Description

Toole Design Group in Boston, MA is looking to hire an experienced and talented full-time Principal Civil Engineer. Do you have a strong background in civil engineering with final roadway / corridor design experience? Do you desire to be a part of a collaborative design process for sustainable multimodal transportation projects? Are you passionate about creating quality construction documents and safe streets for all? Would you like to work for a firm that is committed to the well-being of its employees? If so, please consider joining our Boston team.

This engineering position focuses on final design construction plan development and corridor modeling. It earns a competitive salary and great benefits, including medical, dental, vision, life insurance, disability, retirement, a health savings account (HSA), and a flexible spending account (FSA). We practice what we preach and ensure that our employees also have access to transportation by providing them with financial incentives to bike, walk, or use transit for a better quality of life.

About Toole Design

Toole Design is the leading engineering, planning, and landscape architecture firm specializing in multimodal transportation in North America. Since our start in 2003 as a single office in Maryland, we have expanded throughout the United States. Our talented team of planners, landscape architects, urban designers, and engineers are committed to delivering quality work that meets the needs of all people. As an Engineering News-Record top 500 design firm, we have also been named a "best firm to work for" and have one of the lowest staff turnover rates in the industry.

Every project our employees deliver directly and positively affects our communities. We are industry-leading experts, and we work hard to encourage a collaborative and team-oriented environment.

A Day in the Life of a Principal Engineer

As a Principal Engineer, you will lead and mentor an interdisciplinary team to deliver multimodal transportation infrastructure in various contexts, from roadway reconstructions to signature trail projects. You will use programs like AutoCAD to fulfill production work on your projects and supervise others doing that production work. You will manage projects and guide your team through design development, design review, bid package development, permitting, and answer questions during construction. You will work with your team to ensure that our projects are consistently of the highest quality.

You will assist Engineering Group Managers and / or the Engineering Director in the Northeast by independently managing and leading company projects in the region. You’ll be at the table with clients and colleagues from various disciplines, delivering projects to construction. You will also participate in business development, project pursuits, and play a key role in the firm’s quality initiatives.

Work Schedule for a Principal Engineer

This full-time position typically works a hybrid schedule of 40 hours a week, with at least two to three days a week in the office. We provide employees with the flexibility and necessary equipment to work from home 2-3 days per week. The Boston office of Toole Design is conveniently located in downtown Boston, blocks from multiple MBTA subway lines.
