• Develop engineering solutions: Prepare designs, plans, specifications, calculations, and technical reports for municipal water and wastewater infrastructure projects.
• Coordinate project activities: Work with Project Managers and technical teams to organize design tasks, track deliverables, and support project schedules and budgets.
• Connect disciplines and design efforts: Collaborate with process, civil, structural, architectural, mechanical, electrical, instrumentation and controls, and other engineering disciplines to address design interfaces and maintain project alignment.
• Evaluate technical challenges: Apply engineering principles, design standards, and regulatory requirements to assess alternatives and develop practical solutions.
• Support construction and field activities: Participate in site visits and inspections, review contractor submittals and shop drawings, respond to requests for information (RFIs), and document field observations.
• Maintain quality and follow-through: Review technical work for accuracy, communicate project issues, and coordinate next steps to help ensure timely resolution.
• Contribute to team development: Share knowledge, collaborate with colleagues, and provide day-to-day technical assistance to junior engineers as appropriate.

What Makes This Role Different

• Varied technical work: Apply your engineering experience across municipal water and wastewater projects, with opportunities to work on complex treatment and infrastructure systems.
• A connected project role: Work at the intersection of engineering design, multidisciplinary coordination, and construction support, gaining a broader understanding of project delivery.
• Collaborative problem-solving: Partner with specialists across engineering disciplines to work through design challenges and develop coordinated solutions.
• Room to grow: Build your technical capabilities, take on increasing responsibility for project deliverables, and help support the growth of other team members.

What You Bring

• Engineering experience: A background in municipal water and wastewater infrastructure, including experience contributing to multidisciplinary projects.
• Project coordination: The ability to organize technical work, communicate effectively across teams, and keep assigned tasks and deliverables moving forward.
• Accountability and initiative: A proactive approach to identifying issues, exercising sound judgment, and following through on responsibilities until they are resolved.
• Technical problem-solving: The ability to evaluate engineering challenges, apply relevant standards, and develop accurate, practical solutions.
• Communication and teamwork: Strong written and verbal communication skills and the ability to work effectively with colleagues, clients, and external partners.
• Technical tools: Familiarity with engineering design documentation, hydraulic modeling, project scheduling, and document review software.

Qualifications

• Education: Bachelor's or master's degree in engineering or a related scientific discipline.
• Experience: Five or more years of relevant engineering experience in the planning, design, and analysis of municipal water and wastewater infrastructure.
• Professional licensure: Oregon Professional Engineer (PE) license in Civil or Environmental Engineering preferred.
• Technical knowledge: Understanding of municipal wastewater systems, engineering design principles, construction methods, and applicable codes and standards.
• Software: Experience with Bluebeam Revu, Microsoft Project, AFT Fathom, and Visual Hydraulics, and is preferred.
