Mid-Level Structures Engineer

Kisinger Campo & Associates, Corp. (KCA) is seeking a Mid-Level Structures (Bridge) Engineer for one of our South Carolina offices located in Columbia, North Myrtle Beach, or North Charleston.

As a Mid-Level Structures Engineer, you will play a key role in the technical development and production of bridge and structural design projects. This position is highly technical and design-focused, providing the opportunity to independently perform a broad range of structural engineering tasks while working under the guidance of senior engineers on more complex design decisions.

You will be responsible for preparing structural analyses, developing bridge and retaining wall designs, producing construction plans, performing quantity calculations, and supporting the preparation of specifications and cost estimates. Working within AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications, SCDOT criteria, and industry best practices, you will apply sound engineering principles to develop practical, efficient, and constructible structural solutions.

The ideal candidate is a strong technical contributor who can independently execute most aspects of bridge design and plan production while recognizing when complex engineering challenges require collaboration with senior technical staff. You will coordinate with roadway, hydraulics, geotechnical, survey, and construction professionals to ensure structural designs are effectively integrated into the overall project.

This role is best suited for an engineer who enjoys structural analysis, detailed design, and solving technical challenges associated with transportation infrastructure. Opportunities to mentor junior staff, contribute to technical discussions, expand design responsibilities, and deepen expertise in bridge engineering will be available as experience and proficiency grow.

Qualifications:

Experience:

• Senior-level: 8-12 years of experience
• Experience working with SCDOT is required
• South Carolina PE License or ability to obtain it within 6 months is required
• Master’s degree in civil engineering with a structural focus is required

Skills:

• Competent knowledge of structural engineering principles, practices, design/build, and the application to project work-related issues
• Knowledge of structural design principles for steel, reinforced concrete, and prestressed concrete for both superstructure and substructure components
• Knowledge of SCDOT design standards, SCDOT plans preparation procedures, and geometric understanding
• Familiarity with practices and procedures for structural detailing
• Ability to work on multiple projects in a dynamic, fast-paced team-oriented environment
• Experience in using structural analysis and design software – Open Bridge Modeler experience is a plus
• Ability to write, speak, and communicate clearly
