Unlike traditional civil engineering roles, this position focuses on airports—designing and improving runways, taxiways, aprons, and terminals. You’ll collaborate with senior engineers (ranging from 1 to 40 years of experience), gain mentorship, and work on major projects at some of the largest airports in the Mid-Atlantic region. This role offers structured career growth, exposure to fast-paced aviation projects, and a clear path toward PE licensure.
The position involves planning, design, engineering, and construction for airport projects dealing with airfield safety, standards, improvement, and expansion programs. Design work includes airfield planning, layout, and site design, earthwork analyses and design, hydrologic and hydraulic analyses and design, pavement design and maintenance, construction safety and phasing, aircraft layouts and modeling, storm water management design, erosion and sediment control design, utility coordination and design, environmental permitting, and preparation of construction plans, specifications, schedules, design reports, and cost estimates. Construction work includes construction administration and management including shop drawing review, responding to contractor questions, and construction inspection. The Aviation Engineering Group interacts with and is supported by many other in-house disciplines including Planners, Architects, Mechanical, Electrical, Structural, Civil, Environmental, Geotechnical and Special Systems Engineers in typical projects supporting our airport clients.
