You are already an expert in your field. You are a P.E. who has 10 years or more of hands-on experience as a Highway Resident Engineer and/or Construction Manager with a broad understanding of highway/roadway construction and site safety.
This role asks you to bring this same set of skills and knowledge to a different challenge: determining why an incident occurred. You will work alongside nationally respected experts on casework that is consequential to industry and society, and you will keep learning for the rest of your career.
Prior forensic experience is not required. We hire for deep industry knowledge. Robson Forensic will train you to apply your expertise in a forensic setting, based on our experience of nearly 40 years in providing expert witness services.
What you will do: - Investigate highway construction incidents.
- Analyze highway construction site procedures, applying your experience and comprehensive knowledge of standards and practices.
- Write clear, scientifically sound reports.
- Provide expert testimony.
You will delve into the "why" behind incidents and disputes, critically assessing decision-making, operational procedures, and the standards of care.
What we require: - Licensure: Active Professional Engineer (P.E.) license.
- Education: B.S. in Civil Engineering
- Experience: 10+ years of hands-on experience (including DOT experience) in highway construction (excavation, paving, drainage, utilities, bridges and other structures, etc.), traffic control and safety in highway work zones, construction management, construction inspection, construction safety, means & methods, contracts, scheduling, estimating, subcontractor management, quality control, QC/QA testing, and incident and claims investigations.
- Knowledge: Thorough working knowledge of highway construction site procedures.
- Skills: Excellent technical, analytical, writing, and communication skills.
- Aptitude: Strong ability to convey complex technical findings into a clear and objective deliverable for non-technical audiences.
- Other: A clean background screen, a driver's license, and the ability to drive.
Experience that helps, though not required: - Highway/roadway design and/or maintenance
- Materials testing
- Residential or commercial land development
- Stormwater systems design
- Parking lot design/construction
- Vertical construction.
Work Style: Approximately 20% of the role is travel for training, inspections, and providing sworn testimony on your investigative findings at a deposition or trial. The remainder is investigation, analysis, and report writing, working independently and as part of a collaborative team. Our experts offer and receive support/mentoring in a firm with over 100 scientists, engineers, and other professionals and manage a portfolio of 50-70 projects/clients.
Locations : Miami Lakes/Palm Beach Gardens, FL, Atlanta, GA, & Lancaster, PA (hybrid)
