Civil Engineering (BSCE) degree and are authorized
to work in the U.S. on a permanent basis, we can use
your expertise.
The following are job profiles
describing typical work performed at IDOT:
Bureau of Construction, All District
Offices
Field highway construction work inspection, surveying
and materials testing to ensure contractor's
satisfactory execution of the design and specifications.
During the winter, new engineers are encouraged to work
in other bureaus within the district, most often in
highway design and planning. By doing so, they not only
gain a more integrated perspective of the overall
operations, but also are able to pursue their interests
through the broad range of engineering applications.
Bureau of Bridges and Structures,
Springfield
Participation in the design of major bridge and traffic
structures while considering significant factors of
safety cost, maintenance and appearance.
Bureau of Design and Environment,
Springfield
Review of roadway plans developed in the districts to
ensure adherence to state specifications and also to
include any special provisions or bridge plans needed to
complete the project under consideration. Involves some
field work.
Bureau of Materials and Physical
