Overview

We are seeking an Engineer, Utility Engineering and Coordination to join our growing team in Denver, CO . This is an excellent opportunity for an intermediate engineer (3–5 years' experience) to build specialized expertise in utility engineering and coordination on complex infrastructure projects.

In this role, you'll work alongside experienced engineers to support—and progressively lead—efforts related to utility conflict analysis, relocation design, and stakeholder coordination across multidisciplinary transportation and infrastructure projects. You'll gain exposure to real-world challenges involving utilities such as water, wastewater, stormwater, gas, electric, and telecommunications systems, while developing both your technical and project coordination skills.

• Support the identification, analysis, and resolution of utility conflicts across multiple systems
• Prepare utility base maps and composite exhibits using survey data, SUE information, and record drawings
• Perform engineering calculations related to depth, clearance, offsets, and constructability
• Evaluate alternative design and relocation solutions based on feasibility, cost, and project constraints
• Assist in developing specifications, cost estimates, and quantity takeoffs
• Support utility owners in advancing relocation designs, plans, and profiles

• Assist in—and progressively take ownership of—utility coordination efforts across projects
• Maintain conflict matrices, logs, and coordination records
• Partner with utility owners and stakeholders to proactively resolve conflicts
• Participate in coordination meetings and prepare summaries and action items

• Conduct investigations using SUE data, record documentation, and field observations
• Prepare portions of reports, including:
• Utility conflict analyses
• Coordination summaries
• Design documentation
• Develop graphics, exhibits, and technical documentation for presentations and reports
• Analyze and interpret data to support informed engineering decisions

• Review construction drawings and submittals for compliance
• Support field activities including:
• Responding to RFIs
• Assisting with field conflict resolution
• Observing utility installation and construction progress
• Contribute to progress tracking and project documentation

• Coordinate with internal disciplines (roadway, drainage, structures, etc.) to integrate designs
• Provide guidance to technicians or junior staff as your experience grows
