Entry Level Transportation Engineer
Description
The Mannik & Smith Group (MSG) is a people-focused, award-winning, full-service consulting firm offering civil and geotechnical engineering, environmental consulting, planning, landscape architecture, agriculture, surveying, and construction support. Our talented team delivers integrated planning, design, engineering, and construction solutions across Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, West Virginia, and Alabama.
Drive the Future of Transportation with MSG
MGS is growing — and we're looking for an Entry-Level Transportation Engineer to join our Detroit team (also open to Monroe, MI) and help shape it. If you're early in your career and looking for a place where you'll actually get your hands on real roadway and aviation projects (not just watch from the sidelines), this is it. You'll work alongside experienced engineers who are invested in helping you build a career, not just fill a seat.
Grow Your Career with Blueprint
This role includes a guaranteed seat in Blueprint, our new early career leadership program for engineers looking to grow beyond the typical entry-level experience. Over six months, participants take part in a hands-on curriculum covering professional development, business acumen, and project delivery — including case studies, simulations, and role-play exercises. The program covers topics like project economics, communication, and leadership fundamentals, and concludes with an in-person capstone event where participants present their work and outline goals for the year ahead.
What You'll Do
- Work alongside senior engineers and project managers preparing transportation design plans for state, municipal, commercial, industrial, and residential projects — all within a 3D digital environment
- Sharpen your technical skills by performing and reviewing design calculations for accuracy and compliance
- Get hands-on with design packages, including roadway geometry, drainage, grading, and plan preparation
- Contribute to aviation projects, including runway and airfield design and analysis — a specialty not every engineer gets exposure to this early
What You Bring
- Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering or a related field
- PREFERRED: Successful completion of the NCEES Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Exam
- Experience working with OpenRoads Designer
- Familiarity with ODOT Design Standards
- A strong attention to detail, a problem-solving mindset, and genuine eagerness to grow your technical and project management skills
