Job Title:

Civil Engineer

Job Description

This role is an excellent opportunity for a civil or environmental engineering graduate with 0-3 years of experience who wants to build a professional engineering career in water resources and sustainable water and wastewater infrastructure. You will join a project team that helps communities and industries solve complex infrastructure challenges, including water distribution, wastewater collection, and stormwater systems. The team-based culture strongly supports learning, mentorship, and professional growth, especially for entry-level engineers.

Responsibilities

+ Apply standard engineering techniques, procedures, and criteria to complete assigned engineering tasks on water, wastewater, stormwater, and related infrastructure projects.

+ Work under the supervision and guidance of a project manager or PE-level team member while progressively taking on more responsibility.

+ Perform field work and site visits to support data collection, inspections, and construction observation for civil infrastructure projects.

+ Conduct inspections of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation infrastructure to verify compliance with plans, specifications, and regulatory requirements.

+ Prepare and contribute to engineering reports, technical memoranda, and project documentation for municipal infrastructure projects.

+ Assist with permit preparation and coordination, including compiling supporting documentation and submitting applications to regulatory agencies.

+ Support construction engineering activities, including reviewing contractor submittals, tracking progress, and documenting field conditions.

+ Perform basic and intermediate design calculations for civil engineering projects, such as grading, drainage, stormwater management, and utility layouts.

+ Coordinate with contractors during design and construction to clarify plans, resolve issues, and support successful project delivery.

+ Review construction drawings and specifications to ensure accuracy, constructability, and compliance with project requirements.

+ Contact and coordinate with government officials and permitting authorities to obtain necessary permits and approvals.

+ Collaborate with project teams on the design of water distribution systems, wastewater collection systems, and related facilities and pipe networks for municipal clients.

+ Contribute to rehabilitation and new construction projects for water systems, wastewater systems, and transportation infrastructure across various cities and towns.

+ Assist with stormwater engineering tasks, including drainage analysis and stormwater management design.

+ Interact with clients as part of project teams, helping to communicate technical information and project status.

+ Work closely with an assigned mentor to develop technical skills, project management capabilities, and professional judgment.

+ Participate in regular performance evaluations and use feedback to support continuous professional development.

Essential Skills

+ Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering or Environmental and Ecological Engineering (or closely related civil/environmental discipline).

+ 0-3 years of civil engineering experience in one or more of the following areas: water/wastewater, transportation, site development, or stormwater/drainage.

+ Interest in and commitment to a career focused on water resources and sustainable water and wastewater infrastructure.

+ Graduate degree in Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, or a related discipline is a plus.

+ Passed FE (Engineer-in-Training) exam is preferred and may support a higher entry-level classification.

Work Environment

The work environment combines a laid-back, friendly office atmosphere with periods that can be deadline-intensive, reflecting the demands of project schedules. The culture emphasizes a strong team environment, a family feel, and close collaboration among engineers at all levels. Engineers enjoy a mix of office-based design work and field work, providing a balanced start to a career in civil engineering. Standard office hours are generally 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., with flexibility to start as early as 7:00 a.m. and leave…
