Job opportunities
Interstate Bridge Replacement Program Administrator
Hiring agency: WSDOT
The Washington and Oregon Departments of Transportation (WSDOT and ODOT) are seeking a strategic executive leader with strong political acumen, financial discipline, and the ability to build durable partnerships across jurisdictions to lead the IBR Program. The IBR Program Administrator serves as the primary executive for one of the nation’s most complex bi-state transportation megaprograms, providing strategic direction and full operational oversight.
Accountable to both WSDOT and ODOT leadership, this role guides a $6+ billion investment through planning, policy development, funding strategy, risk management, and eventual construction to ensure delivery with transparency, fiscal stewardship, and alignment with federal, state, and bi-state requirements. The Program Administrator leads multidisciplinary teams, oversees significant public funds and consultant contracts, shapes legislative and policy strategy, and serves as the program’s primary ambassador to elected officials, community leaders, industry partners, and the public.
Guided by a rare bi-state governance structure that includes both Governors, state legislatures, transportation agency leaders, cities, transit agencies, ports, and metropolitan planning organizations, IBR stands at the intersection of infrastructure delivery, public policy, and economic vitality. Far more than a bridge project – IBR is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to shape how two states connect, move, and grow.
