Job Description & How to Apply Below

The Environmental Engineering role leads complex environmental engineering work involving the planning, analysis, and design of solutions that support environmental protection, water sustainability, and public health outcomes. Operating with minimal supervision, this role applies advanced technical expertise to solve complex problems without clearly defined solutions across natural and engineered systems. This position addresses environmental and public health protection, mitigation, and prevention of degradation of water, soils, air quality, and habitats.

This role may lead technical efforts across water and wastewater treatment and conveyance, stormwater management, solid and hazardous waste management, and related practice areas. This role is responsible for delivering high‑quality engineering analyses, designs, and recommendations with significant project impact.

Responsibilities
  • Independently perform technical analyses and evaluate sustainable environmental engineering solutions.
  • Prepare, review, and finalize technical reports, calculations, and design documentation.
  • Design environmental protection systems and infrastructure in accordance with regulatory and project requirement
  • Develop facility, watershed, or resource management plans with defined scopes and objectives. Analyze complex data sets and ensure technical accuracy and regulatory compliance of deliverables.
  • Provide technical support for permitting, regulatory approvals, and coordination with vendors and stakeholders
  • Support project execution through collaboration with multidisciplinary teams.
  • Flexibility to adapt and execute various additional assignments based on evolving needs.
  • May provide mentorship, guidance, support, and knowledge-sharing to help less experienced team members develop their skills and grow within their roles.
Skills and Competencies
  • Proficient knowledge of environmental engineering principles, methods, and regulatory frameworks.
