The position requires an active Professional Engineer license and is intended to provide practical engineering judgment, support customer-facing technical credibility, and give buyers or specifying engineers confidence in EFG’s design recommendations.

The position supports the BD team by reviewing project information as opportunities come in, commenting on design considerations, identifying risks or gaps, and helping determine whether EFG’s recommended solution is technically appropriate. The role should keep the BD team involved in the customer relationship while reducing time spent on detailed technical review, design interpretation, and engineering coordination.

Because this position requires active Professional Engineer licensure, the role may include responsible review and stamping of applicable project work once the individual has developed sufficient familiarity with EFG’s process, standards, products, and internal controls. Use of a professional stamp must be based on sound engineering judgment, proper review, and comfort with the scope of responsibility.

Duties would include but not limited to:Responsibilities:

• Review specifications, drawings, and project data early in the opportunity process to evaluate feasibility, application fit, and technical risk.
• Provide practical design comments and engineering recommendations that support BD discussions with buyers, engineers, and project stakeholders.
• Help translate customer needs, site conditions, and project requirements into technically sound, cost-conscious system solutions.
• Assess hydraulic, civil, electrical, structural, and site-specific considerations to identify concerns before proposals or recommendations are finalized.
• Prepare early-stage documentation, including technical summaries, design assumptions, equipment recommendations, review notes, and preliminary layouts.
• Prepare design reports, engineering review packages, and supporting documentation for internal review, customer discussions, or external coordination as needed.
• Participate in client calls, site visits, pre-bid discussions, and engineer-facing conversations when technical credibility or clarification is needed.
• Collaborate with Business Development, Project Sales, internal engineering resources, and external subject matter experts to refine defensible system designs, proposal strategy, and project handoff.
• Support responsible engineering review of applicable project work, including stamped work where appropriate based on licensure, review standards, and scope of responsibility.
• Maintain current knowledge of EFG products, component manufacturers, industry standards, and application best practices.

Requirements:

• Active Professional Engineer license required; Civil PE or PE with directly relevant water/wastewater, municipal infrastructure, pump station, or site development experience preferred.
• Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering or related engineering discipline required.
• 5+ years of relevant experience in civil, water/wastewater, pump station, utility, or infrastructure-related engineering preferred.
• Demonstrated ability to review plans, specifications, submittals, and project requirements and provide practical engineering recommendations.
• Comfortable working directly with Business Development and Sales teams in a fast-moving opportunity environment.
• Ability and willingness, where properly licensed and supported by adequate review, to take professional responsibility for applicable engineering work.
• Solid understanding of pumps, hydraulics, site layout considerations, and project design coordination.
• Excellent technical writing, communication, and judgment skills.
