Senior Engineer - Water Structures

What Your Day Will Look Like:

As a Senior Structural Engineer focused on water infrastructure, you will lead the planning, analysis, and design of critical water and wastewater structures, including treatment facilities, pump stations, reservoirs, elevated tanks, intake structures, and other hydraulic infrastructure. You will collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, project managers, clients, and regulatory agencies to develop innovative and resilient engineering solutions that support essential community services.

Your day will involve performing structural analyses, developing design calculations, preparing construction documents, and conducting technical reviews to ensure compliance with industry standards and client requirements. You will provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior engineers, guide project deliverables through all phases of design, and support business development efforts through client engagement and proposal development.

You will also participate in site visits, condition assessments, and construction support activities, helping resolve field issues and ensuring projects are delivered safely, efficiently, and to the highest quality standards. Balancing technical excellence with project execution, you will play a key role in delivering sustainable water infrastructure projects that have a lasting impact on the communities we serve.
