YOUR IMPACT
CHA’s bridge professionals incorporate collaborative and diverse thinking with practical and cost-effective designs that responsibly improve mobility and safety. We have inspected, designed, managed and overseen the construction of a wide array of grade separated crossings, retaining systems, and conveyance structures throughout the United States. As the average age of our nation’s bridges nears 50 years, successful bridge projects must balance complex analytics, engineering innovation and context sensitivity with economic prudency and long-term feasibility.
The Bridge Engineer conducts the design, development, implementation, and technical analysis on various projects to suit individual client needs. At CHA, our Bridge Engineer works on multiple projects in a timely and cost-effective manner to meet client, contractual, and company requirements.
The Bridge Engineer monitors progress and performance against the project plan and acts immediately to resolve operational problems and minimize delays. Additionally, the Bridge Engineer identifies, develops, and gathers technical resources necessary to complete assignments, monitors progress and performance, and will be responsible for recognizing technical discrepancies in analytical results. The Bridge Engineer completes field assignments when appropriate.
This individual will split their time between our CTDOT Bridge Consultant Liaison Engineer (CLE) Program and our bridge design group. Our CLE Program comprehensively assists in the management of bridge rehabilitation and replacement projects, while functioning as a direct extension of CTDOT.
At CHA, you can build a career and find your passion across our diverse business lines and project teams.
