Job description

Arcadis is the world's leading company delivering sustainable design, engineering, and consultancy solutions for natural and built assets.

Everyone has an important role to play, and together we can solve the world’s most complex challenges and deliver more impact together.

Arcadis is seeking a self‑starting and experienced Project Civil/Environmental Engineer to support an expanding portfolio of projects throughout the United States. As a Project Engineer you will collaborate with scientists, engineers, project managers, and technical experts on various activities in support of civil design and environmental permitting projects for a diverse portfolio, including projects in the energy, industrial, and transportation sectors associated with site development, reclamation, and restoration projects.

Arcadis provides multiple onboarding and development programs created for our professionals that expand career growth and help drive creativity, innovation, and greater integration within our local, national, and global teams.

Role Accountabilities

Responsibilities include working with project managers and team members to develop engineering designs for permitting or construction permits. The candidate should have demonstrated experience with the management of civil or environmental engineering projects, including land development and associated planning, soil and erosion control design, and stormwater permitting. They should also be able to analyze documentation such as technical reports, construction submittals, maps, drawings, tests, and aerial photographs to understand site characteristics (e.g., geotechnical properties, terrain, hydrologic and hydraulic characteristics) to support design development. The candidate will review applicable regulations, permitting requirements, and standards, interpret data and regulatory constraints, and develop civil engineering designs on projects of varying complexity. They will produce quality materials within tight timeframes while simultaneously managing several assignments.

This role will primarily be office‑based; however, as needed, you will conduct field assignments, including participating in face‑to‑face client, technical, and stakeholder meetings. You will be required to travel up to 15%. Additional responsibilities include delegating work and mentoring junior engineers, facilitating group meetings, and working effectively with local, national, and global technical and client teams.

Required Qualifications

• Successful completion of the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam
• Minimum 5 years of professional experience
• Fluency with AutoCAD, Autodesk Civil 3D, or other terrain modeling design software
• Experience with hydrologic/hydraulic modeling (e.g., HydroCAD, WinTR-55, PondPack, HEC-RAS)

Preferred Qualifications

• Master of Science in Environmental, Chemical, or Civil Engineering or a closely related field
• OSHA 40‑Hour HAZWOPER Training
• Professional Engineering license(s)
• Certification as a Professional in Erosion and Sediment Control
• VADEQ‑Certified Plan Reviewer and Inspector for Erosion and Sediment Control and/or for Stormwater Management
