The role of a Civil Engineer is to work as a team member as part of project teams of all sizes. You should be able to evaluate, select, specify, and engineer systems or products for a project. You will perform a variety of tasks which may include design, calculations, field work, coordination of tasks, and technical writing.

You will apply your technical skills, project delivery, and developing leadership abilities to a complex array of multi-disciplinary planning, design and construction projects for a wide range of infrastructure for municipal, federal and other clients. Projects will typically involve water mains, sewers, force mains, culverts, municipal and site roads, sidewalks, parking lots, stormwater management facilities including Low Impact Development, grading and drainage. As you continue to develop specific experience and skills, you may specialize in one area, or continue as a generalist.

The selected candidate will be confident, self-directed, capable of leading tasks, and will demonstrate a passion for involvement in the municipal engineering industry and an enthusiasm to help develop the practice.

In general, this role will assist more senior engineers/designers by performing the routine aspects of civil engineering assignments and may assist in the analysis of proposed projects.
