  • Interpret and implement regulatory code requirements and design standards based on extensive experience with federal programs

  • Lead teams in the preparation engineering assessment reports and design documents, including plans, specifications, calculations, and basis of design reports

  • Serve as a quality control reviewer to ensure civil department deliverables meet client scope requirements, engineering best practices, industry standards

  • Provide technical guidance, coaching, and mentorship to developing engineers in complex situations

  • Continually develop skills by being proactive in advancing your own workflows, systems, tools, and communication techniques

  • Occasionally travel to project and client sites for observations, meetings, and presentations

  • Bachelors Degree in Civil Engineering

  • Registration as a Professional Engineer (PE) in at least one state

  • At least 15 years of experience with civil site development projects and/or civil works infrastructure projects, including experience delivering for US Government clients, including USACE, US Navy, and other DoD clients.
