This is an excellent opportunity for a leader who is passionate about infrastructure improvement, mentorship, and contributing to the growth of a high-performing collection systems practice.

• Direct hydraulic modeling, capacity analyses, and system master planning efforts
• Lead project teams, coordinate resources, and manage budgets, schedules, and deliverables to ensure successful project execution
• Perform and review engineering analyses, designs, and technical reports related to system performance, expansion, and rehabilitation
• Prepare and present proposals, technical memoranda, plans and specifications, and cost estimates to clients and stakeholders
• Manage construction-phase services, including submittal reviews, RFIs, and field coordination
• Mentor and support junior engineering staff, fostering technical development and growth
• Build and maintain strong client relationships while contributing to business development efforts within collection and conveyance services

Skills, Knowledge and Expertise

• Professional Engineer (PE) license required or ability to obtain within 6 months
• 7+ years of experience in wastewater collection systems and conveyance design
• Demonstrated experience with sewer system hydraulics and modeling tools (e.g., SewerGEMS, SWMM) and pump station design

• Proven ability to manage multiple projects and consistently deliver on schedule and within budget

This is a hybrid role, offering the best of both worlds—collaborate in-office with a high-performing team and enjoy the flexibility of working remotely part of the week. We're committed to supporting work-life balance while maintaining strong team connection and project delivery.
