About The Position

Arcadis is seeking an experienced Civil / Environmental Engineer to join our Design Engineering team. This is a remote flexible opportunity. The candidate selected for this role can be based out of any Arcadis office in the Western US with an expectation of full-time office or hybrid home-office working. As a Principal Civil / Environmental Engineer, you will support a growing base of complex mining, reclamation, restoration, and development projects throughout North America, engage directly with our clients and the regulatory community, and serve as a mentor to junior staff. Engineering activities will include providing technical leadership at all levels of project delivery from conceptual planning through design and into construction. Work activities will include a mix of design analysis, calculation preparation and review, technical advisory roles, report writing, construction support, cost estimation, value engineering analysis, and leading teams of engineers in project delivery. Projects typically include large-scale earth moving and regrading, engineered containment such as caps and covers and waste repositories, stormwater management facilities, environmental remediation such as waste excavation, roads, land development, and stream and wetland restoration. The role is primarily office-based with expected project-related travel (e.g., site visits, client engagement, regulatory meetings) up to 20% depending on project and client expectations.
