At Salas O’Brien we tell our clients that we’re engineered for impact. This passion for making a difference applies just as much to our team as it does to our projects. That’s why we’re committed to living our values every day: inspiring, achieving, and connecting as shared owners of our success with a focus on a sustainable future.

Building for the long-term means that all our team members can expect to work on amazing projects with a people-first approach to problem solving. It also means that each member of our team has truly limitless potential to build a unique, meaningful, and high-impact career—and they’ll receive great total rewards along the way.

Work tasks will be varied and require flexibility and versatility in the civil engineering field. Examples of type of work to be performed include civil site design, flat infrastructure design including utility and roadway design, environmental assessments and permitting, and water resource management planning and design. Projects will include a variety of customer types (Federal, state, and local government and commercial clients) with projects located throughout the US and around the world.

Specific engineering tasks include but are not limited to developing design engineering documents (plans, specifications and calculations) for facility maintenance and repair projects and new construction. In support of the work, engineers will perform detailed cost analyses and material take-offs and perform construction management for ongoing construction efforts.

Work will be conducted mostly in the Space Coast Area of Florida (Brevard County) and Gulf Coast Area of Mississippi. Travel to other locations for projects may be required but will be limited.

• Work collaboratively with a team of multi-discipline engineers to produce high quality, code-compliant design documents within an established schedule and budget.
• Perform site visits, review as-built documentation, codes, and regulations to understand existing site conditions and assess project needs, requirements, and limitations.
• Develop construction drawings, construction specifications, calculations, reports, cost estimates, and permit applications.
• Perform design including but not limited to the following technical areas:
  • Stormwater – design for grading and stormwater collection and conveyance systems, design and permitting of stormwater treatment systems, construction stormwater best management practices.
  • Utilities – water (potable and fire suppression distribution), sanitary sewer (force main, gravity flow, and lift stations), and natural gas system design; routing design of electrical and communication systems.
  • Pavement – structural and geometry design of asphalt, concrete, and unpaved roadways.
  • Sitework – design of site improvements and elements including pedestrian pavements, bollards, fencing, and similar.
  • Environmental – development of requirements for sampling and survey including hazardous materials (asbestos, PCB, RECRA metals) and biological impacts.
  • Associated general design elements – earthwork, minor structures and foundations.
• Develop requirements and coordinate with specialty subcontractors for geotechnical investigations, subsurface utility locates, topographic surveys, and hazardous material sampling / surveys.
• Facility condition assessments and capital asset management planning.
• Development of construction specification packages.
