Senior Program Director, Gordie Howe International Bridge

Parsons is looking for a Senior Program Manager for the Gordie Howe International Bridge. The Gordie Howe International Bridge project is a once-in-a-generation undertaking. Not only will the project deliver much-needed transportation improvements for international travelers, but it will also provide jobs and opportunities for growth to the Windsor-Detroit region and includes features that make this project truly distinctive.

The project consists of the longest cable-stay bridge in North America with a main span of 853m (2,798 ft), as well as the two largest Ports of Entry on the northern border, and finally a new interchange with Interstate I-75 in Detroit.
