Entry Level Transportation Engineer

The Mannik & Smith Group (MSG) is a people-focused, award-winning, full-service consulting firm offering civil and geotechnical engineering, environmental consulting, planning, landscape architecture, agriculture, surveying, and construction support. Our talented team of 650+ professionals delivers integrated planning, design, engineering, and construction solutions.

Roads don't build themselves — and neither do great careers. MSG is looking for an Entry-Level Transportation Engineer to join our Columbus, OH office and get real, hands-on experience designing the roadways and infrastructure that keep communities moving. If you're the kind of person who gets a little too excited about a well-designed intersection, we want to talk to you. This is a role for someone who wants to learn by doing — plan sets, grading plans, and design calcs, not busywork — alongside a team that'll actually teach you something.

And that commitment to your growth doesn't stop at on-the-job training. This role comes with a guaranteed seat in Blueprint, our new early career leadership program for engineers looking to grow beyond the typical entry-level experience. Over six months, you'll take part in a hands-on curriculum covering professional development, business acumen, and project delivery — including case studies, simulations, and role-play exercises — covering topics like project economics, communication, and leadership fundamentals. It all wraps up with an in-person capstone event where you'll present your work and map out your goals for the year ahead. Your Future Starts With A Plan.
