+ Prepare sediment and erosion control plans in compliance with applicable standards and regulations.

+ Design storm drain systems and perform associated hydraulic and hydrologic computations.

+ Complete water and sewer designs in accordance with local utility standards, including WSSC water and sewer design requirements.

+ Prepare grade establishment plans, ensuring appropriate grading, drainage, and constructability across project sites.

+ Develop right-of-way improvement plans, including roadway, streetscape, and utility improvements.

+ Create and refine maintenance of traffic plans to support safe and efficient construction phasing and traffic control.

+ Manage standard to routine design tasks, including running engineering reports and performing technical calculations.

+ Work independently on assigned tasks to deliver accurate, timely, and high-quality design outputs.

+ Supervise, coordinate, and review the work of Design Engineers and Technicians to ensure consistency, accuracy, and adherence to project standards.

+ Provide technical guidance and mentorship to less experienced team members in civil design and software tools.

+ Coordinate project efforts with clients, regulatory agencies, internal departments, and external consultants.

+ Contribute to engineering reports, technical memoranda, and project documentation.

+ Support project engineering activities, including design iterations, quality checks, and responses to review comments.

+ Engage in site design, grading, drainage, and utility layout for K-12, light commercial, and industrial projects.

+ Participate in internal meetings and cross-office collaboration to align design efforts and project objectives.

+ Demonstrate initiative by taking ownership of tasks from day one and proactively identifying design issues and solutions.

+ Develop professional skills and experience with an eye toward future project management responsibilities.

Essential Skills

+ Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in Civil Engineering.

+ Minimum of 3-5 years of experience in civil engineering, preferably with a focus on land development projects.

+ At least 3 years of hands-on experience using AutoCAD Civil 3D on land development, water resources, or transportation projects.

+ Proficiency in AutoCAD and Civil 3D for site design, grading, and utility layout.

+ Proficiency with the Microsoft Office Suite for reports, calculations, and documentation.

+ Technical proficiency in roadway and street design, including alignment, grading, and associated improvements.

+ Strong skills in grading design for site development projects.

+ Experience in stormwater management design, including ESD and structural stormwater solutions.

+ Experience in erosion and sediment control design in accordance with applicable standards.

+ Experience in stormwater and drainage design, including storm drain layout and related computations.

+ Experience in water distribution system design, including preparation of water plans and profiles.

+ Experience in sanitary sewer design, including layout, grading, and hydraulic considerations.

+ Ability to run engineering reports and perform technical calculations accurately and efficiently.

+ Strong written communication skills for report writing and documentation.

+ Strong verbal communication skills for coordination with clients, agencies, and internal teams.

+ Detail-oriented approach with strong organizational skills to manage multiple tasks and deadlines.

+ Ability to work independently and generate expected results with minimal supervision.

+ Ability to supervise, coordinate, and review the work of Design Engineers and Technicians.
