Civil Engineer

The Civil Engineer will lead and support complex infrastructure projects critical to Alaska's industrial and energy sectors. This role is responsible for the planning, design, analysis, and construction oversight of civil and structural systems for facilities, pipelines, roads, pads, and related infrastructure in remote and often challenging environments. The Senior Civil Engineer serves as a technical expert, mentor, and key project contributor, ensuring safe, reliable, and cost-effective engineering solutions that meet project, regulatory, and industry standards.

Essential duties include:

• Leading civil engineering efforts during project planning, including development of resource plans, man-hour estimates, technical approaches, and project execution strategies.
• Performing and overseeing advanced engineering calculations, design analyses, and technical reviews for civil and structural deliverables.
• Reviewing and approving engineering scopes of work, schedules, cost estimates, and design criteria across all project phases.
• Developing and approving fabrication and construction scopes of work, specifications, material take-offs (MTOs), and change requests, ensuring constructability and alignment with design intent.
• Identifying and managing design basis or scope changes, initiating change-management documentation, and providing technical justification for recommendations.
• Conducting and overseeing quality reviews of CAD and Civil 3D modeling work, ensuring accuracy and adherence to project requirements.
• Ensuring all discipline documents comply with company standards, client requirements, regulatory expectations, and industry best practices.
• Reviewing and validating supplier and vendor data, drawings, and technical submittals for compliance with project design specifications.
• Managing and monitoring project scope, schedule, budget, risks, and resource utilization.
• Leading interdisciplinary document reviews, coordination meetings, and technical interface discussions to ensure project cohesion and clarity.
• Providing technical leadership, direction, and mentorship to engineers, designers, drafters, and engineering technicians.
• Ensuring team compliance with company and client policies, procedures, and quality standards.
• Championing AES's zero-incident safety culture by modeling safe work practices and embedding safety considerations into engineering decisions and field activities.
• Performing additional duties and responsibilities as required.

Required experience includes:

• Possess a Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering or a closely related field.
• Have 5 - 10 years of relevant engineering experience, preferably in the oil and gas or construction industries.
• Possess an Active Alaska Professional Engineer (PE) registration in Civil Engineering.
• Have experience in civil engineering design related to industrial facilities, site development, roads, pads, drainage, foundations, and Arctic or cold-region environments (preferred).
• Display advanced proficiency with AutoCAD, Civil 3D, and civil engineering analysis tools; strong working knowledge of Microsoft Office Suite.
• Be able to communicate complex technical concepts clearly and professionally with internal teams, clients, contractors, and regulatory agencies.
• Strong ability to evaluate complex problems, develop engineering solutions, and guide decision-making in fast-paced project environments.
• Have a strong understanding of safety regulations and the ability to integrate safe practices into engineering and construction activities.
