Job Description

Company Overview:

10-4 Engineering PLLC is seeking a Co-op or Internship Structural Engineer. 10-4 is a Chicago-based engineering firm recently founded by three licensed structural engineers: Hemal Patel, Gary Powell and Vinod Patel. Hemal, Gary and Vinod have a combined 100 years of experience in bridge inspections and bridge design engineering through delivering large and complex infrastructure projects, such as highway corridors, interchanges, public-transit networks, and river crossings. Many of their projects have been award-winning designs recognized by the clients and the industry. 

 

Our name, 10-4 Engineering, is derived from the widely used term "10-4," which signifies “message received, taking action”. Similarly, we embody the principles of direct communication and decisive action in designing infrastructure. Besides technical competence, we place a high value on these two principles when it comes to successful project execution and delivery. Welcome to a place where every challenge is met with a resounding "10-4". 

 

Role Overview:

Candidates selected for the co-op or internship position will work directly with Hemal, Gary, and Vinod on developing structural calculations and plans for bridges, retaining walls, and culverts. The position will include the opportunity to inspect existing bridges, document their structural condition, analyze their capacity, and assist in developing structural repair or reconstruction plans to extend their service life. In addition, candidates will be actively involved in coordination with other disciplines (roadway, geotechnical, hydraulics, construction, etc.), as well as supporting the development of project technical reports and construction plans.

This is a rare opportunity to gain hands-on experience with a high-potential startup. Both Gary and Vinod, in their 40+ years’ careers, have mentored many aspiring engineers to become excellent structural engineers, project managers, and business leaders. You will be mentored by three highly experienced engineers with the goal of building a strong foundation in structural engineering and project execution.

 

Primary Responsibilities:

  • Assist in bridge, retaining wall, and culvert inspections; collect and analyze data from reports, drawings, and photographs to assess structural condition and load-carrying capacity of existing structures.
  • Prepare portions of Bridge Condition Reports to document existing conditions, bridge repairs, rehabilitation, or reconstruction alternatives and recommendations for proposed bridge scope.
  • Work with highly experienced and licensed structural engineers on the design of highway and railroad bridges, retaining walls, and culverts using Design Manuals and Specifications such as IDOT Bridge Design Manual, Tollway Structure Design Manual, AASHTO, and AREMA bridge design specifications.
  • Perform basic structural analysis and design calculations using structural engineering software.
  • Use MicroStation CAD software to assist with design sketches and construction drawings.
  • Perform quantity calculations and assist in the preparation of cost estimates and construction plans.
  • Gain exposure to coordination with other civil engineering disciplines (roadway, hydraulics, geotech) on structural layouts and details.

 

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Must be pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering with an emphasis in structural engineering (juniors, seniors and graduate students preferred).
  • Familiarity with structural engineering software is a plus.
  • Proficient with Microsoft Office 365 (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint).
  • Familiarity with MicroStation and/or AutoCAD is a plus.
  • Strong interpersonal, communication, organization and time-management skills is a plus.
  • An attitude and commitment to being an active, engaged member of this small startup firm.

 

Benefits:

  • Competitive hourly pay.
  • Hands-on mentorship from licensed structural engineers.
  • Exposure to real-world bridge design, inspections, and construction projects.
  • Hybrid/flexible schedule.

 

10-4 Engineering, PLLC is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
