Water / Wastewater Engineer

Water/Wastewater Civil Engineer

With nearly 500 professionals across 23 offices, this firm has grown from a modest surveying company in 1978 to one of the region’s most trusted engineering & consulting service providers. Their multidisciplinary team delivers a wide range of services — civil/site design, GIS, natural‑gas infrastructure, building code support, community‑development and training — all anchored by an unwavering commitment to the values of integrity, teamwork and long‑term relationships.

Our client partners closely with municipalities, utilities, private developers and industrial clients to bring meaningful solutions to complex problems: from concept to construction, from water and sewer systems to grading, drainage, and public‑works infrastructure. Their culture emphasizes the importance of taking care of their staff so they can, in turn, deliver exceptional results — making this a place where career growth, technical challenge and team collaboration truly coexist.

What you’ll do:

• Lead and manage water and wastewater infrastructure projects from concept through completion—partnering with project teams and mentoring engineers, designers, and interns.
• Deliver engineered solutions for municipal and industrial systems: small and large diameter pipelines, water/sewer mains, pump and lift stations, elevated water towers, storage reservoirs, and optionally treatment plant facilities.
• Monitor project schedules, budgets, change orders and contract amendments, prepare technical reports and proposals, and act as client advocate to ensure satisfaction from design through construction.
• Provide leadership across the team: reviewing designs, coordinating resources, offering technical feedback, overseeing deliverables, and ensuring quality, regulatory compliance and constructability.
• Engage in field work and site audits: inspect pipeline alignments, pump station layouts, tower foundations and structural interfaces; support construction observation and troubleshoot as necessary.

What you bring:

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering (or closely related discipline) and 3‑6 years (or more) of water/wastewater design experience.
• Professional Engineer (PE) license (or ability to obtain) and a strong familiarity with water and sewer infrastructure—pipelines, pump/lift stations, towers and municipal systems.
• Hands‑on experience with design software such as AutoCAD / Civil 3D, hydraulic/hydrologic modeling, pipeline network analysis, and production of construction drawings/specifications.
• Business‑minded attitude—comfortable with client interaction, managing scope, schedules and budgets, and delivering on project commitments.
• Leadership mindset—capable of mentoring junior staff and collaborating across disciplines while also executing detailed design work.
• Bonus: Experience with water or wastewater treatment plant design is a desirable plus.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills; ability to interpret survey/topographic data, soils reports and regulatory requirements into actionable design solutions.

What you’ll get:

• Four weeks’ paid time off from day one (one week already banked).
• 401(k) plan with company match and immediate vesting.
• Nine paid holidays—choose the ones that matter to you.
• Comprehensive benefits: health, dental, vision, plus HSA contribution.
• Company‑sponsored term life and short‑term disability; long‑term disability, cancer and accident insurance included.
• Tuition reimbursement and structured mentorship to support your growth and technical advancement.
• Incentive bonus program to reward high performance and keep you motivated.
