Civil Engineer / Designer

Talon Hiring Solutions•Birmingham, AL

20h•$85,000 - $130,000

About The Position

Talon Hiring Solutions is seeking a Civil Engineer/Civil Designer for a client in the greater Birmingham, Alabama area. The role supports site development and civil engineering design for industrial and manufacturing facilities, including site layouts, grading, stormwater management, drainage, and underground utilities. Projects may involve manufacturing plants, process facilities, power generation, steel, mining, chemical, and other heavy industrial environments. This is an industrial site development position, not a transportation infrastructure position. The successful candidate will use Civil 3D to take civil design scopes from initial site development through completed construction drawing packages. They will work independently while coordinating with other engineering disciplines, clients, contractors, surveyors, and field personnel to deliver practical, constructible designs suited to industrial environments.

Requirements

Three to ten or more years of civil engineering or civil design experience.
Strong working proficiency in Civil 3D for site layouts, surfaces, grading, drainage, utilities, and construction drawings.
Experience independently preparing civil site development design packages.
Experience preparing site plans, grading plans, utility plans, drainage plans, and construction details.
Experience with stormwater calculations, drainage design, SWPPP preparation, and permitting.
Experience in industrial engineering, consulting, or design environments and with industrial or large-scale facility projects.
Working knowledge of industrial site development and layout, grading and earthwork, stormwater management and drainage, drainage analysis, detention and retention ponds, underground utilities, SWPPP preparation and permitting, erosion and sediment control, and civil construction drawings.
Experience with constructability, site constraints, and the practical requirements of developing industrial properties.
Ability to work independently, manage design responsibilities, and coordinate effectively with multidisciplinary engineering teams.
Strong problem-solving skills and understanding of practical, constructible civil design solutions.
AutoCAD proficiency.
Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite, including Excel, Word, and Outlook.

Nice To Haves

A degree in Civil Engineering or Civil Engineering Technology, or equivalent civil design experience, is preferred.
Engineer-in-Training (EIT) or Professional Engineer (PE) registration is preferred but not required.
GIS experience is a plus.
Experience with manufacturing plants, chemical and process facilities, power generation and energy facilities, steel mills and metal processing facilities, mining and mineral processing operations, heavy industrial construction and facility expansions, or other large-scale industrial or process environments.

Responsibilities

Develop civil site layouts and site development plans for industrial and manufacturing facilities.
Prepare grading and earthwork designs, including finished grades, drainage patterns, slopes, and site elevations.
Design stormwater collection and drainage systems, including storm sewer networks and drainage structures.
Perform stormwater calculations and develop stormwater management solutions for industrial sites.
Design detention and retention ponds and other stormwater management systems.
Develop underground utility layouts and design plans for site infrastructure.
Prepare Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPP), erosion control plans, and sediment control details.
Prepare civil engineering construction drawing packages, including site plans, grading plans, utility plans, drainage plans, and construction details.
Perform design calculations, quantity takeoffs, and material estimates to support project development and construction.
Use Civil 3D to develop site models, surfaces, alignments, grading plans, profiles, and construction drawings.
Coordinate civil design activities with mechanical, piping, structural, electrical, and process engineering disciplines.
Work with clients, contractors, surveyors, and field personnel to address site conditions, resolve design issues, and support project execution.
Apply practical engineering judgment to develop site designs that meet project requirements and can be constructed and maintained in an industrial environment.
