Water & Wastewater Project Engineer

$130 - $160 per hour

CONSOR Engineers

What Your Day Will Look Like:

As a Water/Wastewater Project Engineer, you'll play a key role in the planning, design, and delivery of essential water infrastructure projects that serve communities and support sustainable growth. Working alongside project managers, technical specialists, and multidisciplinary teams, you'll contribute to a variety of projects including water and wastewater treatment facilities, pump stations, pipelines, reservoirs, and distribution and collection systems.

Your day will involve performing engineering analyses, preparing design calculations, developing plans and specifications, and coordinating project deliverables through various stages of design and construction. You'll collaborate directly with clients, regulatory agencies, and internal stakeholders to help solve complex infrastructure challenges while ensuring projects are delivered on schedule and within budget.

As an experienced engineer, you'll have opportunities to take ownership of project tasks, mentor junior team members, participate in field investigations and construction support activities, and build lasting client relationships. This role offers a balance of technical engineering, project coordination, and professional growth while contributing to infrastructure that has a meaningful impact on the communities we serve.

Projected Compensation - $130 - $160+

What You'll Do:

  • Support the planning, design, and delivery of water and wastewater infrastructure projects, including treatment plants, pump stations, pipelines, storage facilities, and related systems.
  • Prepare engineering calculations, technical reports, specifications, and construction documents for municipal and private-sector clients.
  • Coordinate with multidisciplinary teams to develop practical, cost-effective solutions that meet project objectives, schedules, and regulatory requirements.
  • Manage project tasks and deliverables, ensuring quality, budget, and timeline expectations are achieved.
  • Participate in client meetings and serve as a day-to-day point of contact, helping build and maintain strong client relationships.
  • Conduct engineering analyses, evaluate alternatives, and provide recommendations to support project planning, design, and implementation.
  • Review plans, drawings, and technical documents to ensure compliance with applicable codes, standards, and company quality procedures.
  • Support construction-phase services, including responding to RFIs, reviewing shop drawings and submittals, conducting site visits, and resolving field issues.
  • Collaborate with senior project managers and technical leaders to develop project scopes, schedules, budgets, and staffing plans.
  • Mentor junior engineers and EITs while continuing to expand your own technical expertise and project management responsibilities.
What You'll Need:
  • Bachelor of Science in Civil, Environmental, Chemical, Mechanical, or a related engineering discipline.
  • 4+ years of water and wastewater engineering experience.
  • California Professional Engineer (PE) license.
  • Basic proficiency in AutoCAD & Civil 3D software is a plus but not required.
  • This hybrid job operates between an office environment and a field environment and routinely requires the use of standard office equipment such as computers, phones and copy machines. May require occasional exposure to work environments that may include inclement weather, heat, humidity, noise, hazard, atmospheric conditions, and bodies of water, depending on project requirements.
  • While performing the duties of this job, physical demands of the employee include frequent sitting, moving, standing, talking, hearing, and occasional balancing, stooping, kneeling, crouching, reaching, handling, grasping, and feeling. This job may occasionally require operating a company vehicle, and lifting, carrying, pushing, and pulling up to 35 lbs.

  • Work-Life Alignment - Industry-competitive PTO, seven paid holidays and two floating holidays, flexible work schedules, paid parental leave, and eligibility for hybrid and remote work options for some employees based on role responsibilities.
  • Wellness - Medical, dental and vision insurance, employee assistance program, fitness and wellness reimbursement, and HSA and FSA options.
