What You'll Do

As a civil site engineer on this team, your primary focus is site design for substations and related utility infrastructure. That work includes grading, drainage layout, stormwater management system design, paving, and erosion control planning. You will use AutoCAD Civil 3D to develop design models and produce construction drawings, and will apply hydrology and hydraulics tools, including Hydraflow Hydrographs, Hydraflow Express, and Hydraflow Storm Sewers, to size and document stormwater systems. Preparing Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan reports and stormwater compliance documentation is a core part of the position.

You will interpret geotechnical reports and subsurface investigation data to inform grading decisions and foundation recommendations. Foundation work may include design assistance on shallow foundations, spread footings, and drilled piers. You will prepare and assemble permitting packages and coordinate with local and state regulatory agencies to move projects through the approval process.

The role also involves close coordination with electrical, structural, and geotechnical engineers throughout the design phase. You will contribute to technical reports, project specifications, and construction documents, participate in internal QA/QC reviews, and conduct field assessments and construction-phase coordination visits at project sites.
