Design provides a comprehensive training program to help you hone your Project Management skills while working for a company that is committed to supporting your career growth and development.

You will develop business relationships with clients and participate in business development pursuits in your home region as well as across our North American offices.
