• Evaluate surface runoff coefficients, invert, slope, velocity and hydraulic grade lines using the Rational Method and Manning’s equation.
• Apply local stormwater management design regulations.
• Design grading to achieve value engineering through earthwork analysis and site safety via appropriate slopes.
• Develop subdivision and site plans, including layout.
• Design utility systems, including stormwater conveyance, sanitary sewer service, pump station, water, gas, and telephone service, and resolve vertical and horizontal conflicts.
• Design soil erosion and sediment control, including stability calculations, best-management practices, swales, spillways, and construction sequencing.
• Prepare construction cost estimates based on site plan drawings for bonding and client purposes.
• Work independently and lead other engineers.
