Civil Engineer

Entry-Level Civil / Environmental Engineer

This entry-level Civil or Environmental Engineer role focuses on supporting a wide range of solid waste projects, including landfill and landfill gas system design, permitting, construction plans, and construction oversight. You will split your time between office-based design and analysis work and field-based activities that provide hands-on learning opportunities. The position offers a hybrid work arrangement when field presence is not required and provides strong opportunities for professional growth within a mission-driven, employee-owned firm dedicated to smart climate solutions and environmental improvement.

Responsibilities

• Assist project staff in overseeing drilling activities, including probe and well installation, borehole logging, well development, well construction, monitoring, and sampling.
• Conduct and document construction quality assurance observations and similar construction inspections to verify compliance with design plans, specifications, and construction requirements.
• Perform quality control reviews on work products such as reports, design plans, calculations, and data prior to submission to the Project or Task Manager.
• Work with the Project or Task Manager to coordinate activities with contractors, subcontractors, and clients to support successful project delivery.
• Compile field and analytical data and help prepare portions of technical reports, progressing toward the ability to prepare complete reports such as environmental site assessments, emissions reports, monitoring reports, groundwater and soil investigation reports, compliance reports, and other project documentation.
• Assist in preparing permit applications and regulatory agency submittals and responses, including gathering supporting documentation and researching regulatory requirements.
• Compile data and prepare basic engineering calculations to support reports, design documents, and other technical studies.
• Support design efforts for landfills and landfill gas systems, including preparation of construction plans and related documentation.
• Participate in construction oversight activities in the field, including observing contractor work, documenting progress, and reporting issues to the project team.
• Use AutoCAD and Civil 3D, under supervision, to assist in preparing engineering drawings and design layouts for solid waste and related civil infrastructure projects.
• Apply Microsoft Excel and Word to organize data, perform basic analyses, and prepare clear and accurate technical documentation.
• Contribute to projects involving wastewater distribution, landfill operations, and related environmental infrastructure as your experience grows.
• Engage in ongoing learning to build proficiency in technical report writing, regulatory compliance, and solid waste engineering practices.
• Collaborate closely with a team of engineers to support project schedules, deliverables, and quality standards.

Essential Skills

• Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering.
• At least 3+ months of civil engineering or civil engineering internship experience, with total experience ideally up to one year.
• Interest in obtaining an Engineer-in-Training (E.I.T.) certification in the near future.
• Proficiency in AutoCAD at an intermediate level (approximately 5 out of 10).
• Strong skills in Microsoft Excel and Word at an above-average level (approximately 7 out of 10).
• Foundational ability in technical report writing (approximately 5 out of 10).
• Basic understanding of wastewater distribution systems.
• Ability to support design and construction oversight for landfill and landfill gas projects.
• Capability to perform basic engineering calculations and compile technical data for reports and design documents.
• Ability to lift up to 50 pounds and walk through rough terrain on a regular basis to support field work.
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to construction quality assurance and compliance with design specifications.
• Effective communication skills to work with project managers, contractors, subcontractors, and clients.
