Licensed Professional Engineer

Come and join the City of Fresno in achieving our mission of Building a Better Fresno!

The City of Fresno has exceptional career opportunities available for experienced professional engineers.

The city currently has hundreds of capital projects in process and was recently awarded millions of dollars from the State of California for infrastructure improvements to Downtown Fresno and the Blackstone and McKinley BNSF Grade Separation Project.

Prioritizing capital projects along with other critical responsibilities that are integral to daily departmental operations and improvements to the general City infrastructure is of utmost importance and the City is building capacity to ensure projects are delivered in a timely manner. Incumbents in this class perform complex work that requires licensure as a Professional Engineer and may supervise, coordinate, and evaluate the performance of pre-professional engineers and technical engineering staff engaged in civil, electrical, fire protection, geotechnical, structural, mechanical, sanitary, or traffic engineering.

The current vacancies exist in the Capital Projects Department and the Department of Public Utilities.

With these infrastructure improvements the city has created a new Capital Projects Department. This is necessary to restructure the workflow of critical projects in focusing efficiencies on capital projects delivery, the completion of projects timely and within budget. The staff in this new department will be focused on critical capital projects delivery. The Capital Project Department has Licensed Professional Engineer openings in the Design Services Division, Transportation Project Management Division and the Utilities and On-Site Project Management Division.

Experience in transportation and Civil Engineering is desirable.

Oversight on the planning, design, and construction of potable water, recycled water, and wastewater projects, as well as providing oversight on water resources management matters. Knowledge and experience with the Fresno Metropolitan Water Resources Management Plan, Groundwater Sustainability Management Plan, Urban Water Management Plan, Recycled Water Master Plan, and Sewer Collection System Master Plan, and the Central Valley Project Contract, is preferred.
