Work Schedule: 9/80

We are seeking an experienced Civil Engineer Professional to support major capital projects within our Energy, Chemicals, and Industrial Infrastructure business unit. In this role, you will plan, conduct, and coordinate detailed engineering work across the Civil, Structural, and Architectural (CSA) discipline, with a primary focus on heavy industrial plant civil site development.
This position involves conventional and complex civil engineering design activities, including resolving conflicting design parameters, addressing non-standard site/material conditions, and driving multi-discipline coordination.

• Detailed Engineering & Design: Plan, schedule, and execute civil site development design packages, including site layout, rough and finish grading, drainage systems, stormwater and sanitary networks, underground utility corridors, rigid/flexible pavements, railroad crossings, and soil retention/stabilization structures.
• Engineering Tools & Modeling: Perform modeling, calculations, and drawing preparation utilizing 2D/3D CADD platforms and specialized engineering applications (Bentley Micro Station, InRoads, Culvert Master, Flow Master, Civil Storm, and Intergraph Smart 3D).
• Procurement & Subcontract Support: Prepare technical specifications, material requisitions, and technical bid evaluations; provide award recommendations for civil subcontracts and material packages.
• Vendor & Client Interface: Review supplier and subcontractor technical documentation, drawings, and deliverables. Draft technical correspondence to clients and vendors.
• Interdisciplinary Coordination: Coordinate design interfaces between Civil Engineering and other disciplines (structural, piping, electrical, mechanical), project field personnel, and clients.
• Studies & Estimating: Prepare conceptual studies, design calculations, cost estimates, quantity take-offs (MTOs), and staffing forecasts for proposals and change orders.
• Technical Leadership: Serve as lead technical engineer for assigned work packages, providing mentorship, direction, and checking deliverables produced by subordinate engineers, designers, and drafters.

• Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Civil Engineering from an accredited college or university.
• Licensure: Active Professional Engineer (PE) license from a recognized licensing board.
• Experience: 6+ years of progressive design engineering experience with a strong background in industrial, energy, or chemical plant civil site development.
• Technical Knowledge:
  • Proficiency in site hydrology, hydraulics, earthwork grading, paving design, and underground utilities.
  • In-depth working knowledge of industry codes, standards, and design criteria (e.g., AASHTO, ACI, ASTM, Asphalt Institute, PCA).
  • Working knowledge of plant constructability, construction methods, and materials.
• Software Proficiency: Hands-on proficiency with Bentley Micro Station, InRoads, Culvert Master, Flow Master, Civil Storm, Intergraph Smart 3D (S3D), or equivalent industry-standard tools.
• Communication: Strong technical writing and verbal communication skills; comfortable presenting to multidisciplinary project teams, clients, and suppliers.
