We're trying to fill our last position from when we had a block of people retire some time ago. The state of Alaska has a of full time position that we are advertising for structural EIT's or students whom may be graduating in the Summer or December and have an interest in bridge design. The web link to the online application can be found below:
This position is open to all applicants nationwide and the application period ends 8/16/17. This is a "Flex" position and based on the candidates experience they could come in as an Engineering Assistant (EA) 1, EA2 or EA3. That being said, a new grad will most likely come in at an EA1.
This position would be a great entry into bridge design performing all aspects bridge including design, load ratings, and my favorite portion of the job during the summers, bridge inspection. During the summers there will be a fair amount of travel across the state of Alaska, sometimes to very remotes areas. At these positions we pay overtime for any work outside the standard work week of 37.5 hours (5- 7.5 hour days of work per week). The starting salary for the EA1 is at $55,956, however advancement at these entry level positions does happen fast. A younger engineer here moved from the EA1 position to the EA3 position within 2 years and that base salary currently sits at $73,728. Again, this does not include the overtime pay (1.5 X's) that is common during our busy summer inspection season.
Although monetarily we may have a hard time competing with other companies, the State benefits are pretty good. We work a 37.5 hour work day (5 - 7.5 hour days). Insurance is cheap, have 1 to 1 match for 5% of salary, as a State we have opted out of Social Security and instead that money is dumped into another retirement account of 5% that you have control of...and it's matched 1 to 1.
If you are interested and have a few more questions regarding the position feel free to ask.
