Duties, Responsibilities & Other

The Project Manager 7 is a highly experienced leader within KCI’s Bridge Engineering practice. This role is responsible for managing large, complex bridge projects that require extensive coordination across multidisciplinary design teams, subconsultants, contractors, vendors, and public-sector clients. The PM7 plays a critical role in delivering successful bridge projects—from concept through construction—while ensuring technical excellence, quality, safety, and client satisfaction.

This position requires a licensed Professional Engineer (PE) and a seasoned project manager experienced in leading multi-phase bridge design, rehabilitation, inspection, or major structure projects.

• Develop and communicate the Project Management Plan, defining scope, schedule, budget, quality standards, risk management strategies, and safety protocols specific to bridge and structural engineering work.

• Effectively manage scope and technical requirements for complex bridge projects, ensuring alignment with client expectations and regulatory standards.

• Maintain detailed project schedules, proactively reducing delays by identifying opportunities for concurrent task execution.

• Monitor project budgets and expenditures, implementing cost-control strategies to keep bridge projects within defined financial parameters.

• Uphold rigorous quality standards, ensuring deliverables meet applicable codes (AASHTO, state DOT/Turnpike authorities, etc.).

• Serve as the primary client contact, ensuring consistent communication, timely responses, and strong relationship management.

• Collaborate with internal bridge engineering, inspection, and construction-phase services teams to support project execution and technical alignment.

• Efficiently allocate resources, ensuring teams are staffed appropriately for design, modeling, analysis, and field efforts.

• Identify, assess, and manage project risks—including structural, safety, schedule, and permitting risks—and develop mitigation plans.

Training, Development & Compliance

• Mentor and support junior and mid-level Bridge Project Managers and Engineers, fostering growth within the bridge practice.

• Ensure compliance with all KCI policies, procedures, and engineering standards.
