Job Description:

Do you want to be a part of a company that has transformed over 100,000 miles of roadway around the world? From local projects to some of the nation’s largest design-build projects, Parsons has done it all!!  

Our Connecticut Civil infrastructure team is a recognized leader in the planning and design of transportation projects in the New England region. Parsons is the lead designer for the I-91/I-691/Route 15 Interchange Improvements project in Meriden, CT – currently one of the largest highway projects in Connecticut.  Parsons’ local team also has task order contracts to provide highway and bridge design services to CTDOT, MassDOT, RIDOT, and RITBA.

We are respected by our clients as an organization with strong technical skills, and solid project delivery and performance. In today’s rapidly evolving alternative project delivery and design-build markets, Parsons offers extraordinary career opportunities based on our existing projects and backlog, financial strength, bonding capacity; and inclusive design, construction engineering, and construction services — all under one roof.

We are looking for a great leader to join our team; one that inspires loyalty and commitment and understands how to design and deliver leading edge Road and Highway projects. If you are the right one for us, you know how to develop comprehensive solutions for todays’ roadway challenges, enjoy both selling and managing projects, and like being in front of the client.

Our Senior Project Managers are also heavily involved in identifying new business and participate in the proposal process, and then stay technically hands on throughout the life of the project. We expect you to identify new opportunities with your current contacts in the region and help grow the business.

When we compete as a group against the competition, we thrive on that burst of creative energy that propels us past obstacles. We’re looking for dynamic managers who want to lead a first-place team.

If that competitive spirit invigorates your management style, we want to hear from you.
