We are seeking professionals with technical backgrounds in Stormwater and Site Civil Design, Electrical Engineering, and environmental and land use permitting, ideally with prior experience supporting utility and/or telecommunication projects.

Roles will be remote and may require some office and field work. We anticipate hiring in regional hubs across the South, Midwest, and West.

Responsible for the design and analysis of stormwater management systems to support site development projects. Duties include sizing and designing stormwater detention/retention basins, preparing drainage calculations and reports, reviewing municipal, county, and state stormwater ordinances, and coordinating with site civil designers to incorporate drainage requirements into overall site layouts. The Stormwater Designer develops permit‑ready drainage documentation, supports agency review responses, and assists in advancing projects from preliminary design through final construction plans and permitting approval.

Responsible for preparing site civil engineering plans for commercial, industrial, utility, and infrastructure development projects. Duties include site layout, grading design, utility coordination, access and circulation planning, erosion control measures, and preparation of permit and construction documents. The Site Civil Designer works closely with clients, permitting agencies, stormwater designers, and utility providers to develop fully coordinated plans that meet regulatory requirements and progress from entitlement and permitting through Issued‑for‑Construction (IFC) plan development and construction support.

Responsible for designing electrical infrastructure required to serve telecommunications and fiber network facilities, including fiber amplification huts and associated utility connections. Duties include developing three‑phase power distribution designs, coordinating electrical service requirements with utility providers, preparing construction drawings and technical specifications, and ensuring compliance with applicable electrical codes and standards. The Electrical Engineer works closely with site civil designers to coordinate equipment layouts, service entrances, conduit routing, grounding systems, and utility interconnections to deliver permit‑ready and construction‑ready electrical plans.

Serves as the primary point of contact with local, county, and state permitting agencies for all sites being designed, permitted, and constructed on behalf of the client. Responsibilities include leading permit strategy and agency coordination, scheduling and facilitating pre‑application meetings, site development review meetings, building permit reviews, and pre‑construction conferences. The Permitting Coordinator prepares, compiles, and submits permit applications and supporting documentation, working closely with civil, stormwater, electrical, and other design disciplines to ensure complete and accurate submittals.

This role also coordinates with local AECOM staff to conduct regular in‑person agency visits, proactively tracks permit status, resolves review comments, and serves as the liaison between designers, contractors, utility providers, and jurisdictional staff to advance projects through permitting, approval, and construction.
