  • A Bachelor of Science or Master of Science degree in Civil Engineering from an accredited program is required.
  • Registration as a Professional Engineer (PE) is required.
  • At least 2–4 or more years of experience in water systems, wastewater collection, or hydraulics/hydrology design is required.
  • Strong communication, organization, and client service skills are required.
  • A proven record of meeting deadlines and budgets is required.
  • Proficiency with AutoCAD Civil 3D, WaterCAD/WaterGEMS, InfoWater, EPANET, SewerGEMS/SWMM, HEC-HMS, HEC-RAS (1D/2D), and two-dimensional overland flow tools such as SRH-2D or FLO-2D is required.

Responsibilities

  • Serve as a project engineer on multidisciplinary water resources projects, owning scope, schedule, budget, quality, and risk from planning through construction support while delivering client value and stakeholder satisfaction.
  • Develop project execution plans, scopes of work, and phase plans; tailor delivery approaches, including predictive, agile, or hybrid methods, to the project context and desired outcomes.
  • Establish scope, schedule, and budget baselines; monitor progress; apply change management; maintain earned-value, cost, and schedule reporting appropriate to project scale; and follow company change-management procedures and delegation of authority.
  • Identify, analyze qualitatively and quantitatively, respond to, and monitor risks; proactively escalate issues and capture opportunities.
  • Map stakeholders; maintain transparent communications; lead meetings and presentations; and manage expectations and decisions.
  • Plan and execute design reviews, interdisciplinary checks, model reviews, and constructability reviews; maintain document control and versioning.
  • Forecast and allocate staff; coordinate multi-office workshare; and manage subconsultant scopes, deliverables, and invoices.
  • Integrate safety-by-design and environmental considerations and uphold company and client procedures.
  • Prepare fee proposals; track budgets; support invoicing and cash flow; and manage contract compliance and modifications.
  • Maintain decision logs; archive calculations and correspondence; and conduct closeout, performance-review, and lessons-learned sessions.
  • Perform services with the ordinary skill and care of a reasonably prudent Professional Engineer practicing under similar circumstances and in the same or similar locality; perfection is not implied.
  • Hold paramount the safety, health, and welfare of the public; practice only within areas of competence; act as a faithful agent to the client; and maintain honesty and integrity in all communications.
  • Comply with applicable laws, codes, standards, and permitting requirements, and identify constraints and assumptions transparently.
  • Avoid expanding obligations beyond insurable standard-of-care language unless expressly negotiated, since terms such as “best,” “highest,” or “ensure” may inadvertently elevate liability.
  • Document key decisions, design bases, and limitations, including data gaps and uncertainties arising from climate, geotechnical, or hydrologic variability.
  • Follow the firm’s Quality Management Plan (QMP).
  • Plan checklists and hold-gates for calculations, models, drawings, and specifications; incorporate independent technical reviews and interdisciplinary coordination.
  • Ensure traceability of inputs, assumptions, and revisions and manage document control according to project standards.
  • Pursue continuous improvement through audits, corrective actions, and client feedback; use metrics to assess process effectiveness.
  • Plan, design, and analyze water transmission, storage, and distribution systems; wastewater collection systems; and pump stations.
  • Perform hydrologic and hydraulic analyses and prepare drainage studies, master plans, and feasibility reports.
  • Develop plans, specifications, and engineer’s estimates and support permitting across jurisdictions.
  • Build and calibrate system and network models; evaluate alternatives; and support value engineering and constructability reviews.
  • Coordinate field data collection, condition assessments, and utility investigations.
  • Lead and mentor team members, engineers, and designers; foster collaborative, inclusive teams across disciplines and offices.
  • Coordinate with clients, agencies, and subconsultants; support pursuit efforts and proposals, including scopes, schedules, budgets, and presentations.
