At Jacobs, we're challenging today to reinvent tomorrow by solving the world's most critical problems for thriving cities, resilient environments, mission-critical outcomes, operational advancement, scientific discovery and cutting-edge manufacturing, turning abstract ideas into realities that transform the world for good.
Your impact
If you are ready to bridge the gap between our world and our people, join Jacobs. Let's build for a brighter future together. Jacobs is much more than just a traditional engineering company. As a Structural Engineer/Inspection Team Leader and vital member of our New England team, as a bridge engineer you'll have the opportunity to work on a variety of bridge and tunnel inspection contracts with several clients in the New England region, including MassDOT, RIDOT, CTDOT and VTrans. You'll be expected to perform inspections per NBIS and NTIS standards serving as a Team Leader. When working on bridge assignments, the bridge types will vary from small simple span structures to multi-span viaducts and highway bridges. We'll ask you to assist in the scheduling of traffic closures, coordination of bridge inspection equipment rentals, and coordination with DOT personnel for scheduling and access to bridge structures. Also, you'll also be expected to assist with the completion and checking of bridge inspection reports and timely submission and reporting to respective DOTs.
The New England region also offers the opportunity for bridge inspection team leaders to assist with bridge design and rehabilitation projects - performing design calculations, estimates, and specifications - as well as assist with bridge rating calculations and reports. Tunnel inspection assignments consist primarily of Routine and Special Member Inspections in MassDOT's complex tunnels. You'll lead inspection teams in the field and be responsible for identifying and reporting action items to MassDOT. We'll ask you to assist in scheduling the inspection work including coordinating with the DOT for roadway closures and access, and scheduling equipment rentals. You'll also assist inspection team members in preparation of tunnel inspection reports and element level quantities. The New England region also offers the opportunity for tunnel inspectors to work on tunnel repair / rehabilitation contracts - performing the field work to identify defects, generate repair recommendations, and prepare design documents for the recommended work.
At Jacobs, we're partnering across the globe to create the best project outcomes by maximizing the design, digital technology, and support capabilities of our Global Integrated Delivery (GID) teammates. By joining Jacobs, you'll commit to supporting and engaging with these teams, as we work to build a company like no other.
