Job description

Overview

The Project Engineer will work closely with other engineers and CAD technicians on various civil, solid waste, and environmental related projects. The projects are challenging and provide unique design opportunities. You will be responsible for designing solid waste facilities that will enable LaBella to create sustainable, cost-effective solutions tailored to the specific needs of our clients. The projects are intricate and incorporate both civil and environmental engineering skills, including land development (grading and stormwater management); leachate collection, treatment, and management; renewable energy designs; and organic waste management. Brand new, already operational, and closed solid waste facilities face many different types of challenges – there is never a dull moment, nor is there a cookie-cutter solution that fits every similar situation.

Responsibilities

• Projects will include solid-waste related site development projects: developing master plans, design drawings, design of stormwater management and erosion control systems, technical specifications, and cost estimates.
• Preparing various types of related reports and studies to secure permitting for projects.
• Drafting work for scoping/conceptual work/engineering packages.
• Position will require some travel to clients’ facilities to better understand design issues and to monitor construction progress.

Qualifications

• Minimum requirements include a BS in Civil or Environmental Engineering
• E.I.T. required
• Intent to obtain Professional Engineer license
• Minimum 4 years of civil engineering experience, including solid waste, land development, or closely related projects
• Knowledge of AutoCAD and Civil3D
• Ideal candidate has the traits of a team player who is enthusiastic about all aspects of engineering and project management and can lead projects from planning and preliminary engineering through design and construction
• Must have good communication skills, be a team player and be able to relate well to project team, clients, regulators, and contractors

Our benefit offerings cover the must-haves (healthcare and retirement), the just-in-cases (insurances and employee assistance programs), and the cherry-on-tops (fitness reimbursements, year-end incentive pay, and tuition assistance).
