• Roads: geometric design, pavement structure, intersections, traffic control, active transportation (sidewalks, bike lanes), grading
• Utilities: potable water distribution, sanitary sewer collection, stormwater management (SWM ponds, LID features, storm sewers), and coordination of dry utilities (electrical, gas, telecom, streetlighting)
• Servicing: lot grading, servicing plans, utility corridor coordination, and connections to existing municipal infrastructure
• Establish and maintain design standards, specifications, and criteria manuals consistent with municipal, provincial/state, and industry codes (e.g., AASHTO, local Design Criteria/Standards, MOE/EPA guidelines)

• Conduct performance reviews and support technical/professional development of staff (including EIT/P.Eng. progression)

Project & Stakeholder Coordination

• Liaise with developers, consulting engineers, contractors, and utility companies throughout design and construction.
• Coordinate with Planning and Development departments to align infrastructure requirements with subdivision/site plan approvals

• Coordinate inspection and quality assurance requirements with construction/field services teams
• Monitor changes to codes, standards, and regulatory requirements (municipal bylaws, provincial/state environmental regulations, AASHTO/local road standards)
• Lead updates to design guidelines, standard drawings, and review checklists
• Track review cycle times, approval metrics, and recurring design deficiencies to streamline the process

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering (or related discipline)
• Professional Engineer license (P.Eng./PE) required or eligibility to obtain within a defined timeframe
• 7+ years of experience in civil infrastructure design and/or development review, including roads and municipal utilities (water, sanitary, storm)
