• Adapt engineering methods: Independently apply and modify established engineering techniques, procedures, and criteria to address project-specific needs.
• Assess project sites and constraints: Review existing building plans, evaluate site conditions, and identify potential design, accessibility, utility, grading, constructability, and permitting challenges.
• Use engineering software: Apply AutoCAD, OCalc, RISA 3D, and other relevant design tools to complete technical work within established schedules and budgets.
• Conduct quality reviews: Review project deliverables for technical accuracy and quality while providing guidance to engineers, technicians, and administrative staff involved in project execution.
• Coordinate external technical inputs: Review and coordinate subconsultant deliverables, including geotechnical reports, surveys, structural mappings, and supporting technical documentation.
• Support project management: Assist project managers with client coordination, project scoping, proposal development, resource allocation, internal workflows, production oversight, schedule tracking, and deliverable management.
• Participate in project meetings: Attend internal and client meetings, communicate technical information, present project updates, and explain assigned work as needed.
• Prepare project documentation: Develop technical correspondence and submittal materials, including waiver requests, responses to comments, and other project-specific communications.

Requirements

• Education: Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering.
• Professional experience: At least five years of relevant telecommunications engineering experience.
• Professional licensure: Active Professional Engineer (PE) license.
