Associate Water​/Wastewater Engineer

Overview NV5's Southern California Water/Wastewater Practice has an exciting opportunity for an associate engineer. Our practice focuses on the planning and design of water, wastewater, and recycled water infrastructure. We produce sustainable and innovative projects that assist disadvantaged communities with access to safe drinking water and promote sustainable water resources through water recycling and indirect potable reuse. Our primary mission is to create a lasting impact on society.

We believe that every individual should have access to clean and safe drinking water, regardless of their circumstances. With this in mind, we take a two-fold approach to our mission: access to safe drinking water & sustainable water resources.
