Your support will also extend to project management activities. Additionally, you will contribute to sustainability and resilience projects by conducting vulnerability assessments, mitigation planning, and designing solutions for utilities, municipalities, and cities.

You will also support professional engineering services during construction, which may include construction observation, review of shop drawings, responses to request for information (RFIs) and permit closeouts.

In addition to the accountabilities mentioned above, you will also:

1. Assess, develop, and support management of sustainability and resilience projects including vulnerability and mitigation assessments, and planning and design for utilities, municipalities, and cities.
2. Identify and support funding applications and grant management services.
3. Support Asset Management projects performing data analytics, operational and organizational assessments, condition assessments and overall performance evaluations of water/wastewater/stormwater facilities.
4. Support preparation of reports, presentations, and other audio-visual materials, and participate in client meetings.

You should be proactive and capable of embracing new projects and challenges regularly. Effective communication skills, both written and verbal, are essential to convey information clearly and collaborate effectively with team members and clients.

Being self-motivated, team-oriented, and adaptable is important as you will need to navigate and address new challenges as they arise. Exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills will enable you to tackle complex issues and devise innovative solutions. Knowledge of engineering concepts, theories, and practices related to water/wastewater/stormwater is essential. Familiarity or experience with AutoCAD or ArcGIS and proficiency in Microsoft Office applications such as Excel, Word, and PowerPoint are also valuable skills that will contribute to your success in this role.
