Senior Civil Engineering Designer

We're partnering with a top global engineering and construction firm to find a Senior Civil Engineering Technician for their Power Providers sector. You'll join the Virtual Design & Data Solutions (VDDS) group, leading a design team that delivers site development packages for Advanced Power Generation (APG) projects. It's critical infrastructure work on large, complex power plant sites, and it starts as a contract with a clear path to a permanent role.

This is a senior position in every sense. You'll set the design and graphic standards, review other technicians' work and be the person the team turns to when a design problem gets tricky.

What you'll be doing:

• Leading design teams producing site development plans covering grading and drainage, erosion control, roadways, fencing and underground utilities
• Creating and modifying designs in Autodesk Civil 3D, Bentley Micro Station and Bentley Open Plant Modeler
• Establishing design and graphic standards and making sure deliverables meet applicable codes
• Reviewing design inputs and deliverables from others for quality, accuracy and consistency
• Performing design calculations, material quantity takeoffs and estimates
  
  Managing drawing control and project records
• Coordinating with other design disciplines to keep designs aligned
• Monitoring production against budget and schedule
• Training and mentoring other engineering technicians, including running training sessions in your area of expertise
• Contributing to process improvement and updates to design guides
• Supporting field activities when needed

Why this role:

• Contract to perm with a globally recognized engineering firm
• Leadership responsibility without leaving the technical work behind
• Power generation projects that are a step up in scale and complexity from typical land development work
• Four office locations to choose from

Location:

Candidates must live within 50 miles of one of the following offices:

• Associate degree in Drafting or an Engineering Design related technology (Bachelor's preferred)
• Advanced Autodesk Civil 3D skills, particularly grading, drainage and utility design
• Experience with Bentley Micro Station and/or Open Plant Modeler is a strong plus
• Background in site development for power generation, utility or industrial projects
• Experience leading or supervising other technicians and reviewing their work
