RH2 Engineering is seeking a motivated and collaborative Project Engineer to join our growing transportation infrastructure and public works team in our Nampa office. This is more than a technical role — it's a unique opportunity to help shape our communities, solve real-world logistics and safety challenges, and grow RH2's Idaho presence alongside a team of genuine, talented, and supportive people. You'll work alongside experienced project managers, industry leaders, and subject matter experts on projects that directly improve communities throughout Idaho and the Pacific Northwest.

At RH2, we believe great engineering comes from strong relationships, practical problem solving, and teams that genuinely enjoy working together. We value curiosity, initiative, humility, and people who feel energized by building meaningful projects with smart people. We deliver transportation, utility, water, wastewater, irrigation, and stormwater projects for public agency clients while maintaining a culture that values flexibility, mentorship, professional growth, and a healthy work-life balance.

If you enjoy solving complex infrastructure challenges, collaborating with smart and motivated people, and seeing your work move from concept through construction (potentially right next door), you'll fit right in here. We work hard, support each other, celebrate wins together, and still make time to savor solitude and life outside the office — whether in the yard with family, high on a mountain peak, or anywhere in between. We'd love to meet you!

With your skills you will:

• Coordinate task execution with RH2 project managers and technical leads
• Contribute to the design and CAD development of roadway, intersection, stormwater, and related transportation and public works infrastructure plans, specifications, and estimates (PS&E)
• Prepare engineering calculations and technical reports
• Coordinate with multidisciplinary teams across RH2's 160+ staff in all nine offices
• Review and ensure compliance with local, state, and federal regulations and standards
• Perform project tasks in a timely and cost-effective manner
• Provide construction support, including reviewing submittals, responding to RFIs, and conducting site visits and observation tasks
• Assist RH2 project managers and technical leads with client engagement and public agency representatives to support project and deliverable development and approvals
• Collaborate with other offices to support and develop RH2 best practices and create consistency and standards to grow the transportation and public works services

What you'll bring:

• Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field
• Professional Engineer (PE) license in Idaho (or ability to obtain through reciprocity)
• 4-12 years of relevant engineering experience, specifically in transportation or public works infrastructure projects
• Proficiency with engineering design software (e.g., AutoCAD Civil 3D, MicroStation, or similar tools)
• Strong understanding of transportation design standards, specifications, and guidelines (e.g. ISPWC, AASHTO, PROWAG, etc.)
• Familiarity with transportation engineering, roadway drainage systems, project delivery, and construction management fundamentals
• Interest in working with state DOTs, counties, or municipal agencies
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
