Environmental Engineer/Scientist

Vantage Point Solutions, a growing and dynamic broadband consulting and engineering firm, is seeking qualified individuals to join our team of professionals. We have an immediate opening for an Engineering Staff team member at our Huron, SD office.

The Huron office serves an established client base in the eastern Dakotas by offering engineering and permitting services in multiple areas, including agriculture, wastewater, geotechnical, and general civil applications.

Engineering Staff work with colleagues and clients to usher projects through various stages, from start to finish. The types of projects may include multi-year, phased construction projects; permit applications with tight deadlines; local government permitting, environmental due diligence, construction oversight; and other initiatives.

The candidate will serve in multiple capacities ranging from field work and data collection to preparing plans and specifications for review by the supervising Professional Engineer, as well as performing construction inspections and interaction with clients and contractors. Engineering Staff team members can expect to communicate frequently with clients and vendors and work on multiple projects simultaneously.

The ideal candidate is organized, eager to learn, professional, and adaptable. Attention to detail and strong interpersonal communication skills are vital. The nature of the role requires a team player - meaning someone who can take ownership of assigned tasks, collaborate well with other members of the team, and proactively seeks to help team members push a project to the finish line.

This position does not have supervisory responsibility, but promotion over time for the candidate who demonstrates proper ability is possible.
