JOB DESCRIPTION
Rail and Transit Practice

Whether moving people or freight, the future of rail and transit infrastructure is shaped by energy costs, urban growth, and increasing environmental priorities. Michael Baker International partners with freight railroads, transit authorities, and state departments of transportation (DOTs) to address these challenges through services focused on state of good repair, capacity, safety, community livability, asset management, and sustainable infrastructure solutions. We create value by first understanding our clients’ needs, then working collaboratively to deliver innovative, practical, and cost‑effective construction and engineering solutions that optimize project outcomes and long‑term performance.

What We’re Looking For:

We are seeking an experienced Resident Engineer to support our complex rail and transit construction management assignments. In this role, you will serve as the primary on‑site representative for assigned projects, providing both technical leadership and hands‑on construction oversight. You will work closely with the Construction managers, contractors, designers, inspectors, and client representatives to ensure that our projects are delivered safely, efficiently, on schedule, and in full compliance with contract requirements. This is a full-time, site‑based opportunity in Virginia, and is an ideal opportunity for an engineer who thrives in a field‑focused, collaborative environment with direct responsibility for rail construction outcomes.

What You’ll Do:

As a Resident Engineer on our team, you will be responsible for managing construction activities from pre-construction through project closeout, including:

Providing construction management services throughout all project phases, including design support, constructability reviews, value engineering, bidding assistance, resident inspection, scheduling, and commissioning
Reviewing major design and construction packages, including cost estimates and construction sequencing, during all design phases
Supporting bidding and procurement activities, including participation in pre-bid meetings
Serving as the primary point of contact between contractors, design consultants, and the client during construction
Managing project documentation, change management processes, CPM schedules, and safety monitoring
Leading construction-related meetings, including pre-construction, pre-installation, weekly progress, and cost control meetings
Tracking and reviewing submittals, RFIs, schedules, and change orders to identify risks, potential claims, or schedule impacts
Providing resident inspection services to monitor construction progress, quality, and compliance with plans and specifications
Conducting substantial and final completion inspections and developing punch lists
Overseeing contractor coordination to support start-up and commissioning activities, including verification of equipment installation, calibration, testing, and system performance
Managing project closeout activities and ensuring all contractual deliverables are completed

What You Need to Succeed:

8-10+ years civil engineering / rail construction experience
A Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management or a related engineering or technical field
A current EIT Certification with intention to obtain PE License in the future
Excellent written and verbal communication skills
Ability to aid in basic construction administrative activities related to safety, quality, cost and schedule of various projects
Evaluation and maintenance of construction documents (drawings, specifications, materials testing reports and supporting documentation)
Ability to visit work sites, dialogue with field staff, gather data and report findings to supervisors.
Experience using Microsoft Office products and knowledge of scheduling software is preferred!
To be successful in this role, you’ll need to be organized, driven, and determined. You will also need to be able to build relationships with a wide variety of people and work in a team environment with the ability to multitask and prioritize competing project obligations.

Compensation:

The approximate compensation range for this position $120,000.00 - $160,000.00 per year. This compensation range is a good faith estimate for the position at the time of posting. Actual compensation is dependent upon factors such as education, qualifications, experience, skillset, and physical work location.

Why Choose Us:

Medical, dental, vision insurance
401k Retirement Plan
Health Savings Account (HSA)
Flexible Spending Account (FSA)
Life, AD&D, short-term, and long-term disability
Professional and personal development
Generous paid time off
Commuter and wellness benefits
