About The Position

The desired candidate will have experience in serving as a Design Manager or Project Engineer with full technical responsibility for planning, coordination, and execution of tasks for small or larger projects. This includes the preparation of contract specifications and drawings, as well as the planning, design, and construction of new pipelines (pressure and gravity) ranging in diameters and material types. The role also involves condition assessment and prioritization and rehabilitation of existing pipelines. Additionally, the candidate will be responsible for the planning, design, and construction of stormwater infrastructure and nature-based solutions for wet weather infrastructure, including new and retrofitted stormwater basins, stream restorations, and wet weather conveyance infrastructure such as culverts and pump stations. Hydraulic modeling, including interpretation of modeling results to inform design of new pipelines or rehabilitation of existing pipelines, is also a key responsibility. The candidate will perform pipe design calculations to determine pipe size, pressure class, external loads including trench design, and pipe joint selection. Technical expertise in the layout and profiles of pipeline design in AutoCAD Civil 3D is required, along with utility investigations and coordination to determine and resolve potential vertical and horizontal utility conflicts. Knowledge of subsurface and geotechnical engineering requirements, field surveying project requirements, sewer system evaluation surveys, inflow/infiltration studies, and development and review of technical reports, proposals, contract documents, resource studies, and data analysis are also essential. The role includes providing office and field engineering support during construction.
