Bridge Engineer Job Description

Bridge Engineer Job Overview

The job of a bridge engineer is to design and supervise the construction of bridges, which are structures that connect two points over a gap. They must also be able to inspect, test, maintain and repair bridges once they are built. In addition, bridge engineers may be called upon to provide advice on improving existing bridges or designing new ones.

Responsibilities of a Bridge Engineer

Bridge engineers have a wide range of responsibilities, but they all share the same goal: to keep bridges safe. Bridge engineers design new bridges and inspect existing ones, ensuring that they’re structurally sound. They also perform maintenance work on bridges and roads. Some bridge engineers specialise in particular structures, such as suspension bridges or cable-stayed bridges.

Bridge Engineer Qualifications

Employers’ requirements for a career as a bridge engineer vary and may change over time. In general, these are the minimum qualifications you can expect to need:

• At least an associate’s degree. Some employers may require only a two-year degree to work as an entry-level bridge engineer. Others may require four years of post-secondary education or a bachelor’s degree.
• Experience with computer modelling software. Bridge engineers use computer modelling software to create virtual designs before building actual bridges. This experience is beneficial if you want to work in civil engineering.
• Knowledge of different types of bridges, including suspension bridges and truss bridges. You must also know how each type of bridge is constructed and how each type of bridge is designed to function optimally.
