We are Olsson. We engineer and design solutions that improve the world around us. As a company, we promise to always be responsive, transparent, and focused on results – for our people, our clients, and our company.

We’re a people-centric firm, so it’s no surprise our greatest asset is our people. The impact this creates is an environment that encourages our people to grow and be creative with their talents. This approach builds a culture that is uniquely Olsson. It allows us to grow our people as we grow our business. This, in turn, creates a lasting impact on the world around us.

Job Description

You will learn to read and interpret engineering drawings, specifications, and codes while developing the ability to identify and avoid potential safety hazards in and around project sites. You will also strengthen your skills in project documentation, client and stakeholder communication, and contractor management.

You will work in a variety of terrain and weather conditions and on projects in various stages of construction. Weekend work, overtime, or overnight travel may be required based on project needs.
