We are hiring! AtkinsRéalis seeks an energetic and highly motivated self-starter to join our Kansas City, KS office team as a Senior Roads and Highways Project Manager/Roadway Engineer working on various Highway and Roadway projects. We are expanding into new regional markets that will support major hub offices located in Austin, TX in the CENTRAL Region. Expansion into these sub-regional markets is supported by a strong regional and national work-share program across all Department of Transportation, Community Infrastructure and Intermodal and Federal Clients.  

The Central Region currently consists of the following hub offices:

• Austin, TX
• Houston, TX
• Dallas, TX
• Oklahoma City, OK

The Central Region also includes a support office in the following location:

• Tyler, TX

Under direction of the CENTRAL regional roads and highway lead, this is an opportunity to lead the growth and development of a sub-regional design group. The intent is to build a team in a new market without the overriding pressure to win work within that market to sustain the growth of the new team. Substantial growth in the current Austin, Dallas, Houston, TX office facilitates such growth in untapped AtkinsRéalis markets.

The Senior Roadway Engineer/Project Manager will lead a local team supporting large projects in other markets. It will be encouraged, but not required, to maintain existing relationships in the market and facilitate growth organically. The intent of the strategic growth away from hub offices is to facilitate growth without the pressures of winning work. Once a group is established in the sub regional markets, we can look to other opportunities for growth within the noted market.

This position will also be responsible for hiring a support group of two to 5 individuals to build a full functional design team. An ideal team will include a Senior Engineer, Junior Engineer and Senior Designer to provide a full design team for appropriate projects available to support. When assigned to a project, this full design team will deliver and produce remotely for a project in another location under a project manager in the project and Client location.

This position provides the expertise of a seasoned engineer to all conventional aspects of functional area and applies advanced concepts and techniques to unconventional engineering problems. May function as a technical specialist, trainer for less experienced engineers. Upholds engineering ethics and standards of conduct. This role is expected to develop into a Deputy PM and PM role.
