Overview

The Structures/Hydraulics Section at the Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans) is hiring for two Civil Engineers. The primary function of Structures/Hydraulics Section is the development and design of project plans, specifications, and estimates for projects that focus on bridges/culvert/retaining walls and much more across the state.

Examples of work may include, but are not limited to:

• Hydraulic Design - Perform hydraulic analysis for bridges and culverts using One- and Two-Dimensional hydraulic modeling software. Simulate temporary and permanent flow conditions under different storm events, including peak discharge rates and evaluate the potential for surface water flooding. Complete field assessments and analyze the risk of scour and erosion around infrastructure and design protective measures.
• Bridge Design - Design and analyze various structural elements of bridges, including superstructures, substructures, foundations, and retaining walls, ensuring compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements.
• CAD Software - Bridge design engineers utilize CAD software extensively throughout the design and construction phases. CAD software allows engineers to create detailed digital models of bridge structures, roadway approaches, and channel work. Engineers can use these digital models to visualize designs in 3D, make precise measurements, and analyze various design options.
• Scoping Analysis - Involves evaluating initial design concepts, collaborating with stakeholders to meet regulatory requirements and standards, and providing cost estimates. Additionally, it entails identifying potential risks and challenges associated with different scoping approaches, such as environmental impacts, permitting requirements, and technical constraints.
• Collaboration - Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, including architects, civil engineers, environmental engineers, and transportation planners, to integrate bridge designs with overall infrastructure projects
• Documents - Prepare technical reports, drawings, specifications, and other documentation related to bridge design, analysis, and construction activities.

This position will be located in Barre City Place in Barre, VT. As a Vermont State Employee, you will have access to flexible work schedules, telework days, excellent healthcare, defined benefit retirement plan, flexible spending accounts, and deferred compensation.

Whether you\'re a recent graduate eager to embark on your engineering journey or an experienced professional seeking a new challenge, we provide the support and resources needed to help you reach your full potential. At VTrans, investing in the growth and development of our team members is a cornerstone of our culture, and we are dedicated to empowering individuals to become leaders in their field. Join us, and let\'s build a brighter future together.

Environmental Factors

Duties are generally performed in both office and field settings for which private means of transportation must be available. Fieldwork may involve exposure to hazardous materials, traffic hazards and, construction sites during all weather conditions and may involve traversing rough terrain and bodies of water. Some work outside of regular working hours, including attendance at public meetings, may be required. Strong differences of opinion may be encountered on a regular basis.
