Senior Roadway Design Engineer

Our client, Magnitvde, is a boutique technical advisory firm specializing in complex, large-scale transportation infrastructure projects across the United States. Magnitvde works alongside developers, contractors, and engineering teams, providing strategic technical expertise and innovative design solutions for major Design-Build (DB) and Public-Private Partnership (P3/DBFOM) transportation projects.

Magnitvde operates with a lean, senior-driven team that values technical excellence, independent thinking, creativity, and collaboration over rigid corporate hierarchies.

The Opportunity

We are currently partnering with Magnitvde to recruit a Senior Roadway Design Engineer to join its technical advisory team.

Working closely with Magnitvde’s Design Leads, you will play a key role in identifying, developing, and evaluating innovative roadway solutions for major U.S. transportation infrastructure projects.

This position combines senior-level engineering judgment with hands-on design capabilities. You will have the opportunity to challenge conventional approaches, independently develop preliminary roadway concepts, and translate technical ideas into practical, constructible, and cost-effective solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• Roadway Concept Development & Optimization: Independently develop conceptual and preliminary roadway designs, including horizontal and vertical alignments, highway corridors, interchange configurations, ramps, and managed lanes.
• Hands-On Geometric Design: Use Bentley OpenRoads Designer or Autodesk Civil 3D to rapidly develop, modify, and compare roadway alternatives, preparing preliminary layouts, profiles, and technical exhibits.
• ATC Development & Value Engineering: Identify and develop Alternative Technical Concepts (ATCs) to optimize construction costs (CAPEX), improve constructability, and mitigate project risks during RFP and procurement phases.
• Technical Review & Compliance: Evaluate preliminary designs against AASHTO guidelines, state DOT standards, and project requirements, considering multidisciplinary interfaces and technical constraints.
• Technical Collaboration: Work closely with Magnitvde’s Design Leads and multidisciplinary engineering teams to develop innovative solutions and support technical decision-making across multiple U.S. infrastructure projects.

Profile & Requirements

• Experience: Minimum 10 years of relevant professional experience in highway and roadway engineering, with substantial hands-on involvement in geometric design, interchange layouts, and preliminary roadway design development.
• Software Proficiency: Demonstrated recent hands-on proficiency in Bentley OpenRoads Designer or Autodesk Civil 3D to independently develop alignments, profiles, and geometric alternatives.
• Technical Expertise: Strong understanding of highway geometric design principles, constructability, and design optimization. Familiarity with AASHTO guidelines and U.S. roadway design standards is highly valued.
• Project Experience: Experience with major Design-Build (DB), Public-Private Partnership (P3), or similar transportation infrastructure projects is strongly preferred.
• Language: Professional fluency in English, both written and spoken, is essential, as the role requires active collaboration with international teams and stakeholders.
• Mindset: Proactive, creative, and technically driven, with the autonomy to develop engineering solutions independently and the ability to collaborate effectively with senior technical teams.

Location & Working Model

The position offers flexibility to work remotely from Spain, combined with regular coordination and collaboration with Magnitvde’s international team.
