In addition to the current opening, this recruitment may be used to establish a pool of qualified candidates to fill future Engineer III positions throughout the Department of Natural Resources & Parks (DNRP) over the next 6 months.

The Solid Waste Division (SWD) of King County’s Department of Natural Resources and Parks is seeking a motivated, solutions-focused professional to serve as a Remedial Actions Lead (Engineer III). If you are a collaborative problem solver who thrives on complex environmental and engineering challenges, this role offers the opportunity to support vital work that protects public health and the environment for King County communities.

Within the Solid Waste Division, the Facilities Engineering Services (FES) unit is a multidisciplinary team supporting both capital projects and daily operations at King County’s only operational landfill. We are committed to engineering excellence, continuous learning, and meaningful environmental stewardship - and we invite you to bring your expertise and technical guidance to our team.

This full-time Engineer III position serves as the technical lead for remedial actions at the Cedar Hills Regional Landfill. In this senior engineering role, you will develop and advance remediation strategies, provide technical direction on environmental engineering projects, and support Capital Improvement Program (CIP) efforts from design through commissioning. You will also provide engineering support to Operations, manage non-capital projects, and contribute technical expertise to teams across the Solid Waste Division.

Our engineers bring a range of relevant experience to this work, including civil and environmental engineering, wastewater systems, gas collection and conveyance, and environmental science. This diversity supports the broad and complex engineering challenges at Cedar Hills. Because landfill engineering is a specialized discipline, we provide targeted training to help new team members build the site-specific knowledge needed to apply their expertise effectively.

As an Engineer III, you will also serve as a technical leader within the Facilities Engineering Services team. This includes mentoring junior engineers and scientists, collaborating closely with capital project managers and multidisciplinary teams, and fostering a culture of teamwork, innovation, and continuous learning.

The Facility Engineering and Science Unit (FES) is a critical part of the Capital Planning and Delivery Section within the Solid Waste Division (SWD). Our engineers and scientists support a variety of large-scale programs and projects within SWD. FES is a dynamic team committed to safety, environmental stewardship and providing critical services to the residents and businesses of King County. Our team consists of civil, mechanical, chemical, and environmental engineers, geologists, environmental scientists, operational technology systems engineers, IT systems architect, project managers, CAD/BIM professionals as well as surveyors and asset managers.
