Description

The Opportunity Do you love the smell of jet fuel in the morning? Are you passionate about shaping the future of air travel? RS&H is expanding with a new office in Las Vegas, and we’re seeking an experienced Airfield Engineer to lead civil technical design for airport projects including contributing to a brand-new commercial airport, the first of its kind in the U.S. since Denver International Airport nearly 30 years ago. This is a rare opportunity to make history while enjoying the autonomy to influence local operations, build your own team, and help shape the culture of a new office, aligned with RS&H’s core values of Integrity, Accountability, Curiosity, and Teamwork. Why This Role Stands Out Historic Scale: Work on a multi-billion-dollar, nationally visible aviation project. Innovation at the Forefront: Influence cutting-edge airfield design and planning solutions. Leadership Opportunity: Serve as a technical expert and grow into a pivotal market leader for RS&H in the West.

Design complete projects, systems, components, and processes. Perform quality control reviews and ensure key milestones are met. Conduct field reviews and observations on active construction sites. Provide technical guidance, assign tasks to junior staff, and help build and mentor a growing team. Manage discipline-specific tasks or small, multidisciplinary project teams to ensure contractual compliance and project success. To be successful in this role, you must: Hold an engineering degree from an ABET-accredited program with 10+ years of relevant experience, or an equivalent combination of education and experience. Be a Professional Engineer (PE) in good standing. Have strong knowledge of applicable federal, state, and local codes, criteria, regulations, and ordinances. Be proficient in production software and construction document development. Demonstrate the ability to resolve challenging issues professionally and effectively. Have experience working on major projects or multiple mid-sized projects, reviewing technical work of others, and contributing to new processes, services, or standards. Possess excellent oral and written communication skills and the ability to build strong relationships with clients, contractors, team members, and stakeholders.
