Designer, Engineering Design & Technologists, Civil Engineering

This Project Designer role focuses on the design of natural gas distribution systems and related underground utilities. You will work on a wide range of infrastructure projects, including system improvements, capacity upgrades, and new distribution system installations that serve residential, commercial, and industrial customers. The position is based in the office five days per week and offers a clear path to grow into a Project Manager role while contributing to a collaborative, quality-focused engineering team.

• Plan, evaluate, and execute engineering designs for new natural gas distribution projects and improvements to existing facilities.
• Prepare detailed engineering plans, drawings, specifications, calculations, and supporting documentation for projects of varying size and complexity.
• Design natural gas distribution infrastructure, including plastic and steel mains, service lines, and associated system components that serve businesses and homes.
• Develop designs for low-, medium-, and high-pressure gas distribution systems, ensuring safety, reliability, and compliance with applicable standards.
• Perform engineering analyses and calculations to support design decisions and validate system performance.
• Create detailed drawings for gas distribution infrastructure and related underground utilities, using Civil 3D and other design tools as needed.
• Build bills of materials (BOMs) and complete finished design packages for client review and construction use.
• Track and document project communications, revisions, and design modifications to maintain accurate and up-to-date design records.
• Maintain organized project records, design files, and documentation for all assigned projects.
• Coordinate permit applications and work directly with local, state, and regulatory agencies throughout the approval process.
• Identify and resolve unique design challenges using sound engineering judgment and practical problem-solving skills.
• Conduct field visits, site assessments, and construction observations as required to support design development and verify field conditions.
• Support project managers with scheduling, coordination, budgeting, and overall project delivery activities.
• Assist with the preparation of technical proposals, scope definitions, and business development materials.
• Participate in client meetings, design reviews, progress meetings, and pre-construction meetings to present and discuss design solutions.
• Build and maintain strong working relationships with clients, stakeholders, and internal team members.
• Contribute to a culture focused on quality, collaboration, and continuous improvement across the engineering team.
• Develop technical and leadership skills with the goal of progressing into a Project Manager role over time.
• Leverage experience with comparable underground systems such as water mains, sewer systems, underground utilities, or fiber optics when applicable to natural gas design.

• High school diploma or equivalent.
• Robust experience using AutoCAD Civil 3D for design and drafting work.
• Approximately two years of experience in natural gas distribution system design or related utility infrastructure projects, or closely comparable underground utility design experience.
• Proficiency with Autodesk Civil 3D for creating detailed plans, profiles, and construction drawings.
• Experience designing or supporting underground utility systems such as natural gas mains, service lines, water mains, sewer systems, or other underground infrastructure.
• Ability to prepare engineering plans, specifications, calculations, and supporting documentation.
• Strong analytical and technical skills with the ability to perform engineering…
