OVERVIEW

CHA Consulting, Inc., is currently seeking a Scientist II to join our Bridge Business Practice in our East Hartford, CT office.

Nearly one out of every ten bridges is structurally deficient. As the average age of our nation's bridges nears 50 years, successful bridge projects must balance complex analytics, engineering innovation and context sensitivity with economic prudency and long-term feasibility. CHA's bridge professionals incorporate collaborative and diverse thinking with practical and cost-effective designs that responsibly improve mobility and safety. We have inspected, designed, managed and overseen the construction of a wide array of grade separated crossings, retaining systems, and conveyance structures throughout the United States.

At CHA, our Scientists also conduct field work and as a result, prepare information to be utilized by managers, colleagues, and clients.
