5 days ago Requisition ID: 1144
Salary Range: $121,680.00 To $138,320.00 Annually
Help Shape the Future of Transportation in Western New York.
At C&S Companies, you'll have the opportunity to lead meaningful transportation projects across Western New York. Whether it's improving a local roadway, delivering major NYSDOT infrastructure improvements, or mentoring the next generation of engineers, your work will leave a lasting impact throughout the communities where you live and work.
Why This Opportunity Is Different
Our transportation team continues to grow because clients trust us to deliver.
Today, C&S is one of the largest transportation consulting firms in Western New York, serving nearly every county and major municipality in the region. We're leading projects for NYSDOT, the New York State Thruway Authority, GBNRTC, and local municipalities while expanding our presence throughout New York State.
Growth creates opportunity.
Rather than stepping into a role where you're simply maintaining projects, you'll help influence where our transportation practice goes next. Your ideas, technical expertise, and leadership will directly shape projects, mentor younger engineers, strengthen client relationships, and help build the future of our team.
If you're looking for a place where your experience will have visibility, your voice will be heard, and your career can continue to grow, we'd love to talk.

Managing highway and transportation projects from planning through construction support
Leading roadway design using NYSDOT standards and Federal Aid requirements
Preparing design reports, construction plans, specifications, and bid documents
Providing technical leadership and quality oversight throughout project delivery
Building strong, long-term relationships with clients and agency partners
Mentoring engineers and helping develop the next generation of transportation professionals
Collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to deliver innovative, practical infrastructure solutions
What Success Looks Like
In this role, you'll be successful if you enjoy:
Taking ownership of complex transportation projects
Building trusted client relationships
Coaching and developing younger engineers
Working collaboratively while having the autonomy to make decisions
Seeing your work improve the communities where people live, work, and travel
What You'll Bring
Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering or related discipline

What You'll Find at C&S
Engineering careers are built on more than projects.
They're built on having opportunities to learn, leaders who invest in your development, and teammates who genuinely enjoy working together.
You will also have flexibility to meet your life demands outside of work. C&S supports 60/40 remote work while also providing training and conference attendance to support your career growth. At C&S, we've intentionally built a culture that combines the resources of a national engineering firm with the accessibility and collaboration of a smaller organization.
Decisions happen quickly. Leaders are approachable. Your ideas matter.
