Job description

Civil Engineer III (Power Generation / Turbine Projects) Long-term contract – Birmingham, AL Very competitive pay, time-and-a-half for OT, Mob/Demob, and strong per diem. Join a growing engineering team supporting large-scale gas turbine power projects, along with renewables and BESS. This role works closely with EPC partners and end clients to deliver turbine and power infrastructure supporting data centers and grid reliability.

• BS or MS in Civil Engineering
• 7+ years in civil design for industrial, energy, or infrastructure projects
• Experience with power generation sites, substations, or large industrial facilities
• Background supporting EPC projects or working alongside EPC teams

Skills & Competencies

• Strong understanding of power generation infrastructure (turbines, substations, BESS)
• Experience with site/civil design and hydrology tools (HEC-RAS, HEC-HMS or similar)
• Familiar with permitting, environmental, and floodplain considerations
• Ability to produce efficient, constructible designs
• Comfortable working in fast-paced, multidisciplinary environments

Why This Role Stands Out

• Work directly on gas turbine projects (not just site work)

• High-impact role supporting OEM + EPC collaboration
• Strong earning potential with OT + per diem
• High-visibility work that goes straight to construction
