Civil Engineer - Mid-Level

Description

• This position will offer you the opportunity to utilize and expand your civil engineering degree and skills, while working in a multi-disciplined team environment with other engineers and/or designers in the design, modification, and analysis of power plant systems.
• As a member of a multi-disciplined engineering and design team, you will work on a wide range of power plant projects and perform civil site development work including creating calculations, designs, and specifications.
• Your responsibilities may include the following:
• Prepare calculations relating to storm water drainage, sanitary sewer systems and disposal fields, and earthwork, to support design and permitting.
• Prepare technical specifications to define construction requirements.
• Prepare site layout, grading, and drainage designs.
• Design storm sewer systems, roads, trackwork, water storage and wastewater disposal ponds, and solid waste landfills.
• Work with Designers to accurately portray designs in 3-D models and design drawings.
• Review shop drawings and other vendor documentation for conformity with specifications.
• There is the potential for you to travel to client offices for design reviews and to plant site locations for construction coordination and field verification of designs.

This position is based on a hybrid work schedule based in our Clayton, Missouri office, located within the St. Louis metropolitan area and will require in-office work 3 days per week.

We do not sponsor employees for work authorization in the U.S. for this position.

Essential skills and experience:

• This position requires a BSCE from an ABET Engineering Accreditation Commission-approved program.
• 1-2 years of experience in design techniques, tools, and principles involved in the production of technical plans, drawings, and models.
• Proficiency with MS Office applications.
• The ability to work in a team environment.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Valued but not required skills and experience:

• Proficiency with civil engineering software programs such as Civil 3D, Storm Cad, Pond Pack, and Microstation or Auto Cad.
• One or more years of related experience in site grading and drainage, storm sewer systems, road design, track design, ponds, and/or landfills.
• Related engineering internship or co‑op work experience.
• Successful completion of the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam, and designation as an Engineer in Training.
• Experience in writing and providing support documentation for Civil Engineering specifications or calculations.

In this role, we expect people to be willing or able to solve problems using modern tools:

• You are expected to take engineering problems from issue to solution using data and modern tools such as automation and AI to improve workflows, reduce rework, and deliver cost‑effective designs.
• Many engineers in these roles build or use automation to create calculations, summarize technical documents, or draft design documentation, including appropriate use of agentic AI tools, with strong engineering judgment and verification of results.
• Programming or scripting (e.g., Python, MATLAB, advanced Excel) to automate calculations, design checks, reporting, or data transformation is valued but not required.
• We also value additional learning, such as a minor, certificate, or other training in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Software Engineering, or related fields that helps you apply automation or agentic AI to real engineering problems.
