We Make Everything Around Us Better

At PRIME AE, that’s not a slogan, it’s how we work.

Every bridge, building, campus, park, and roadway we design exists to improve how people live, move, learn, and connect. Through architecture, engineering, planning, and consulting, we partner with clients to create thoughtful, practical solutions that leave communities stronger than we found them.

If you want your work to matter, and to be surrounded by smart, collaborative people who care about doing things the right way, you’ll feel at home here.

Who We Are:

PRIME AE Group, Inc. is a nationally ranked, full-service architecture and engineering firm with 24 offices across 10 states and a team of 500+ professionals. For nearly two decades, we’ve partnered with public and private sector clients across transportation, education, healthcare, municipal, federal, commercial, and recreational markets.

We’re growing, strategically and intentionally. That means expanding our capabilities, investing in our people, and building teams that are positioned for long-term success.

The Opportunity:

We are currently seeking a motivated entry-level Highway Designer to join our growing Transportation Business Line in Lexington, KY. This opportunity offers a flexible work schedule with options for hybrid or in-office work, designed to support your work-life balance and professional growth.

What You’ll Do:

As a Highway Designer, you will support the planning and design of transportation infrastructure projects, primarily in Kentucky and surrounding regions, with exposure to a variety of urban and rural highway design initiatives. You’ll work closely with senior engineers, project managers, and technical staff on challenging, high-impact projects that contribute to safer, more efficient roadway systems.

Key Responsibilities:

Assist in the design of highway and roadway projects including interchanges, intersection improvements, roadway widening, traffic management systems, ADA upgrades, and pedestrian safety enhancements.
Support development of horizontal and vertical alignments, typical sections, maintenance of traffic (MOT) plans, drainage layouts, and site grading.
Perform conceptual through final design work using Bentley software tools including OpenRoads Designer (ORD), MicroStation, and InRoads.
Interpret and apply relevant design standards including AASHTO, KYTC, MUTCD, and ADA guidelines.
Participate in field visits and site evaluations to collect data and support design development.
Collaborate with multi-disciplinary teams and contribute to project deliverables including plans, specifications, and cost estimates.

What You’ll Bring:

Bachelor’s Degree in Civil Engineering from an accredited program.
Engineer-In-Training (EIT) certification preferred (or ability to obtain within 12 months).
0–4 years of relevant experience in highway, roadway, or civil infrastructure projects.
Working knowledge of Bentley design tools (MicroStation, InRoads, OpenRoads Designer); training available for strong candidates.
Understanding of transportation engineering fundamentals and ability to apply design criteria in real-world applications.
Strong attention to detail and ability to handle multiple tasks and deadlines.
Excellent communication and technical writing skills.
A collaborative mindset and willingness to learn from experienced professionals.

Why PRIME AE:

We don’t just fill positions; we invest in people.

At PRIME AE, you’ll find a supportive, flexible environment where careers are built intentionally, not accidentally. You’ll work on projects that improve everyday life, alongside colleagues who challenge and respect one another.

What sets us apart:

Career Growth: Flexible career paths across disciplines, from technical expertise to project and people leadership.
People-First Culture: We value trust, integrity, and collaboration, and we mean it.
Meaningful Work: Projects that strengthen communities, infrastructure, and public spaces.
Growth with Purpose: Strategic expansion backed by strong leadership and investment.
National Reach, Local Feel: Big-firm resources with the agility and relationships of local offices.
