Some of the larger projects are located in the states of:

In this role, you will help deliver the design for projects that have a construction value greater than $1 billion, and in turn assist in enhancing the mobility, safety, and reliability for communities who live along and travel through these critical corridors.

This position is remote, and the selected candidate will have flexibility in work location while still supporting virtual collaboration with Parsons teams.

Parsons is one of the premier design-build firms in the country with over 16,000 employees worldwide and nearly $7 Billion in revenue. Most recently, we have been the engineer of record or have assisted on some of the most challenging projects in the country, including:

What You'll Be Doing:

• Prepare detailed 2D engineering drawings for bridge superstructures (deck, girders, crossframes, etc), and substructures (abutments, piers and wingwall/retaining walls)

• Detail standard bridge accessories, including expansion joints, bearings, drainage scuppers, railings, and barriers

• Develop precise reinforcing steel (rebar) layouts, including bar marks, spacing, clearance details, and bending schedules

• Maintain strict adherence to workspace configurations and file structures while also adhering to the CAD detailing requirements of state DOTs or clients (levels, line styles, line weights, and font/dimension styles)

• Compute dimensions, slopes, elevations, and stationing using basic geometry and trigonometry to ensure plan accuracy

• Review completed drawing sheets against the engineer's sketches and calculation packages to eliminate errors before detail check is performed

• Perform quantity calculations

What Required Skills You'll Bring:

• 4 to 10+ years of related work experience

• Proficiency in industry-standard software, specifically Bentley MicroStation (preferred) or Autodesk AutoCAD

• Ability to convert structural engineering designs into detailed, accurate, and buildable construction drawings

• Ability to calculate complex bridge geometries, including curves, variable superelevations, and highly skewed alignments

• Knowledge of reinforcing steel layout rules, concrete cover requirements, bar development lengths, and complex bending schedules

• Ability to perform accurate structural calculations for concrete volumes, weights of steel, and surface areas of coatings

• Familiarity with individual state Department of Transportation (DOT) CAD standards, cell libraries, and delivery protocols

What Desired Skills You'll Bring:

• Strong skills in training and mentoring entry-level CAD technicians and junior bridge detailers

• CAD (Computer-Aided Design) degree

• 3D Modeling & BIM capabilities
