Civil Roadway Engineer

We’re working with a respected, growing transportation engineering firm in Princeton that is looking to add a Civil Roadway / Highway Engineer to their team.

This is a strong opportunity for an engineer in the early stages of their career who wants real project exposure — not just drafting tasks. You’ll work on meaningful NJDOT and county roadway projects while gaining hands-on design experience and mentorship from senior transportation leaders.

If you’re looking to build technical depth, take ownership, and grow toward project leadership, this is the kind of platform that accelerates careers.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Perform geometric roadway design for local, county, and NJDOT projects

• Assist with grading, drainage, and utility coordination

• Develop plan sets, profiles, cross sections, and construction details

• Support traffic control and staging plans

• Prepare quantities, cost estimates, and technical reports

• Coordinate with bridge, traffic, and environmental teams on multidisciplinary projects

• Assist during construction phase services, including RFIs and site visits

What They’re Looking For

• B.S. in Civil Engineering

• 1–5 years of roadway/highway design experience

• EIT preferred (or on path toward licensure)

• Experience with MicroStation, OpenRoads, or AutoCAD Civil 3D

• Working knowledge of NJDOT standards and design manuals

• Strong communication skills and willingness to learn

Why This Role Stands Out

• Direct exposure to NJDOT projects

• Hybrid flexibility

• Clear mentorship and development path toward PE

• Collaborative team environment — not a siloed role

• Opportunity to grow into task lead and project engineer responsibilities

If you’re in that 1–5 year window and want more than just production work — this is a chance to get into a firm where your development actually matters.
