About The Position

Stanford University is seeking a Senior Civil Infrastructure Engineer to join their Land, Buildings & Real Estate (LBRE) department, specifically within the Water Resources and Civil Infrastructure Group. This role is responsible for the engineering, operation, and maintenance of critical campus infrastructure systems, including water distribution (potable, irrigation, recycled), storm drainage, sanitary sewer, and transportation assets like roads, bridges, and dams. The systems are comparable in scale and complexity to those of a mid-sized city, with a strong emphasis on long-term sustainability. The Senior Civil Infrastructure Engineer will manage and execute engineering aspects of system reliability, capacity assurance, capital program development, and project identification, scoping, planning, and quality assurance. This includes conducting systems evaluations, modeling, field inspections, condition assessments, engineering analyses, and managing consultants and contractors. The role requires collaboration with other utility managers, land use planning colleagues, and internal teams to ensure efficient operations, regulatory compliance, and minimize campus disruption. The anticipated yearly salary range for this position is $160,845.00 to $178,000.00.

Requirements

• Bachelor of Science degree in civil engineering is required.
• 10 years of progressively responsible engineering that includes experience in roads, drainage, water systems, and sewer systems; and that includes planning, design, hydraulic calculations, plans and specifications preparation, project management, and construction inspection.
• Professional approach, technical competence, initiative/creativity, excellent spoken and written communication and presentation skills, and desire to work as a collaborative team player.
• Demonstrated experience in advanced analysis, problem-solving, logistics planning, financial planning & budgeting, and customer service skills.

• Must possess and maintain a valid California non-commercial Class C Driver’s License.

Nice To Haves

• Master’s degree preferred.
• Professional engineering license in California preferred, with extensive analytical, design and field experience in general civil infrastructure, including roads, water, sewer, and storm drainage systems, and preferably dams and bridges, and familiarity with their operation.
• Working knowledge of instrumentation & controls systems, databases for inventory/asset management and operational/regulatory compliance reporting is preferred.
• Experience working with infrastructure design and modeling software (InfoWater, HEC-HMS, HEC-RAS, AutoCAD, etc.), along with a willingness to learn and master these and other innovative technological tools and software.

Responsibilities

• Manage and execute the engineering aspects of civil infrastructure systems’ reliability and capacity assurance, capital program development, and capital projects identification, scoping, planning, prioritizing and implementation quality assurance.
• Conduct/manage systems evaluations and engineering efforts such as hydrologic/hydraulic modeling, field inspections and condition assessments, engineering analyses, data management, field reconnaissance, preparation of engineering studies/reports, managing consultants and contractors, and field inspection of construction and installations.
• Review analyses and project design documents for clarity, completeness, and constructability.
• Work collaboratively within a team setting in the group to facilitate comprehensive and efficient engineering and operational efficiency and assure regulatory compliance.
• Directly manage some of the group’s more complex studies/analyses.
• Collaborate with other utilities managers (e.g., energy and communication systems) and land use planning and development colleagues in various departments to coordinate logistics to minimize campus disruption and facilitate contained project execution.
• Work collaboratively with the water planning/stewardship and business systems/data management teams and the operations staff to constantly improve the systems’ operations, reliability and regulatory compliance.
• Work closely with the group director to thoroughly understand the background, significance, and direction for the team’s efforts, and the priorities and processes to execute them collaboratively and successfully.
