• Produce roadway plans, specifications, engineering reports, technical memos, quantity calculations and construction documents.
• Review engineering data, identify design limits, compare options, and build workable answers that weigh safety, performance, buildability and cost.
• Work with traffic, drainage, structures, environmental, survey and construction staff to deliver integrated designs.
• Apply design criteria, agency standards, quality procedures and sound engineering practice at every stage.
