Senior Civil Engineering, PE

Capital Projects Engineer (PE) | Municipal Infrastructure, Water & Wastewater

Big projects. Growing communities. Infrastructure that actually makes a difference.

We're connecting with experienced Professional Engineers (PEs) interested in municipal infrastructure, public works, water and wastewater systems, environmental engineering, structural engineering, and capital improvement projects throughout the Tri-Cities region.

Whether your background is in municipal government, engineering consulting, utilities, environmental services, or large-scale infrastructure development, we'd love to connect!

We're building relationships with engineers who enjoy solving complex problems, managing meaningful projects, and helping communities develop the infrastructure they need for the future.

From water treatment facilities and wastewater infrastructure to roads, bridges, public facilities, and multimillion-dollar capital improvements, these opportunities offer the chance to apply your engineering expertise to projects that directly impact the communities around you.

We're particularly interested in engineers with experience in one or more of the following areas:

Capital Improvement Projects (CIP): Planning, designing, budgeting, coordinating, and delivering municipal infrastructure improvements from concept through construction.

Water & Wastewater Engineering: Water treatment, wastewater treatment plants, pump stations, distribution systems, collection systems, pipelines, and utility infrastructure.

Environmental Engineering: Water quality, environmental compliance, permitting, wastewater systems, stormwater management, and sustainable infrastructure.

Civil & Municipal Engineering: Public works infrastructure, roadway improvements, site development, stormwater systems, utilities, and municipal construction projects.

Structural Engineering: Structural design, analysis, evaluation, rehabilitation, and construction support for bridges, public buildings, water infrastructure, and other municipal facilities.

Engineering Project Management: Consultant oversight, contractor coordination, construction administration, capital budgets, scheduling, and multidisciplinary project delivery.

Depending on your background and the opportunity, responsibilities may include:

Lead or support municipal engineering and capital improvement projects from initial planning through design, construction, and completion.

Design, evaluate, and improve water, wastewater, stormwater, structural, and other public infrastructure systems.

Develop engineering specifications, technical reports, cost estimates, project schedules, and construction documents.

Manage capital budgets, project expenditures, consultant agreements, and contractor performance.

Review engineering designs, drawings, calculations, permits, and technical documentation for compliance with applicable standards.

Coordinate with public works departments, municipal leadership, regulatory agencies, engineering consultants, and contractors.

Support environmental permitting, regulatory compliance, infrastructure planning, and system improvements.

Identify opportunities to improve infrastructure reliability, operational efficiency, public safety, and long-term asset performance.

Provide technical guidance, problem-solving, and project leadership throughout planning, design, construction, and commissioning.

What We're Looking For

Professional Engineer (PE) license , preferably in Washington State, or ability to obtain Washington licensure through comity.

Experience in civil, environmental, water/wastewater, structural, municipal, utilities, or infrastructure engineering.

Background supporting public works, municipal capital projects, utility infrastructure, or related consulting engineering projects.

Strong understanding of engineering design, construction methods, project delivery, permitting, and applicable codes and standards.

Experience with engineering project management, budgets, schedules, contractors, or consultant coordination.

Ability to interpret engineering drawings, specifications, calculations, and technical documentation.

Strong communication, collaboration, analytical, and problem-solving skills.

Experience working with municipalities, public agencies, utility districts, engineering consultants, or infrastructure contractors is highly valued.

Particularly Valuable Experience

Water and wastewater treatment facilities, pump stations, pipelines, and utility systems.

Municipal Capital Improvement Programs (CIP) and infrastructure master planning.

Environmental permitting, water quality, stormwater, and regulatory compliance.

Structural analysis, design, rehabilitation, and infrastructure assessments.

Construction engineering, project management, consultant oversight, and public contracting.

AutoCAD Civil 3D, Revit, structural analysis software, hydraulic modeling, GIS, or other relevant engineering tools.

Experience with Washington State Department of Ecology, Department of Health, Department of Transportation, or other applicable regulatory agencies.

Washington PE licensure is strongly preferred. Structural engineering opportunities may require a Washington Structural Engineer (SE) license depending on project scope.

We'd love to hear from professionals with backgrounds such as:

Capital Projects Engineer | CIP Engineer | Civil Engineer | Senior Civil Engineer | Municipal Engineer | City Engineer | Water Resources Engineer | Water/Wastewater Engineer | Environmental Engineer | Structural Engineer | Project Engineer | Public Works Engineer | Utilities Engineer | Engineering Project Manager

Engineers from private consulting firms, utility providers, construction organizations, and public agencies are all encouraged to connect.

You don't necessarily need previous municipal employment. Relevant experience delivering public infrastructure projects through engineering consulting or other technical environments may translate extremely well.

Meaningful infrastructure. Long-term career opportunities. A growing region.

The Tri-Cities continues to need experienced engineering professionals who can support essential infrastructure, public utilities, and community development.

We're building a network of talented engineers interested in current and future opportunities across municipal government, public works, utilities, and infrastructure development throughout Eastern Washington.

Whether you're actively exploring a new role or simply open to hearing about the right opportunity down the road, we'd love to learn more about your background, technical specialties, and long-term career goals.

Your next project could help shape an entire community. Let's connect!

This posting supports recruitment for current and anticipated engineering opportunities. Specific positions, compensation, schedules, and requirements will vary by employer and project. Joining our talent network does not guarantee an immediate opening.
