Lead Construction Services Professional - Transportation | Highway & Bridge

Bring your expertise of professional construction services to the roadway, highway, and bridge projects that keep communities connected.

Join TKDA as a Lead Construction Services Professional. In this role, you will lead the field engineering, construction observation, inspection, and contract administration services that carry roadway, highway, and bridge projects from plans to completion. This opportunity is designed for an experienced construction professional who combines strong field judgment with a commitment to developing people and a drive to build a practice.

As a member of our multidisciplinary team, you will collaborate with highway design, traffic, bridge, water resources, and municipal professionals. Projects range from local roadway and street reconstruction to highway corridor improvements, interchanges, and bridge construction and rehabilitation. Your practical field perspective will elevate our project delivery abilities by helping teams to anticipate construction challenges, resolve issues, and keep communication clear among designers, contractors, public agencies, and other stakeholders.

In this lead role, you will serve as a subject matter expert and provide guidance and mentorship to construction engineers, inspectors, and field professionals, and you will collaborate with technical group managers and project managers to coordinate project assignments, schedules, and resources across concurrent projects. You will set clear expectations for safe, consistent field practices and thorough documentation. You will also stay connected to the work through site visits, project reviews, and hands-on support during critical stages of construction.

Beyond day-to-day delivery, you will help shape and grow TKDA’s construction services practice. You will define field-service scopes, staffing plans, fees, and delivery approaches, and you will standardize the tools, procedures, and technologies that keep service consistent across projects. You will also partner with project managers and technical group managers / discipline leaders on proposals, pursuits, and client presentations. Together, you will expand our transportation construction capabilities and strengthen our reputation with state, county, and municipal agency clients.
